As part of my 52 new recipes challenge, Cheesy pasta bake has become a firm favourite - it has been so popular at home that I have made a few times.
I only just realised that I'd not posted about it when I went to find the recipe on my recipe page and it was not there! So - to remedy that, I thought I would use it for 'Delicious'.
No photos I am afraid - scoffed too quickly and who wants to see a picture of a pile of used plates soaking in the sink 😁
So - here are the details, as ever I made a couple of changes. The recipe says to layer breadcrumbs at the bottom of the baking dish - I did this initially and found that they absorbed all the sauce then stuck to the dish. So now I just put crumbs or small cubes of bread and grated cheese as the final layer before putting into the oven. Delicious!
Will I do it again? Oh yes, have done already and Youngest and GF have a copy of the recipe and have made it successfully too.
Any alterations? Only the breadcrumbs and the addition of slices of bell pepper and mushrooms.
Link? Cheesy Pasta Bake
Sounds so yummy & we too love pasta bakes & I quite often add some veg. It may be some cauliflower or silver beet, but anything would do. Thanks for our hunts & I think my link worked after I somehow linked to an earlier post, but sorted it I hope. Take care & hugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan, yes your link does work :) We like and eat pasta too x
DeleteSounds absolutely delicious! I am very partial to pasta and definitely with pepper and mushrooms. I know for a fact Sr P wouldn't like it much if breadcrumbs were used as it would thicken it up too much for him. In my case taking into account your alterations I'd say "Yum!" keep well Amanda x
ReplyDeleteI thought it was much better minus the breadcrumbs so the little crouton style topping was - in my opinion - an improvement :) I hope you give it a try x
DeleteLooks like a good plate of real comfort food ... we love pasta bakes over here and are always looking for new variations 😃
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a give it a go recipe :D
DeleteYummy stuff; anything with cheese in it is a plus for me! I'll have a look at the recipe and I know I'll have to adapt it to ensure my carnivore does not grumble..... x
ReplyDeleteYour carnivore will certainly like it - we some times add quorn 'chicken' and our youngest raving carnivore loves it :)
DeleteThis sounds delicious. Real comfort food. X
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely both tasty and comforting!

You know me, love cheese and love pasta, but you know B....he is not so keen. But I intend to try it next time I manage to persuade him we need to have a pasta dish again!!! Can always put in some chopped ham perhaps. 🧡 xx
ReplyDeleteYour cheesy pasta bake sounds really good, a shame you didn't have your own photo of it though :)
ReplyDeleteOoh that looks lovely - will definitely give it a try - and great to get a link to a good veggie recipe source.
