Online Round 2 Recipe Savory Noodle Pie

SAVORY NOODLE PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
• Mix the reserved pastas together with half the mozzarella, scallions, and the reserved bacon. Pat the pasta mixture into the pie dish. Whisk the eggs with the milk, half the Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour egg mixture over the pasta and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Place dish on a baking sheet and bake until set and the top is browned and bubbling, about 30-35 minutes. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
• While the pie is baking, make the sauce: Combine the tomatoes, olive oil, basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the sauce over slices of the Noodle Pie.
• TIP: Tossing the eggs in the heated pan will help to cook the eggs, and will also keep them from scrambling, resulting in a creamy delicious sauce.

SPAGHETTI CARBONARA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti, cover the pot, and bring it back to a boil. Remove the cover, stir, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta and set aside. (Reserve 1 cup pasta for the Round 2 Recipe Savory Noodle Pie.)
• While the pasta is cooking, place of the bacon into a large skillet over medium heat and cook until crispy, about 8 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with half the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Transfer the bacon to a sheet tray lined with a paper bag (reserve 2 strips for the Online Round 2 Recipe Savory Noodle Pie). Chop the remaining 6 pieces and set aside. Remove all but 1 tablespoon fat from the pan and put the pan back on the heat. Add the cooked spaghetti and toss to coat in the bacon fat. Turn off the heat and add the egg mixture. Toss gently to coat the pasta and cook the eggs. Toss in the chopped bacon. If the sauce is too thick, add the pasta water 1/4 cup at a time until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Serve immediately garnished with the remaining cheese and parsley.
