Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lbs (454 g) dry linguine
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 small white onion
- 8 oz (227 g) burrata cheese
- 2 cups (473 ml) whole-milk ricotta
- 1 cups (237 ml) grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- 1 cups (237 ml) chopped parsley
- 3 tbsp chopped chives
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Butter a 2-quart baking dish or a deep 9-inch ovenproof skillet.
Pasta Cooking
- Cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and transfer the pasta to a large bowl.
- Toss with butter and allow it to cool to almost room temperature.
Onion Sauté
- In a skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Add the finely diced onions and sauté until translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
Mixing the Ingredients
- To the cooled pasta, add the sautéed onions, chopped burrata cheese, whole-milk ricotta, grated Parmigiano Reggiano, chopped parsley, and chopped chives.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the two eggs and then add them to the pasta mixture.
- Mix everything thoroughly.
Baking
- Transfer the mixed ingredients into the prepared baking dish or skillet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top turns a golden brown and the edges are crispy.
Finishing Touch
- Remove the dish from the oven and immediately sprinkle freshly ground black pepper on top.
- Allow the linguine pie to rest for about 30 minutes to set.
Serving
- Cut the linguine pie into wedges and serve.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, use whole milk ricotta instead of part-skim.
- To prevent a soggy bottom, ensure the pasta is well-drained and slightly cooled before mixing with other ingredients.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
