In a pan, make a base with a little oil and fry the garlic, add the artichokes, season with salt, add a ladle of hot water, cover and cook over medium heat until they become soft. Cut the eggs and the sliced mozzarella. Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water and drain it al dente, I cooked it for about 2/3 of the time reported on the package. Dissolve the saffron in a little cooking water, drain the pasta and dress it with a knob of butter, saffron and a spoonful of pecorino cheese and add 2/3 of the lamb ragout. Grease a pan with a little butter, make a first layer with half of the ziti, overlap half the mozzarella, half the artichokes, the eggs, the remaining artichokes and the remaining mozzarella, close with the rest of the pasta, finish with the sauce of lamb, other pecorino cheese and some curls of butter on the surface.
