Equipment

  • 10-inch x 5-inch loaf pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggplants
  • 3 red bell peppers
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp pepper
  • 7 oz cooked bucatini noodles
  • 2 eggs
  • 0.33 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Cut the eggplants lengthwise into thin slices, spread them out on your work surface, and sprinkle with salt. Wait about 5 minutes and dab the moisture from the eggplants with paper towels. You can also cook the bucatini noodles.
  • Halve the slices again lengthwise and line the loaf pan with them in a crisscross pattern. Make sure to save some slices back for the "lid" later.
  • Cut off the tops and bottoms of the bell peppers and dice them into small pieces. Remove the core from the bell peppers so you're left with 3 ribbons.
  • Add the diced bell peppers, garlic, onion, and rosemary to a bowl, together with the ground beef, eggs, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
  • Spread about ⅔ of the ground beef mixture over the eggplant slices, with the edges coming up to the top of the loaf pan.
  • Place the 3 bell pepper ribbons next to each other in the pan with the openings facing up.
  • Lay the cooked bucatini noodles inside the bell pepper ribbons.
  • Mix the eggs and heavy cream and pour the mixture over the noodles.
  • Close the peppers over the noodles and spread the remaining ground beef mixture on top.
  • Arrange the remaining eggplant slices on top of the terrine and cook for 40 minutes.
