Gigant pasta bake

[fedda]

Hi, I've got Giant pasta penne type and I'm looking for some suggestions. I thought of stuffing it with minced meat but I'm not sure how. Do I need to pre-cook pasta first? Any other filling suggestions? Did anyone try to cook it? Ta very much.

Any ideas?

like cannaloni(sp?) tubes?

They are like very big pasta penne.

you can use them to make canneloni, so fill them with like a bolognese, lay them in a dish, top with a white sauce and cook in the oven. Or fill with spinach and ricotta and again top with a white or cheese sauce and bake in the oven. I wouldnt worry about boiling them first as they will probably collapse and you wont be able to fill them.

these?

Yes, very similar. Shouldn't I boil them for 6 minutes, cool and then fill or you think they'll be no good? I like your recipy.

i would boil one or 2 first, dont want them to collapse and not be able to fill them.

What a good idea! Thank you.
