Critical Success Points

  • Cooking the raw pasta and potatoes together: the water level must be just below the top layer of potatoes.
  • First covered cooking to create steam that cooks the pasta and potatoes.
  • Add breadcrumbs, parmesan and pecorino at the end for a golden crust.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil carefully to avoid splatters.
  • The oven reaches 200°C: use kitchen gloves.
  • Hot water can cause burns; pour slowly along the edges.
