    fishlessman: Read your post on Friday about the Bread Bowl Pasta and was inspired (Linky for my post: HERE ). Mine didn't turn out nearly as good as I had imagined it would, but there is potential here for a great creation. As I said, "What's not to like? Fresh bread, pasta, cheese, tomato sauce, and sausage. All in one." My wife thought what I made was pretty good, but I think it paled by comparison to that work of art you created. Please give a detailed recipe if you don't mind. I want to try this again. Hopefully approaching something like the one you made.

    i used this as the sauce with a couple jalapenos halved in it, didnt add the shrimp to the sauce. i did add a little more white wine and a squirt of honey and some browned crumbled chourico sausage to it.

    layerd everything as shown with alot of sharp cheddar cheese on bottom and a little between the pasta and shrimp. cooked raised grid with fire bricks down below and a pizza stone raised above with the pie plate sitting on the pizza stone at 400 degrees. i think the seafood stuffing really kicked it up, our supermarket really makes a great seafood stuffing mix. the shrimp was still raw in the middle when i first took it off, raised the temps to about 650 and put it back in for a few. i used a whole dough ball from the supermarket and had enough pasta left over to have on the side but i never measured the ziti just tossed some in the boiling water ti; it looked like enough. i didnt have the bread bowl recipe with me when i went shopping so just picked up things that looked good to me

    Thanks, that helps. I was mainly curious about the dough and how much to use. That and how much pasta. I ended up eyeballing the pasta when I realized that there was no way 2 cups would fit. Also, that's a good idea for the setup for the cook. A lot of folks use a pizza stone on a plate setter w/ feet in between. I don't have a plate setter, but I got fire bricks and an adjustable rig. I should be able to get the same thing going. Still have half a ball of dough left, so I'm going to give a try again. Hopefully mine will turn out as sweet looking as that fra diavolo of yours!
