Pasta al forno is probably one of the most caloric dishes from the Sicilian cuisine. There are many variations of this dish with more or fewer ingredients but we decided to go far a basic recipe!

While the condiment is cooking, put a pot with water on a burner and prepare a baking tray with oil, breadcrumbs and cheese. When water boils, put in a little spoon of salt and the pasta, let cook for 5 minutes; on the anelletti packaging you may read a cooking time of 10 minutes, ignore it! If you let your little rings boiling for 10 minutes, you can’t bake them, because they will be overcooked! |

Set the pasta into the baking tray and level it, then you can pour oil, cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake it for half an hour at 350 degrees F. and wait some minutes before serve it, but don’t let cool down pasta! |
