Timballo is an Italian baked dish consisting of pasta, rice or potatoes, with one or more other ingredients (cheese, meat, fish, vegetables, or fruit) included.

[1] Varieties of timballo differ from region to region, and it is sometimes known as a bomba, tortino, sartù (a type of Neapolitan timballo with rice and tomato sauce) or pasticcio (which is used more commonly to refer to a similar dish baked in a pastry crust).

[1] Rice is commonly used as an ingredient in Emilia-Romagna, where the dish is referred to as a bomba and baked with a filling of pigeon or other game bird, peas, local cheese and a base of dried pasta.

[1][5] Timballo featured prominently in the 1996 film Big Night, although the dish there is referred to as timpano (a regional or family term).

[1][6][7] In December 2020, The Washington Post reported that making timpano is a Christmas tradition in Anthony Fauci's household.
