Bottomless hats

I bought these on my trip:

Sombreroni pasta.

I boiled them in salted water for 4 minutes, then I put them on a paper towel to drain.



I combined 2 cups of ricotta with one beaten egg, chopped parsley and parmesan cheese.

This mixture went into the little hats.




The stuffed hats in a pan lined with tomato sauce.


All covered in sauce.



Parmesan on top.
Cover with tinfoil and pop into a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Hot out of the oven.

 I also made garlic bread for one:


One dinner roll cut in half.




Minced garlic and melted butter spread over the roll.




Some parmesan on top.

 


I put the rolls under the broiler for 5 minutes.

As I was eating my dinner, I was contemplating why someone would make a hat pasta that was so difficult to stuff when I spied something at the bottom of the bag.




Yes, there are bottoms for the hats - Doh!!!

Oh, well, it still tasted delicious - I will use the hat bottoms next time :-)

  2. Those look delectable! I love specialty pasta but I never can muster the courage to suck it up and buy them since they're so expensive :( Also, we have the same knife! Don't you love it?
