Cooking Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the macaroni according to package instructions until al dente.
3. While the pasta cooks, prepare the cream sauce by whisking 2 eggs thoroughly in a medium bowl until well combined, then gradually incorporate the cooking cream, stirring constantly to create a smooth mixture.
4. Once cooked, drain the macaroni thoroughly and set aside.
5. Generously butter a large baking dish, ensuring all sides are well-coated.
6. Layer half of the macaroni in the prepared baking dish, creating an even base.
7. Distribute your first portion of cheese evenly across this layer, allowing it to nestle between the pasta.
8. Add the remaining macaroni as a second layer.
9. Top generously with additional cheese, creating a rich, textured surface.
10. Carefully pour the egg and cream mixture over the entire dish, ensuring all pasta is evenly covered for optimal creaminess.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top develops a golden-brown crust and the sauce is bubbling at the edges.
12. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the flavors settle.
- Use whole-grain rigatoni to lower the glycemic impact and increase fiber content. - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of milk to restore creaminess. - This dish is high in refined carbohydrates and saturated fats, resulting in a high glycemic index.
