Description
This Pasta al Forno recipe is a true classic of Italian cuisine, which I always enjoy preparing. The combination of creamy ricotta, spicy meatballs and an aromatic tomato sauce makes this dish an absolute highlight. Preparation with the Thermomix® is very simple and saves time without sacrificing the authentic taste. Perfect for a cozy family meal or a special occasion. The Pasta al Forno can also be prepared well in advance and tastes almost even better when reheated! A hearty dish that is guaranteed to please everyone.
