Angel Hair Pasta au Gratin

Source of Recipe


From "Bake Until Bubbly" by Clifford Wright



List of Ingredients



• 6 Tbsp (¾ stick) unsalted butter
  
• 1 pound angel hair pasta (capellini)
  
• 1 cup heavy cream
  
• 1 cup half-and-half
  
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  
• ¾ cup fresh bread crumbs
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Coat a 12x9x2-inch baking casserole with 2 tablespoons of butter.
   
   
2. Bring a large pot of abundantly salted water to a vigorous boil. Add the pasta and boil until it is about half-cooked, 2 to 3 minutes, then drain and transfer to a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and toss well to coat.
   
   
3. Arrange the pasta evenly in the casserole. Pour in the heavy cream and half-and-half, and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the top with bread crumbs and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Bake the pasta until the top is golden, about 30 minutes.
