Simple Pasta Bake

Serves 2 and makes a great lunch the next day (invest in some tupperware!)

What you need:

  • 150g Pasta
  • 4 slices of bacon diced (could use 2 chicken or turkey breasts)
  • 2 tins of chopped tomatoes
  • Any mix of veg you like e.g. mixed veg, peas, carrots etc.
  • 2 Garlic Cloves finely cut
  • 1 Onion diced
  • Grated Cheese
  • 2 tsp mixed herbs

What you do:

  • Put the pasta in boiling water with a pinch of salt
  • Fry your onion and garlic in a large ovenproof dish until brown before adding your meat and frying until cooked
  • Add the two tins of chopped tomatoes, followed by the pasta (make sure it’s cooked and you drain it first!)
  • Add all your veg with a little salt & pepper (optional) followed by the herbs. Stir well and bring to the boil.
  • Let it simmer for 10 minutes. Preheat your oven to 180C and grate some cheese, you’ll need a lot! (Enough to cover all the pasta)
  • Take off the heat, stir well, then cover in cheese!
  • Pop into the oven for around 20 – 25 minutes (until the cheese is brown and bubbling)
