Cheesy Béchamel Baked Pasta Class
On-Demand Class: Video Replay + Detailed Recipe
Baked pasta is a beloved Italian classic, found in countless variations from elaborate timballi to simple pasta pies. This version is a layered baked pasta casserole seasoned with béchamel sauce and filled with prosciutto and mozzarella. It’s a comforting, crowd-pleasing dish. I’ve loved this dish since childhood, and it’s still one of our family recipes. The creamy béchamel coats the pasta, while the mozzarella melts into long, stringy filaments. When I was a child, we used to call them ‘phone cords,’ back when home phones still had curly cords.
It’s also a very adaptable recipe: add vegetables like peas, mushrooms, or artichokes, or make it heartier with sausage.
