Ingredients
320gPastatortiglioni or rigatoni
750mlTomato puree3 cups
50gSalami2oz
50gHam2oz
2Eggs
375gMozzarella3 cups / approximately 3 balls
Instructions
Hard-boil the eggs.
Cook the pasta in boiling water until 2 minutes below the usual cooking time, then drain it. It should be very al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, turn the oven on to 180 C (350 F).
Add 1 tsp of salt to the tomato puree and mix. If you like you can add a little oregano. Chop the ham and salami into small pieces and thinly slice the mozzarella.
Drain the pasta.
Now you are ready to assemble the dish!
Put a little less than half the pasta on the bottom of an oven-proof dish.
Pour half the tomato puree on top of it and mix it a little.
Sprinkle the ham, salami and egg over the top, then cover with half the slices of mozzarella.
Add the rest of the pasta on top and pour the rest of the tomato puree evenly over it.
Finish off by covering the pasta with another layer of mozzarella slices.
Bake in the oven for 45 -50 minutes until the top is bubbling and crispy.
