Baked pasta pies: ingredients and preparation

For this recipe get:

• Approximately 150 g of penne (or pasta of your choice)
• 4 eggs
• 150 ml of milk
• 100 g of grated Parmesan
• 300 g of diced tomatoes
• 2 cloves of garlic minced
• 1 onion chopped
• just enough chopped fresh basil
• just enough pepper
• just enough salt

Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water as usual. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200° and grease the muffin pan. Keep it handy, just enough time to prepare everything and you can put it in the oven.

In the meantime, cut the tomatoes into cubes and place them in a bowl. Slice the onion finely, chop the garlic and chop the basil, then add them to the bowl and mix to flavor the seasoning well.

Drain the pasta, divide it in half to reduce its size and transfer it to a bowl, add the seasoned tomatoes and mix to combine.

Separately, break the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, season with salt and pepper and emulsify well with the tines of a fork.

Now, with a spoon, fill the cups with the tomato-scented paste and pour in the milk and egg mixture. Sprinkle with grated cheese and bake for 15/20 minutes. Remove them from the oven when they are golden on the surface. Serve them still hot and steaming, they are wonderful.
