ALANS EASY TIMPANA PIE (Timpana can be found in Malta in many cafes, snack bars and restaraunts, I think it originated in Sicily) You need 1 family size or 2 individual packs of fresh (not frozen) PENNE BOLOGNESE BAKE ready meals from Sainsburys or any supermarket (depending on how many people are going to enjoy the Timpana Pie) 1 packet of fresh JUSROL or other brand Puff pastry. 1 Pie Dish Method Get the pastry out of the fridge and stand for at least 20 minutes, then roll out on a floured surface. (Pastry sheets are even easier) Turn the pie dish over and stand it upside down on the sheet of rolled puff pastry, cut around the shape of the lid, keep the lid shape for later. Use the rest of the rolled pastry to line the inside of the pie dish, any left over pastry can be used to decorate to lid. Cook the Penne Bolognese Bake in your microwave as instructed on the packet and when cooked, leave aside for about 20 minutes to cool down (This allows to pasta filling to become the correct consistancy) Fill the pie dish with the pre cooked penne bolognese, add seasoning to taste. Place the pre shaped pastry lid on top of the pie, decorate the lid as required, crimp around the edges with a fork, make some ventilation holes in the pie lid. Brush the top of the pie with some milk. Place the pie on a baking tray in the centre of a pre heated oven at 190c or 375f or Gas mark 5 for approx 25 minutes or until the lid is golden brown. Serve and enjoy. I made one today for Lunch and my Wife, Wendy gave it 10 out of 10. (In my opinion, the Sainsburys fresh PENNE BOLOGNESE BAKE ready meal is the best)
