 1 package Colavita Bowtie Pasta
 12 ounces finely diced pancetta or bacon
 8 large eggs, at room temperature
 2 cups whole milk, at room temperature
 1 Tetra pack Colavita Organic Diced Tomatoes
 1 jar Colavita Sun-dried tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
 2 teaspoons kosher salt
 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
 2 cups shredded white Cheddar (8 ounces), divided
 2 cups shredded fontina (8 ounces), divided
 Colavita Olive Oil for greasing the pan
 ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1

Prepare the Colavita Bowties by cooking in a large pot of boiling salted water according to the package instructions. Drain and drizzle with 1 tbsp Colavita olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside until ready to use.

2

In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook the pancetta over medium-high heat until crispy, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pancetta and drain on paper towels.

3

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until smooth. Add the diced tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, salt and pepper.

4

Add the cooked pancetta, and the cooked pasta to the bowl. Mix well.

5

Fold in 1 ½ cups of each of the cheddar and fontina cheeses (the rest will be used for the top of the dish).

6

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Oil a 9-by-13-by-2-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with olive oil and set aside.

7

Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish.

8

Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

9

Bake until puffed and golden, 30 to 35 minutes.

Spoon onto plates, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.
