Then, cook the pasta "al dente", cool it down in cold water and dress with tomato sauce, grated cheese and one/two beaten eggs. Place the pasta into a big baking tray or into individual small ones.

When ready, take the "timballi" out of the trays and if necessary place again upsidedown in the oven under the grill for a couple of minutes.
