  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, chopped into cubes
  • 1 (8 ounce) container part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Recipe

  • 1 to prepare the pasta, pour flours in a food processor and spin for 30 seconds. add 1/3 cup of water, 2 tbs oil, and eggs in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk. with processor running, slowly pour mixture into the food chute, processing just until dough forms a ball. turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead lightly 5 times. shape dough into a disk. dust lightly with flour, wrap in plastic wrap, and let stand for 30 minutes.
  • 2 divide dough into 6 equal portions. working with one portion at a time, roll dough into a 20x4-inch rectangle. repeat with remaining dough to form 6 sheets.
  • 3 to prepare sauce, cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet until crisp. add onion, 1 tbs oil, and garlic to pan; saute 5 minutes or until browned. add 1/2 cup water and tomatoes, bring to a boil. stir in crushed red pepper, salt, & pepper. reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until mixture is thickened.
  • 4 bring 6 quarts water and 1 tbs salt to a boil. slowly lower 1 pasta sheet into boiling water; cook 1.5 minutes. carefully remove pasta with a slotted spoon and place in a pan with a damp towel. repeat process with all six pasta sheets.
  • 5 preheat oven to 350°f.
  • 6 place 1 pasta sheet on each of 6 individual baking dishes lightly coated with cooking spray. layer each of the three cheeses and sauce while folding the piece of pasta back & forth. bake at 350°f for about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • 7 notes:
  • 8 *i also added some extra parmesan cheese on the top near the end, turned the oven up to a broil to crisp up the cheesy top quickly.
  • 9 *this works well as a make ahead or freezer meal.
  • 10 *the smoky flavor of the bacon in the sauce makes the dish.
