Ingredients
- 12 ounces bucatini pasta
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 large egg yolk, beaten
- 1 cup grated parmesan, divided
- ⅔ cup grated mozzarella
- ½ cup Asiago
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons cracked black pepper, plus more for sprinkling on top
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425˚F.
- Lightly grease a 9” spring form pan and place onto a baking sheet.
- Fill a large pot with water and place over high heat. Add a small handful of salt followed by pasta to the water and boil until pasta is al dente, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally (you want the pasta to have more of a bite than you would normally want, since you’ll be baking it too).
- Drain pasta in a colander and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together milk, cream, eggs, ¾ cup Parmesan, mozzarella, asiago, garlic, pepper, and salt until fully combined.
- Add pasta to milk mixture and toss together until all pasta is evenly and well coated.
- Pour mixture evenly into prepared springform pan, gently pressing pasta down to create a flatten top. Sprinkle extra pepper over top, cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove foil, sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top and continue to bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes or until pie has set in the center.
- Remove pie from oven and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes. Release it from the pan, slice and serve.
