Pasta is usually made so that you eat individual pasta pieces.
In this recipe it is made as a loaf, and gets sliced, almost like a cake.
I made it in a square type Corning Ware however it can be baked in a Pyrex dish or cake tin as well.
I used
egg noodles which gave it a nice, rich taste. Ordinary taglliatelle noodles will also work well.

I ate it warm as a main meal and it can also be left for 2 - 3 hours or overnight to help it set better. It can be eaten at room temperature and will last for days.
Serve cut into wedges with either fresh fruit, vegetables or salad.
