Rigatoni Stuffed with Carbonara Sauce

Rigatoni Stuffed with Carbonara Sauce

Rigatoni stuffed with creamy carbonara sauce, pancetta, and parmesan cheese, baked to perfection and topped with a sprinkle of fresh black pepper.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Rigatoni pasta: 12 ounces
  • Eggs: 3 large
  • Parmesan cheese: 1 cup, freshly grated
  • Pancetta: 4 ounces, diced
  • Black pepper: freshly ground, to taste
  • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil to cook the rigatoni.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until it becomes crispy and golden brown. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, parmesan cheese, and black pepper until smooth. Once the pancetta is ready, reduce the heat and slowly add the egg mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly to create a creamy sauce.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Cook the rigatoni in the boiling water for about 7 minutes until just al dente. Drain the pasta and stuff each piece with the carbonara sauce mixture. Place the stuffed rigatoni in a greased baking dish.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake the rigatoni in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and slightly crispy.
  6. Finishing Touches: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese and black pepper.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or extra cheese if desired. Enjoy every bite!

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for the best texture in the sauce.
  • Don’t overcook the pasta; it will cook further in the oven.
  • Top with extra cheese for an even richer flavor.
