ADRIANA'S PASTA PIE

Adriana's Pasta Pie image

Three words-- OH MY GOSH!!!! This is a recipe from Adriana's restaurant on The Hill in St. Louis, one of the greatest Italian neighborhoods in the country. This pie is so good it will leave you wanting more, even when you're full. It makes a LOT of extra sauce for you to save and use as you wish. I also make this ahead by only baking it for 15 minutes at first, then freezing it and baking it for an hour at a later time. Can you say "meat crust?" You will from now on... p.s. a reviewer says the recipe also appears on foodtv.com with slight variations.

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of cooking.
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will be. Whenever possible, use fresh, local, and organic ingredients.
Season your food well: Salt and pepper are the two most important seasonings, but don't be afraid to experiment with other herbs and spices. A little bit of garlic, onion, or chili powder can go a long way.
Don't overcook your food: Overcooked food is dry, tough, and flavorless. Cook your food until it is just done, then remove it from the heat and let it rest.
Use the right cooking method: Different foods require different cooking methods. For example, vegetables should be steamed or roasted, while meats should be grilled or roasted.
Be patient: Cooking takes time. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a mediocre meal. Take your time and enjoy the process of cooking.
