IMQARRUN IL-FORN | MALTESE BAKED MACARONI

Imqarrun il-Forn is an Italian stimulated pasta dish from Malta, made with macaroni baked in a bolognese sauce along with creamy cheese. The top is regularly crispy with brought breadcrumbs with smooth layers in between.
I across this recipe that talked about making this recipe. It had minced meat in the dish for the bolognese sauce that I had to change along with layers of grilled eggplant, with a layer of cheese and breadcrumbs.
While looking out for a road food starting with I, I got here across Iskrambol a candy drink made with banana and condensed milk a popular road food from Filipino. Since I was eager on doing only savoury road food, I had to give up on that.
Macaroni is a everyday Saturday Breakfast for Chinnu, sometimes Konda also has this. So I planned on making this for Konda’s breakfast as I couldn’t match this for any other meal. I made the regular white sauce alongside with this sauce as well.
So sooner or later this creamy Imqarrun il-forn is my pick for I in A to Z International Street Foods. If you are involved to recognize the Flatbread for I, take a look at this post.

Next layer with grated cheese and ultimately sprinkle some bread crumbs on the top.
Microwave for 2 to three minutes till the cheese melts.
