Recipe: 1 - Timpano Pasta Cake Recipe »
It's getting chilly and that means it is pasta bake weather. I've got 5 delicious pasta bakes from pasta cakes (yes!) to delicious baked spaghetti, ravioli or gnocchi. Here are 5 reasons to look forward to winter!
Yes a pasta cake is a thing and this timpano is a baked pasta cake that you can bake in a bundt tin. It's a Sicilian dish that started off as a way to use up leftover bolognese sauce with eggplant draped on the outside. And yes it cuts just like a cake!
Want a recipe that feeds hordes but only takes 10 minutes prep? This baked ravioli is the pasta dish of your dreams. You can switch up the ravioli filling depending on what you like. It's also great for meal prepping!
Million Dollar Spaghetti is an American dish that swaps out lasagne sheets for spaghetti and makes a version of bechamel using cottage cheese and cream for a quick shortcut! This recipe also feeds 12 people!
I love these stuffed pasta shells because whenever I see those giant lumaconi pasta I have to buy them! They're filled with basil pesto, bocconcini and a rich red wine tomato pasta sauce with cheese on top. And the cooking time is just 20 minutes!
What's better than gnocchi? Baked gnocchi! Mr NQN wolfs this down whenever I make it because it has all the good things: tender parboiled gnocchi, quick bechamel, cheese and tomato!
So tell me Dear Reader, which baked pasta do you like?
