Frijenno Magnanno - Pasta e Patate al Forno

This chilly, wet spring day I choose this comfort food dish, full of gooey cheese, potato chunks and pasta with sauce. Prep time is very minimal; it doesn’t take much longer than bringing a pot of water to boil. While the water is boiling, sauté sliced potatoes with olive oil. Add a peeled tomato or two to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Remove the pasta (sempre bucatini!) before it is completely cooked (you don’t want it to become mushy in the oven) and the potato sauce in a small baking dish. Top with grated parmesan cheese and bake at 350 for about 15 minutes.
