Pasta N'casciata (página 2 de 2)Home >> Recetas
Página: 1 2 Página precedente Yo hago mis propios maccheroni rigati con la máquina para pasta Kenwood/Delonghi Pasta Machine - Kenwood, la compañía familiar inglesa. Pero casi nadie lo hace, incluso en Sicilia, por lo que bien puedes usar pasta comprada. Sólo asegúrate que esté hecha de semolina (trigo duro o durum) y extruida en bronce para que tenga una superficie extra rugosa que se cubra bien de salsa.
Precalienta tu horno a fuego alto. Llena tu olla más grande de agua, agrégale sal, NO le pongas aceite y ponla a hervir con fiereza. Cocina tu pasta, pero déjala muy al dente - no terminada de cocer, ya que se seguirá cociendo en la salsa. Escoje un refractario suficientemente grande para que quepa la pasta y todos los demás ingredientes. Aceita el interior y añade todo el pan molido breadcrumbs que requieras para cubrir la superficie completa. Esto evitará que la pasta se pegue. Sólo sarandea tu refractario como un buen buscador de oro movería su charola. Y vieme la etapa final. Agrega suficiente pasta para cubrir el fondo del refractario, luego cubre con albóndigas... ... y procede con algo de berenjenas, ajo, rebanadas de huevo y albahaca recién picada. Añade queso rallado y no seas miserable - con más queso es precioso. Continua por capas hasta que se te acaben los ingredientes. Termina con queso rallado y hornea en el horno. Ahora bien, para hornear hay varias maneras. Algunos lo hacen como una frittata di maccheroni napolitana, en una olla sobre la estufa. Otros le ponen una tapa y le ponen brasas encima para que la parte de arriba quede más crujiente. La mayoría de los cocineros modernos lo hace en el horno, pero te tomará varios intentos hasta lograr la pasta realmente crujiente que que le da a este platillo otro nivel de encanto. Retira del horno y llama a tus invitados a la mesa - ya no esperarán mucho. Coloca un plato plate encima ...
... y voltea el platillo de cabeza. Con un cuchillo levanta el refractario para abrir la pasta n'casciata ... Sirve.

I just "stumbled" upon your site a couple of days ago. I have already ordered, on your advice, "The Magic of Fire". Today, with some time on my hands, I am cooking eggs for 300 minutes. Do you think they would be a good substitution for the hard boiled eggs in the Pasta Ncasciata?Thanks for a fascinating web site.- #3

I really shouldn't come to your website right before lunch. Now I'm drooling and I can't take my lunch break for another hour...- #4

Lyra, the blog is made to be eaten in mind only, after this virtual meal a light salad will fill you up!- #5

Hello John, yes of course you could very well use the 300 minutes eggs in the Pasta ncasciata, but perhaps you could save them to eat with anchovy vinaigrette as a starter or intriguing snack. If your oven has trouble maintaining 105 celsius, you could add a dish filled with water in the oven to stabilize the temperature. Let me know how the eggs turn out!- #6

Ci sono alcuni cuochi che fanno la pasta ncasciata come un timballo di melanzane, è ancora più bello però non è veramente il modo tradizionale. Grazie per la visita!- #7

Hi FX, in the article 'Fry eggplants like a S. Mama' the eggplants are sliced length wise and deep fried, above it looks like they are sliced horizontally and pan fried instead of deep frying. Were they also salted and washed before you panfried them in the garlic oil?- #9

This is such a unique dish and looks delicious. I will give this a try and post it on my blog. I'll let you know when I do so you can come check it out!- #10

Thanks a lot for your visit! Do you have a blog too?- #11

Ben, I did this recipe before learning how to fry eggplants like a Sicilian Mama. So on the pictures they are fried like a Swiss foodie, neither salted nor washed, peeled and cut crosswise. They taste mighty fine too but after all, I think the fried eggplant skin has a nice taste too.- #12

Tara let me know how this works for you! Don't forget to let the pasta become really crispy as you bake it. What is your blog's address?- #13

Yummy! Good recipe. Thanks- #15

FX - Great website, just found it, and it's exceptional. Quick question, approximately how long should it bake in the over? Did you prepare it in individual dishes? Its difficult to judge scale in the photos? Do you ever do wine suggestions?- #16
- Comment by Lisa
Wow, that's incredible! Simply gorgeous. And you made your own pasta! My little 'ncasciata looks pale in comparison. I loved seeing the caciocavallo, too; that's something I can't get around here. I'll have to try this dish again, making it in a bowl rather than a flat baking dish. Thanks for visiting my blog and letting me know about your site! Ciao.- #17

Now this is delicious, really mouth watering? Do you think I can use smoked scamorza cheese instead of caciocavallo?Ciao ciao da Roma- #18

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous photos! Wonderful! Such a great way to show the process. Thanks :o)- #19

I made this dish tonight. It was very good. I used Italian sausage for the meatballs and added thinly sliced onions and mushrooms.- #21

Thanks a lot Don, I am working on my writing style in English and hope to improve it in the future!- #22

Jay thanks for your comments! Pasta ncasciata should bake as long as it takes for the pasta on the top and sides to turn crispy, around 20 minutes. Yes, you can very well prepare it in individual dishes as it is done in restaurants. For wine use a strong-bodied Sicilian red wine. Good luck!- #23
- Answered by fx
Lisa thanks a lot for your nice comments! Every ncasciata is different and there are many variations. Conversely I'll try to coat the dish sides with eggplants the next time!- #24
- Answered by fx
Ciao, thanks for the visit! Yes indeed I guess you could use smoked scamorza too, it's the same family as the caciocavallo. Some people do it with mozzarella, but caciocavallo is just more Sicilian! But in Rome you won't have any trouble finding some, try perhaps the Volpetti near the Piramide.- #25

Thank you Tamh! Try to make pasta ncasciata if you have a chance.- #26

Satachai, yes you can use 300 minutes eggs in the pasta ncasciata, but it's a pity, you should rather serve them as a starter or snack and use plain hard-boiled eggs in the pasta.- #27

Rick, thanks for visiting and trying out the Pasta Ncasciata! Hope to see you back!- #28

OMG. My dad was born in Naples (Italy, not Florida) so I grew up on authentic Italian food. Your beautiful baked pasta makes me want to prepare it right away! It looks like a baby "timpano" from Big Night. Luscious...Simply luscious looking! Buon Appetito, Chiffonade- #29

Chiffonade, I am glad my pasta 'ncasciata reminded you of beloved childhood memories! Thanks and hope to see you around my blog.- #30

I haven't even tried this and already I have an overwhelming sensation that I've died and gone to heaven! I will make it this week. fx, Thank you for your wonderful site and scrumptious tastes. You are a superb Gastronome and Aesthete. Keep up the fantastic work.- #31

Jason please don't die just yet and try to make yourself pasta 'ncasciata. If they have a pasta menu in Heaven they sure must have it, but you never know where you're headed and they certainly don't have it down below!- #32
- Comment by Liliana
This dish looks absolutely worth of every calorie it contains. It brings back childhood memories. I remember my mom (who is from Palermo) making something similar. I have to absolutely make this for my family. Grazie for sharing this recipe!- #33
- Answered by fx
Liliana, thanks for your kind words! Indeed pasta ncasciata is Sicilian soul food, I hope it works for you. You can make the polpette and ragù the day before and then everything is a breeze.- #34

Itʻs a beautiful thing your website is. inspirational and informative. living in san francisco,CA. itʻs nice to have so many of the necessary ingredients at hand. I am however not able to find any nice pasta extruders, any ideas? Thanks, m- #35
- Answered by fx
Mike, thanks for visiting! Pasta extruder are very easy to buy in the US. You can get one on Ebay, Amazon.com or from a variety of online shops. Mine is a Kenwood Major kitchen machine, Kenwood the British company founded by Ken Wood, not the tentacle of the General Octopus conglomerate.- #36
- Comment by Pietro
Good recipe! I don't know if I missed it but somewhere should be stated that the meatballs should be very small...I personally prefer the mozzarella instead of caciocavallo and add a few slices of cured red salami ( salciccia)- #37
- Answered by fx
Pietro, you are very right that the meatballs must be small ('polpettine' rather than 'polpette') and salsiccia is a great addition!- #38
- Comment by Fity
Fx..Looking at your photos, I know I have to make this dish! I have a problem though.. would it taste as good without the meatballs? Any suggestion for meatless alternatives?
Thanks a lot!
- #39
- Answered by fx
Fity, you could do this without the meatballs, try perhaps with eggplant balls or just little balls of mozzarella. I was about to suggest veal testicles but I guess that's not up your alley!- #40

Having read many of the Montalbano books and seen this dish mentioned on a number of occasions, my Google search led me to your fantastic and beautifully eccentric site. This is a truly amazing dish, and your recipe expertly guided me though what is a reasonably complex process. I can't get enough of pasta n'casciata now. I even had a dream about it last night! More Montalbano recipes in the pipeline?- #42
- Comment by Tom
Cheesy is beautiful - never a truer word written! What a stunning looking dish, will be cooking this asap . . .A question for you though - where do you source the caciocavallo cheese (and also the pecorino you use in other recipes)?
I live just over the French border from Geneva in the Aravis and, though there is a wealth of amazing cheese on offer at every turn here, I sometimes do yearn for something from a bit further afield. Any suggestions for finding cheesy nirvana in the Leman area?
Thank you, for any answer and even more so for your heavenly site.
Tom

Ciao FX,Obtained your website from the Sicilian Geneology group. Someone asked about baked pasta. I have just put it in the oven and am axiously awaiting. It brings back memories from Terrasini, Sicily where my family is from. I am second generation 100% Sicilian. Thank you for keeping the Sicilian food culture and its diversity alive. Viva Italia!

- How long to cookj? 20 minutes @350 didn't work enough to get it to hold together
