Rigatoni pie

To prepare the pasta pie, first boil the eggs: place them into a pot with cold water, and as soon as they come to a boil, let them cook for about 9 minutes.When they are cooked, remove the shells while they are still warm and set the eggs aside 1. In the meantime, prepare the sauce: finely chop an onion and a clove of garlic 2 and place the chopped mixture in a large oiled pan. Let everything sweat for about fifteen minutes, adding a few tablespoons of water if necessary so as not to burn the sauce 3.

Add the tomato puree 4, season with salt and cook over low heat until the sauce has thickened: it will take about 30-35 minutes. Flavor hand-thorn basil leaves and thyme leaves 5. Slice the eggs with a knife or egg cutter to obtain regular slices 6.

Now cut the salami, mortadella and provola 7 into small cubes. Also cut the mozzarella into cubes and put in a strainer so it will release the excess whey 8. Boil plenty of water, add salt, and cook the rigatoni 9.

Drain the pasta halfway through cooking and immediately put it in the sauce 10, then add 2-3 cubes each of salami, mortadella 11 and provola 12.

Mix everything carefully 13 and transfer half of the mixture into a 13x9 inch (34x24 cm) baking dish 14. Add a couple of tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese and half the boiled eggs 15.

Then add the remaining part of mortadella, salami 16 and provola 17. Cover with the rest of the pasta 18

and finish with mozzarella 19 and the remaining part of eggs and grated Parmesan cheese 20. Your pasta is ready to bake in a static oven preheated to 390° F (200° C) for about 15 minutes, then 4-5 minutes under the grill to brown the surface. Enjoy your meal 21!
