No, there is not a mistake in this recipe. The pasta actually bakes without being boiled first. Be generous with your seasonings and garlic, as baking reduces their pungency. You can make several bathes of this crowd pleaser and reheat it, but don’t try double the recipe in one pan.Marlene Sorosky’s Year Round Holiday Cookbook

You can make several batches of this crowd pleaser and reheat it, but don't try doubling the recipe in one pan. I've made this many times, and it really is a crowd pleaser.
