  • Pasta Bake Recipe

    Pasta bake is a comforting dish that's perfect for a cosy family dinner or for feeding a crowd. To start, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Cook 300g of your favourite pasta, such as penne or fusilli, according to the packet instructions until al dente. While the pasta is cooking, prepare a simple tomato sauce by sautéing one chopped onion and a couple of cloves of minced garlic in a splash of olive oil until they're fragrant. Add a tin of chopped tomatoes, a sprinkle of Italian herbs, and season with salt and pepper.

    Once the pasta is cooked and drained, mix it with the tomato sauce in a large baking dish. For added creaminess, stir in 200g of cottage cheese or a dollop of sour cream. If you fancy a meaty twist, toss in some cooked minced beef or sausage. Top it all off with a generous handful of grated cheese—cheddar works a treat! Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling. Serve piping hot, and enjoy this delightful dish with a crisp side salad. It's a meal that warms both the heart and the belly!
