Buona domenica, While lasagna is a staple in many kitchens, there is a more sophisticated version of baked pasta often reserved for elegant occasions: the Tagliatelle Pasta Pie, or Pasticcio di Tagliatelle. This dish is a true symbol of aristocratic dining, famously featured in the 1963 movie The Leopard. In the film, the Prince of Salina offers this spectacular "torreggiante timballo" to celebrate the solemnity of a grand dinner.
