RECIPE TIPS
PASTA

Tubular pasta works best in bakes. Instead of rigatoni, you could use penne or macaroni instead.

This page is far to spam heavy. Trying to print the recipe is horrendous! It wants to print across 8 pages. Come on BBC Good Food, stop being so spammy!!!

Great pasta bake recipe. Easy to adapt to whatever you have in fridge/cupboard. Just made with tinned salmon and cheese left over from Christmas. Had half a jar of roasted peppers so chopped and slung those in. I also reduce pasta to 350g as find 600g too much.

I made it with some home made chicken soup instead of sauce, which makes it free on Slimming World. I used the HE cheese amount for 6 portions, too.

question

Can the pasta bake be prepared and cooked later in the day ?
