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.

- 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.
