Pasta Bake Ideas

[Soontobeslinkylisa]

Morning Everyone,

My boyfriend has decided that he would like a pasta bake for dinner, having looked at the Homepride sauce I would normally do I was horrified at how many syns are in the jar, does anyone have any good receipe ideas for pasta bakes?

Thank you xx

i usually just fry off some onions, red pepper, yellow pepper, courgette, add some passata or chopped tomatoes, splash of worcester sauce and some chillii flakes to give it a bit of a kick, add the pasta and then top with HexA of cheese xx

I'd do the same - I tend to use pasta bakes as a way to use up any leftovers I have!! So chuck in ham/bacon/chicken if you're doing EE. Plus I chuck in any leftover veggies including carrots, celery, peas, green beans etc and a tin of haricot beans or chickpeas.

Then just make up the sauce with passatta like emma-louise and a bit of stock if it seems too dry.

Check out the mediterranean pasta bake on this thread. I come back to it time and again.

My sister's recipe consists of lots of roasted vegetables (courgettes, peppers, squash, aubergines, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, anything you like, really), mixed with a couple of tubs of Quark, some Boursin Light (you will need to syn this), seasoning, cooked fusili pasta (twists), all mixed together and cooked in a large dish (the sort you would cook lasagne in) with cheese on the top, until it is brown and crispy on top.

Yum!!
