Hi guys I’m Laura Vitale and on this episode of learning the kitchen I’m going to show you a super delicious recipe for pasta formal or big seedy that this was also another request and I’m really excited to show you this recipe because this is the exactly the

Same recipe that my mother uses for all of her Sunday dinners or special occasions and so that her mother so it’s super simple it might look a little bit odd to you but it trust me it works and it doesn’t only work but it just creates

The most amazing want pot oh just just trust me it’s so good but this is what you don’t need you’re gonna need some precooked pasta that I’m using rigatoni make sure any kind of process that you use make sure it’s a tattoo pasta and I

Hit lines on it to really adhere to the sauce some fresh basil some chopped so prasad this is sweet so prasad some chopped provolone and this is mozzarella now make sure to use the mozzarella that comes in a bathroom pack and not the fresh mozzarella because the fresh mozzarella is too watery some

Hard-boiled eggs chop the little pieces finally john O’Donnell some ricotta whole milk ricotta and you’re also going to need some already made meat sauce now this is a time where you have to use meat sauce you cannot be using marinara you can’t you have to use a real deal

Now this is what I this I made myself so if you want to make your own you want to check out a really good recipe go onto my website at www.att.com/biz a recipe for meat sauce and this is a set the same meat sauce i used for the lasagna

Now this is going to go really easy bringing your oven to 350 first thing you want to do second thing you want to do is mine just a little bit of sauce at the bottom of your baking dish not very much this doesn’t use a lot of songs

Because you don’t want it to be too watery mmm I love that taste I’m going to put the rest of your sauce in here leave me some in the pan for me to clean up I love it so much and you’re going to put in your surface Atta

I’m your provolone then I’m Tom this may look a little sad because I’m using sir Prasad and provolone some fresh basil half of the mozzarella make it look a little bit odd but I promised you it works and we always had hard-boiled eggs anytime we make anything stuffed like a

Meatloaf or a big CD or commercial we always had our boiled eggs in it I don’t know why but it just works well some Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup and somebody goes down now let’s not you about that you would think because like I said we don’t want this to be really watery so

Half of this container now with patience and a big wooden spoon you’re going to go to work you’re going to mix all this together be patient but it won’t come it will start to loosen up almost done here make sure you don’t break up the pasta

Either you don’t want to mix up so much of the pastas cooked falling apart and when you do pre cook the pasta make sure you cook it to add then that you still wanted to have a bite because it’s gonna cook in the oven for about 40 minutes

Now this whole thing goes in here and as you can see there’s not a lot of sauce but that’s the way ba stuff foreigners should be I’m gonna get every less bit in there now this is the crucial part the most important part okay now you’re

Going to take but I mean generally Donal and you are going to sprinkle it very evenly and generously over the top this is going to create almost like a crust it’s going to be fantastic yeah malicious this is going to create the most amazing crust and you going to
