On Dec 3, De Laurentiis posted a snapshot of the mouth-watering pasta to her page @thegiadzy, with everyone agreeing on one thing — holy moly, that pasta looks amazing. She posted it with the caption, “It’s not a @giadadelaurentiis holiday dinner without baked pasta, and this one is a winner: goat cheese, half-moons of delicata squash, and a golden brown panko topping. 🙌🙌🙌 Grab the #recipe in the profile link!”

De Laurentiis herself said for every holiday dinner, she always treats everyone to a baked pasta dish — and this may be our new go-to.

With a total cooking time of only an hour, this vegetarian baked pasta is something out of a dream. It only has three simple ingredients for the topping that give it that extra pow and texture.

As for the pasta itself, while there may be a bit more ingredients than one may be used to, it’s full of nothing but deliciousness. Some ingredients include goat cheese, mozzarella, shallots, red pepper flakes, and more.
