Abstract: A microwavabel pasta pie (10) and pan (32) assembly, includes a shell (12) formed by grid-shaped walls (16) integrally formed within an outer wall (18) to thereby define a plurality of vertical, open through passages (14). The shell (12) is supported upon a pie plate (32) having a planar bottom (34) which closes the bottom face (20) of the shell (12) and of the passages (14). A filling (38) is located within and retained by the passages (14) and the pie plate (32), and a topping (40) such as powdered cheese is provided on the filling (38). The pasta pie (10) is frozen inside of a plastic bag (42). In the most preferred form, the pasta pie (10) is cooked in a microwave oven, with the pie plate (32) being disposable and utilized during microwave cooking as well as during serving and consumption.
