Pizza gets baked in the oven

>>19748616
pasta? like just a big pot of pasta and sauce, maybe some meat and cheese?

>>19748616
Round these parts we have the generic term "pasta,bake". Lots of varieties like tuna Mornay

>>19748619
?
>>19748632
I said not baked

>>19748628
Shouldn't there be something more specific though?

>>19748642
>?
You heard me you troon

>>19748642
Cook it all and fry it up in a pan the next day. You'll get something more akin to oven baked pasta.

That's just... literally any pasta dish that you don't bake. I don't understand what you're asking. Make a sauce, boil pasta, put the pasta in the sauce, don't bake it. wa la

>>19748616
What exactly are you asking for? If you want that crust of cheese on top, it has to be baked.

>>19748669
I don't want the crust.

>>19748703
then just put some pasta in your instant pot, pour a jar of pasta sauce on top, and 5 minutes later you can pig out to your hearts content.

But what I'm really concerned about, and I probably should've said this but I wasn't thinking clearly, is the cheese. I don't want the crust but I want the sticky gooey cheese. I guess I want to aim for something between Spaghetti and Ziti. I have mozzarella but I don't think that'll cut it. Should I get Ricotta too? I figure I won't need egg. The idea is to put all in one pot and make a cheesy creamy pasta.

>>19748616
goulash.

>>19748616
Got a slow cooker, milk powder, and, for whatever reason, an outlet timer?

>>19748746
yeah you'll need ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, and either asiago or fontina, in that order.

>>19748797
>and either asiago or fontina
What would these be for? I'm not familiar. And I'm using farfalle for the noodles.

>>19748791
I have an instant pot, buttermilk powder, a raspberry pi and wire strippers, hit me with it alton

>>19748812
Flavor. Ricotta gets you creaminess (but doesn't have a lot of cheesy flavor), Mozzarella gets you stringiness (but doesn't have a lot of cheesy flavor), Parmesan and Asiago get you flavor. Parmesan has a strong cheesy flavor but is too sharp and will quickly overpower the other flavors; Asiago and Fontina provide cheesy flavor that is more full and round without too much sharpness, but if you only use those without the Parmesan then the cheesy flavor will be very flat and one-dimensional. You want roughly equal parts Parmesan and your choice of Asiago or Fontina (or Pecorino, which is the other classic pairing with Parmesan).

>>19748746
Just make the sauce, cook some pasta, add the pasta to the sauce pot and stir in some grated cheese. It will melt instantly if the pasta and sauce are hot.

>>19748839
Thank you. That sounds perfect.

Man OP I hope for your sake that you're just incredibly high right now.

>>19748901
lol this
it's just fucking pasta and sauce with cheese on top, you can cook it in a pan

>>19748616
>Are there any meals like ziti/lasagna
yes take all the ingredients for lasagna, substitute some other noodles for lasagna noodles.

make in pot. I do it all the time.

>>19749010
Do you use egg

>>19748746
Just... put grated cheese in your pasta. It's not complicated.

>>19749016
I make all the ingredients the same as I would for lasagna. I use egg in the ricotta yes. then I add them together in a large pan. voila!

>>19748642
>Shouldn't there be something more specific though?
given that there's literally hundreds of different pasta dishes that fit your description, no

>>19749064
>No, but also, yes
Which is it anon

>>19749112
that wasn't a "no but also yes"
it was an unambiguous 100% no

I was just thinking about this. You can try make lasagna like pasta In like a Dutch oven but the direct heat on the bottom may cause issues

>>19748616
the secret to making something like a baked ziti or lasagne on the stove top is cooking the dry pasta in the pasta sauce
load it up with cheeses when about to serve
wala

You've inspired me to try making cannelloni next time I'm off work. It can't be hard, right?

>Boil lasagne sheets
>Fry beef
>Mix beef with sauce
>Put on pasta sheets
>Roll the fuckers
>Bake inside a sauce

Is cooking really this easy?

>>19750032
Go away, gaylord.

>"Is there anything like this thing that specifically needs to be baked that doesn't require baking?"

I'm gonna assume I'm giving you the ((you)) you're after

>>19750032
not going to work.

>>19750032
Never gonna work

>>19749930
>cooking the dry pasta in the pasta sauce
Hmm... would that really work?

>>19750502
yes.

>>19750502
no

>>19748839
>Fontina
This is the one I wound up getting, thanks again, anon. For some reason I completely missed that you said "Asagio" this morning. I told the guy at the store I was looking for a completely different A name cheese, I don't even remember what I said or where it came from. He looked up whatever I said and told me it was a Brie cheese. But whatever it was, it wasn't Asagio. I'm so fucking tired.

>>19750032
psyop to let all boards fall under commie tranny control.
fuck that gay shit.

>>19748616
Look for one pot pastas. You can just take all the components of a lasagna/baked ziti and throw them into a single pot. It's not as good as baked, but it's still pretty good.

I've already figured out in my head how to do this but I shan't be sharing because you're a useless lazy cunt.

>>19750912
what the hell

>>19748746
are you a retard?

make a mornay (cheese) sauce, add it to cooked pasta.

if you can't even manage something that easy, you should fuck off to fast food threads and give up on cooking because you don't have the IQ for it

the fact that you seized on the guy that said you needed fontina is icing on your retard cake. you can make a fucking cheese sauce with basically any combination of cheese.

>>19751520
>are you a retard?
yeah

>>19750502
yeah
you'll have to adjust the liquid needed
don't use too much pasta, 8oz of dry pasta is enough for a pretty hefty amount of sauce
you'll probably need to cook the pasta longer than you think to get it fully hydrated

>>19748616
hamburger helper lasagna

>>19752834
Jesus...

>>19748616
You can make ziti and lasagna on the stove top, you know. Meatsauce is cooked and pasta is boiled beforehand anyways. Just assemble your shit in a pot and let it cook.

You'll just miss out on a crusty cheese top.

>>19748703
>Doesn't want the best part
Why?

>>19754373

>>19754407
Cause that's not what I'm trying to do here.

>>19754432
What are you trying to do, be retarded?

Assemble everything exactly like you would for baked ziti prior to baking it, then microwave it.

>>19751840
You want to mix equal parts of bleach and vinegar. Heat it up and dissolve some cheese in it. 50ml each will allow you to dissolve around 400g of cheese resulting in a super stable cheesy sauce that you can mix with your pasta.

>>19748616
>except not baked and you make it on a stovetop
its called spaghetti
