Pasta Bake - Tuesday Quick Recipe

Pasta Bake – Tuesday Quick Recipe

As it’s Tuesday, today I’m sharing my quick recipe for pasta bake. I don’t cook the sauce from scratch, sorry to disappoint, I use Dolmio Creamy Tomato Pasta Bake sauce.

This recipe is so simple, all it has are 4 ingredients:

Dolmio pasta bake sauce (500g jar), Sainsbury's Basic mozarella cheese — Dolmio pasta bake sauce (500g jar) and mozarella cheese, enough to sprinkle on the top before putting the dishes in the oven

Dried Fusilli pasta – it says a specific amount in grams on the jar of pasta to use but I fill both my small oven dishes with dried pasta so they are level and us that amount (never weighed it so I’m not sure how much it is, roughly 4 heavy handfuls though)

Equipment

My oven dish – I use 2, I purchased these from Poundland

Serving spoon

Method:

First, I cooked my pasta (I like to use Fusilli pasta, but you can use any type);
Then I drained it and split the pasta between the 2 oven dishes I like using;
I poured over the Dolmio pasta bake sauce, I gave it a good stir so it covered all the pasta;
Then I sprinkle from Mozarella chesse on top (I always use Mozarella as it melts better in the oven);
Cook at 200ºC/400ºF for 15 minutes;
I removed them from the oven, stirred well and then put them back in for a further 5 minutes;
I added the garlic bread to the oven at the same time;
I then removed the garlic bread once pasta was done (5 minutes).
I then plated up, served and enjoyed it.

We always use bowls when we have pasta to avoid things falling off the plate or landing on the floor.
