Baked Pasta Dishes

Italian cooking is very difficult to pin down -- almost every city and town has its specialties, and there are regional trends too; the end result is a huge number of local cuisines rather than a single national cuisine. However, there are some dishes that you will find almost everywhere, and that are now standards among the many Italian communities scattered across the globe.

Fusilli al Formaggio

Lasagne al Forno

Lasagne al Pesto

Lasagne alla Ricotta

Maccheroncini al Prosciutto
