This pasta dish just looks amazing! You’ll need to “borrow” the cake pan for this high-carb recipe. Place the rigatoni upwards inside it, then fill and cover them with mildly hot tomato sauce. Finish it up by topping it with cheesy cheddar and mozzarella.

  5. Optionally, garnish it with chives before serving.
