Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. To make the dough: Place the flour on a wooden work surface, make a well in the top.
  2. Cut the lard or other fat into 1/4-inch pieces and place in the center of the well with the yolks, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a teaspoon of ice water.
  3. Mix well with the tips of your fingers to form a lumpy mass.
  4. Bring together as a dough and knead for 4-5 minutes.
  5. Wrap in plastic and set aside.
  6. Preheat oven to 375-degrees.
  7. Roll out pasta to a large circle 1/4-inch thick.
  8. Butter the metal bowl and dust thickly with the toasted bread crumbs.
  9. Line the buttered dish completely with the sheet of pasta, with a 1 1/2-inch edge overhang.
  10. Boil 6 quarts of water in a large pasta pot, then add 2 Tablespoons of salt.
  11. Cook the rigatoni/ziti in the boiling water, 3 minutes less than the package instructions state.
  12. Drain and refresh under cold running water, or an ice bath, until cold, 2-3 minutes.
  13. Toss with olive oil, and set aside.
  14. Mix half of the cooked rigatoni/ziti with 2 1/2 cups meat sauce and 1/2 cup of Parmiagiano, and set aside.
  15. Mix the remaining cooked rigatoni with half of the Besciamella, 1/4 cup of Parmigiano, the prosciutto, and nutmeg.
  16. (Cook's Note: I probably didn't add quite as much sauce as the recipe suggests, just added enough until it looked right.) Place this besciamella-sauced rigatoni/ziti into the bowl, and press lightly.
  17. Sprinkle with some of the grated Parmigiano, I added a good layer.
  18. Arrange the meatballs on top in an even layer, and press down again.
  19. Sprinkle with more Parmigiano.
  20. Spread the meat-sauced pasta over the meatballs and press down gently.
  21. Fold the extra pasta over the whole thing, and press gently to seal.
  22. Cover the open top with foil and bake for 1 hour 20 minutes.
  23. Remove from the oven, remove the foil, and invert onto a large serving platter, without removing the bowl.
  24. Allow to rest 10 minutes, then carefully loosen the pasta around the sides with a knife and knock with your knuckles to release the bowl.
  25. (Mine slid right out without a problem.) Serve immediately with the remaining shredded Parmigiano on the side, cutting the timpano into wedges to serve.
