Neapolitan Pasta Pie (Frittata di Maccheroni)

Product Description

An authentic taste of Southern Italian tradition, our Neapolitan Pasta Pie is a magnificent centerpiece designed for easy, elegant entertaining. Crafted using time-honored Campanian recipes, premium bronze-die durum wheat spaghetti is tossed in a rich egg batter, deeply enriched with a decadent blend of smoky provolone, sharp pecorino, and creamy mozzarella. Layered with artisanal Italian cured meats including salame and delicate prosciutto, it is baked to golden perfection with a beautifully crisp, textured exterior and a perfectly tender, savory interior.

Perfect as a rustic brunch focal point, an upscale casual dinner, or sliced into wedges for an authentic Italian aperitivo spread alongside fresh olives and charcuterie.

Warming & Heating Instructions

For the best artisanal results, we highly recommend heating this product from a partially or fully thawed state to ensure an ultra-crispy crust and a perfectly molten, hot center.

• Prep: For optimal texture, thaw the pie in its refrigeration packaging overnight before heating. Remove all plastic wrap or films before cooking.
• Conventional Oven (Recommended for the Ultimate Crispy Crust)

  1.   Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

  2.   Place the whole or sliced Pasta Pie onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or directly onto a wire rack for maximum airflow.

  3.   From Thawed: Bake for 20–25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F) and the exterior shell turns a deep, sizzling golden brown.

  4.   From Frozen: Tent loosely with aluminum foil and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 40 minutes, remove the foil, and crisp for an additional 10–15 minutes.

  5.   Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing with a sharp serrated knife.
