Leftovers pasta bake
Easy pasta bake which you could adapt from most leftovers. Here I have used leftovers from my 'Slow cooker pucker up pork' but even a Sunday roast could be incorporated. Pasta, leftovers, cheese sauce and topped off with breadcrumbs and baked. Serve with a crusty bread roll or garlic bread.
Spicy mince pasta bake
Easy and yummy pasta bake. Pasta with spicy beef mince, tomato, bacon and mushrooms topped with mozzarella cheese and breadcrumbs and then baked. Make ahead, and bake when ready for an easy meal. Serve on its own or with salad and garlic bread.
Chicken, leek and broccoli creamy pasta bake
Delicious and easy midweek meal. Chicken with broccoli, leek and pasta in a cream of chicken sauce made from Heinz soup. A firm family favourite in our household which is ecomonical to make. Easy to double up and prepare in advance. Heinz soup has many other uses than just what is says on the tin.

Lasagne made from scratch
Maybe not strictly authentic, this lasagne is made with a homemade meat sauce, and homemade white sauce. (Although sometimes I cheat and use a shop-bought white lasagne sauce.) Takes a bit of time to prepare but I think it's worth it. I hope you do too!

Chicken and chorizo pasta bake
Recipe by:
Simon Wraight
Not a recipe for people on a diet - chicken, sausage and penne pasta are baked in a creamy tomato sauce. I cook the meats, pasta and sauce all at the same time, but it can be done individually and refrigerated before baking it in the oven.

Healthiest-ever lasagne

Lasagne is everybody's favourite but it can be very high in fat, especially if shop-bought. This version includes plenty of fresh vegetables and lean minced steak in its scrumptious filling. Serve with a crisp green salad.
German Kaesespaetzle
Recipe by:
schokolinda
This is a Bavaria recipe for a cheesy pasta bake. Homemade spaetzle (small pasta twirls) are cooked in boiling water, then layered in a baking dish with grated cheese and fried onions.
THE Baked Pasta Dish
This is a rustic Spanish, spicy, mince based baked penne pasta dish which is perfect for a no-frills family supper. It has come about through trial and error in an attempt to replicate a dish that I ate in a Spanish farmhouse some 15 years ago. In our family it is simply called THE Pasta Dish. The sauce makes 5 portions and so it becomes economical and quick after you've cooked the batch of sauce.
