Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook the pasta in generously salted water according to the package directions until just shy of al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Step 2

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan (see Note) and set aside.

    Step 3

    In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, red sauce, pepper, salt, and all but 1 tablespoon each of the mozzarella and Parmesan. Add the pasta and toss to coat evenly. Transfer to the prepared springform pan and sprinkle with the reserved cheeses.

    Step 4

    Bake until the top is nicely browned and crisp, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before unmolding.
