1 cup homemade red sauce or prepared tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Pinch of salt
3 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated (about 1 cup)

Cook the pasta in generously salted water according to the package directions until just shy of al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, red sauce, pepper, salt, and all but 1 tablespoon each of the mozzarella and Parmesan. Add the pasta and toss to coat evenly. Transfer to the prepared springform pan and sprinkle with the reserved cheeses.
