Enjoy perfectly baked pasta with creamy melted cheeses, creating a dish that is both simple and rich in flavor.
A classic comfort recipe, perfect for family meals and cozy gatherings.
Ingredients (3–4 servings):
• 400–500 g pasta (penne or rigatoni)
• 200 g grated cheese (edam or gouda)
• 150 g halloumi, grated
• 250 ml cream
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt & freshly ground black pepper
Method:
1. Cook the pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until almost al dente – drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the sauce
In a bowl whisk together the cream, egg, salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg.
3. Combine ingredients
Add the cooked pasta to the bowl and mix with half of the grated cheeses.
4. Assemble the dish
Transfer everything into a buttered baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheeses evenly on top.
5. Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25–30 minutes until lightly baked and creamy.
Tips:
• Let the pasta rest for 5 minutes after baking so the sauce sets properly.
• For extra flavor add sautéed mushrooms, bacon or roasted vegetables.
• A sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving adds freshness.
Serve warm.
