BAKED MACARONI In a buttered baking dish alternate layers of cooked macaroni with layers of minced meat in plenty of gravy; fowl, veal, beef, or ham, all well seasoned; or chopped stewed mushrooms in a tasty sauce of their own liquor, thickened slightly. Cauliflower flowerettes in plenty of thin cream sauce made yellow with butter and flavored with grated Parmesan cheese can be used instead of the meat ragouts; creamed onions can be used in the same way; always remembering that macaroni will absorb a great deal of liquid, and the finished dish must be moist. Or, seasoned tomatoes in thin slices may be laid between the layers of macaroni, when the dish must be filled with tomato sauce. 26 THE EUROPEAN COOKBOOK Or, simply, slices of yellow cheese may alternate with the macaroni layers, when the dish is filled with milk. Always finish with a generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese, a sprinkling of bread crumbs, and dots of butter
