Ingredients
Scale
- 450 g (16 oz) bucatini pasta
- 240 g (2 cups) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 120 g (1 cup) grated Parmesan cheese
- 300 ml (1¼ cups) whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add bucatini pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked bucatini with mozzarella, Parmesan, whole milk, and eggs. Mix well until the pasta is evenly coated.
- Place the skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Allow the oil to heat for about 2 minutes.

- Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Be cautious not to overcook the bucatini for the best texture. You can prepare the pasta mixture a day in advance.
