In this preparation, after cooking the tagliatelle and the savoy cabbage and salami sauce, everything can be transferred to a baking dish and sprinkled with a generous handful of breadcrumbs and grated cheese. Baking at 180°C for about 20 minutes will yield a golden and crispy crust that enriches the dish with flavors. This cooking method not only enhances the ingredients but also adds a new texture, making the dish even more appetizing and ideal for a family dinner or with friends. Try this variation to surprise your guests with a dish that combines tradition and innovation.

Before consuming, you can defrost in the refrigerator for a few hours and then reheat in a pan with a drizzle of oil or in the microwave. This way, you can enjoy a delicious dish even after some time, without compromising on taste.
