I had left over ricotta cheese mixture, manicotti, and cooked meatballs but hate repeating meals so I improvised. When we lived in San Diego, Sean and I used to eat at a place called Lotsa Pasta, besides the best Broccoli Slaw I've ever had, they served the Timpano.
It is from the movie (The Big Night) which I have never seen, but it is basically layers of pasta in a pastry shell, baked in a bowl. Well this is the poor man's quickie version.
POORMAN'S TIMPANO
Ingredients: Yesterdays ricotta mixture, the rest of the manicotti, about 15 meatballs, shredded cheese, 1 jar pasta sauce, 1 can biscuit dough
