Ingredients

300 g pasta
4 eggs
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
150 g cheese of your choice
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper

Instructions

Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring water to a boil, add salt, and cook the pasta until slightly underdone (al dente), as it will continue cooking in the oven. Drain the pasta and place it in a lightly greased baking dish.
Prepare the Vegetables
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and red pepper for 2–3 minutes, until softened. Pour the sautéed vegetables over the pasta.
Add the Cheese
Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the pasta and gently mix everything together.
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, add salt and pepper, and pour the mixture over the pasta, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Bake the Pie
Preheat the oven to 170–180°C (340–355°F). Bake the pasta pie for 10–15 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden.

Serving Suggestion Allow the pasta pie to cool slightly before cutting into pieces. Serve warm as a main dish or a hearty side.

A Cheesy Pasta Elixir

In Pasta Pie, al dente pasta is combined with sautéed onions, garlic, and red bell pepper. The mix is layered with cheese, bound by a rich egg mixture, then baked until the top sets and turns a light golden hue.
