Stir in the prosciutto, cup of the fontina cheese, teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of white pepper. Set the cheese sauce aside.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost tender but still very firm, about 5 minutes (do not cook the pasta to doneness at this point, since it will continue cooking as it bakes in the oven). Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Stir in the cheese sauce and season the pasta mixture with more salt and pepper to taste.

Spoon the pasta mixture into the prepared dish, then sprinkle with the remaining cup of fontina cheese and dot the top with the b.u.t.ter. (The pasta can be prepared up to this point 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Uncover before baking.) Bake the pasta until the top is golden brown and the sauce bubbles, about 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

Leftover PASTA.

We've all been there: Without thinking, you just dump that whole pound of pasta into the boiling water. Once it's plumped up and drained, you realize that it's far more pasta than your appet.i.te can handle. Don't despair-and don't throw it away. Take a hint from the Italians, who are incredibly inventive when it comes to leftovers, and try the following recipes.

PIZZA DI SPAGHETTI.

TORTA DI PASTA.

The literal translation of torta di pasta torta di pasta is "cake made of pasta." What I particularly love about this recipe is that it makes for great finger food: All the ingredients bind together and can be cut up into easy little servings, and it can be served at room temperature. You probably won't want to tell your guests that you're serving them leftovers, and they'll never know the difference. is "cake made of pasta."
