Stanley Tucci’s 6-Ingredient Pasta Casserole Is So Good He Eats It for Breakfast - Yahoo Life

Tell me if you’ve experienced this: you try to get ahead of your day by making your dinner in the morning. Your plan is to cook the meal now, then reheat it later so dinnertime runs smoothly. But, the dish comes out of the oven looking and smelling so good that you want to eat it right away. Do you eat it now for breakfast or save it for later? Stanley Tucci would say eat it immediately.

“Oh my god, and what time is it? It’s only 10 o’clock in the morning and I think I’m going to have it right now,” he said in a recent video.

He was talking about his six-ingredient pancetta- and pea-pasta casserole that he had just made.

“Breakfast, brunch, or lunch? Not sure but it was f’ing delicious,” the caption reads.

In the recently posted video, Tucci proudly showed off his creation that started with leftover farfalle pasta. He said he added the leftover pasta, sautéed onions, garlic, pancetta, and peas to a leftover béchamel sauce in a casserole dish. Then, he dotted the pasta with butter and topped it with grated Parmesan cheese before baking it until it was golden brown.

I was immediately salivating when I saw the casserole, so I knew I had to recreate it—also at 10 a.m. for the full effect. However, I did go against the notion of the leftovers mainly because I don’t always have pancetta on hand—I’m not Stanley Tucci after all—though next time I’d save myself a trip and just use regular bacon. I also made my own béchamel sauce, which didn’t take too long, but in a pinch, you could throw in a jar of your favorite creamy sauce.

Despite the fact that it’s loaded with creamy sauce and butter, this pasta is pretty light and would make a great spring dinner. I do recommend adding the optional butter and cheese at the end if you want a richer, cheesier taste.

No matter what, however, this pasta casserole is, indeed, f’ing delicious.
