On holidays, Sunday lunch or any special day, I like to make something different from what I prepare every day but sometimes I have little time available so I can’t make very elaborate sauces or recipes that require too much time. In that case, my baked pasta recipe saves the day. A simple and quick recipe that we can easily adapt to any type of need.
