Pasta Bake

This is easy and hearty and can be varied almost endlessly.

 

Ingredients:

about 200 g pasta (penne or spirals)

water

frozen vegetables (corn and peas are great)

1 onion or shallot

10-15 olives

1 block tofu (or, if you eat fish, 1 tin of tuna and/or 1 package of smoked salmon)

cheese sauce (I love Vegusto’s No-Moo Sauce, but you can make your own vegan or vegetarian cheese sauce)

black pepper

olive oil

 

Instructions:

1. Boil the pasta in the water. When it is about 2-3 minutes from being done, add the vegetables.

2. Dice the onion or shallot and chop the olives.

3. Drain the noodles and veg and in a big bowl, mix it with the onion or shallot, olives, and tofu or fish.

4. Add the cheese sauce and season with black pepper. Mix thoroughly.

5. Lightly oil an oven-safe dish. Pour in the noodle mixture.

6. Bake at 180 C for 20-30 minutes, stirring once or twice partway through.
