Bubbly, melty, and cozy. Those 3 words best describe this delicious recipe that Chef Nikki Cascone came up with to win the challenge. Why wouldn't she? Although meatless, the veggies and cheeses more than make up for the lack of protein. And it's tasty, too!
PASTA:
Form a well on cutting board with flour adding pinch of salt (reserve small amount of flour for rolling out dough). Add egg yolks to well. Using a fork, make quick circles then begin mixing yolks slowly sprinkling in flour. To keep sides of flour from collapsing, use your hands in a cupping motion as you stir with other hand. When a ball is formed, take ball out and begin working in remaining flour with hands (dough should not be too dry or too wet when time to wrap in plastic). Once wrapped in plastic, place in refrigerator. Allow to set for a few minutes, then roll out pasta and cut.
TOMATO SAUCE:
In a saute pan, lightly saute garlic in olive oil. Add water, tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook on medium to low heat for 1 hour.
CHEESES:
Mix ricotta cheese with parsley, basil and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate.
Make a bechamel sauce mixing in pecorino and Gouda; season.
Cook pasta, chill sheets of pasta then lay on sheet pan. In a casserole dish or lasagna pan, build layers with bechamel sauce, tomato sauce, pasta, ricotta and mozzarella. Repeat until done layering. Bake until hot and slightly crispy; let rest before serving.
