in #food7 years ago


Hi guys! This is my recipe for an easy pasta bake recipe that can be made in under an hour and eaten fresh after a long day at work!

Ingredients

1 Onion
2 Garlic Cloves
1 Pack Button Mushrooms (around 200g)
1 Pack Bacon Lardons (around 250g)
400g Tomatoes
500g Penne Pasta
Seasoning: Salt, Black Pepper, Mixed Herbs (or Oregano), Cayenne Pepper
Optional: Stock cube (ground and sprinkled directly into sauce); grated cheese for topping

Recipe

Set the over to 200 degrees Celsius. Roughly chop onions and garlic, and divide mushrooms into quarters.

Prepare penne pasta by boiling for 5 minutes

Blend the tomatoes for a few seconds until smooth

Fry the onions, garlic, and bacon together for 3-5 minutes until the onions begin to brown. Add in the mushrooms and fry for a further 3-5 minutes. Pour in the blended tomatoes. Simmer for 15 minutes, adding in the salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and mixed herbs.

Drain the pasta and stir into the tomato sauce. Pour the pasta into an ovenproof dish. Add the cheese topping (if opted for), and bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until brown and crispy on top.
