This dish turns out to be very satisfying, and the combination of potatoes and pasta, which seems strange at first glance, is actually very tasty!

INGREDIENTS:

Potatoes	3 pcs.
Pasta (rolls, curls, penne)	250 g
Bacon	50-150 g
Onion	1 pc.
Garlic	1 clove
Butter	20 g
Heavy cream	400 ml
Gruyere cheese	200 g
Nutmeg	1/4 teaspoon
Salt/Black pepper	Add to taste

Instruction:

1.Peel the potatoes and cook in boiling salted water until half cooked for about 15 minutes. Drain the water, cut the potatoes into pieces.

2. Throw the pasta into boiling salted water and cook until al dente, leaving slightly undercooked. Throw in a colander.
3. Cut the bacon into small cubes and fry in a dry frying pan until golden brown.
4. Separately fry the finely chopped onion and garlic in butter until soft.
5. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Mix the cream with half finely grated cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and stir to dissolve the cheese. Place half of the pasta, potatoes, onion and bacon in a greased dish. Repeat layers one after another and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Pour the creamy mixture and send to the oven for 25-30 minutes: the pasta should be covered with a crust, and all the ingredients should be ready.
