Hey guys. Hope your weekend's off to a great start? Here's a recipe for one of my favourite, easy to make, great tasting dishes that only takes a few minutes to put together if you're having friends or family over! What's also great about it is that you can store it in the freezer and reheat later and it will still taste just as yummy!
Pasta Bake
Ingredients
500g dried penne
Tomato based pasta sauce
4 grilled sausages
2 rashers bacon
Sprinkle of cheddar and parmesan cheese
Serves 4
Method
1. Start grilling sausages according to instructions on packet. When they're half brown, start grilling or frying the bacon.
2. When the sausages and bacon are nearly cooked, start boiling the pasta according to the instructions on the packet. Do this in salted boiling water. Salt the pasta lightly because sausages and bacon tend to be salty.
3. Chop sausages and bacon into pieces while the pasta is boiling.
4. When the pasta is cooked to the desired taste, drain.
5. While the pasta is draining, heat up your pasta sauce in a pan and add some pepper (freshly grounded black pepper will do, but if in need of a stronger taste, habanero sauce will work, but go easy on the tastebuds!)
6. Heat the sauce until it simmers, then add your bacon and sausage and stir.
7. Add the drained pasta to the sauce and mix until the pasta is completely covered in the sauce.
8. Spread pasta mixture into a casserole dish and sprinkle with cheese and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes at 180 degrees celsius or until cheese has melted and browned.
Salad
For the salad, I use iceberg lettuce, cabbage and shredded carrots with some juicy, fresh cherry tomatoes.
I prefer my salads without dressing, but le husband prefers his with, so for this salad I recommend any light french dressing.
Enjoy!
