Pasta bake

Ok this is totally random but I felt really proud and so wanted to share.

I made a pasta bake for the first time ever and it was pretty amazing if I do say so myself.

Inspired/copied off my friend R's packed lunch:

Ingredients:

Pasta(!)

Pasta sauce (dolmio's spicy pepperoni)

onions, garlic, salt and pepper

garlic sausage and normal ham

spinach, mushrooms, yellow pepper

cheese and fake breadcrumbs

What I did:

  • Cooked the pasta (boiled in water ya'll!)
  • olive oil in a frying pan. onions and garlic. sizzle my bizzle.
  • add the mushrooms and yellow peppers (I cut all my stuff small and square)
  • fried it off
  • once 'done', added sausage (ready cooked) and ham
  • seasoning!
  • Once pasta was cooked I added in a whole bag of spinach into the pot and within a few minutes the spinach was done
  • I then drained the pasta/spinach pot
  • I then chucked the pasta and spinach into the sausage mix
  • Stir, stir, stir
  • Season if necessary.
  • Pre heat oven.
  • Put half (or a bit) of the food in your oven dish
  • Sprinkle with cheese and stir
  • Put the other half in the dish
  • Sprinkle with cheese and stir
  • (that was enough for me, you can keep going if you have a massive oven dish)
  • Sprinkle the top with cheese
  • Sprinkle the cheese top with breadcrumbs
  • (And I then sprinkle a bit more black pepper on the breadcrumbs)
  • Put in oven
  • I left it in the oven for.....I think 15-20 mins which was fine. I can't tell you the temp, I always just guess.
A great dish - easy (I did it!) and you can add any veggies you have in your fridge and if you are less of a pig then me, you can go easy on the cheese (or add none) and it's a pretty decent meal.

Let me know if you give this a try. And let me know if you have any other easy food things I can try.
