standardgrey asked: Your baked pasta recipe. I can haz?

Certainly. It’s just carbonara. Easy version:

-buy 100-200g pancetta in a chunk, not sliced. Chop.
-bake pancetta at 400 (give or take) in a casserole or baking dish for 15 mins while you boil water for noodles
-turn and toss pancetta halfway through
-once the meat and noodles are done, drain the noodles and toss them right into the pan with the meat
-add tons of parmesan cheese, pepper, huge fistfuls of chopped parsley, and a bit of lemon

For a heftier meal, whisk an egg and a cup of cream in with the cheese (add more and different kinds of cheese if desired) before tossing with the noodles, then put the whole mess back in the oven for a few minutes. Green veggies like spinach, asparagus, or broccoli go good in this version, too.
