Salt and pepper?

I don't think you should use pepper or salt it does not give the right taste although cheese is perfecto!

SI equivalents?!

posted by Rob @ 07:02AM, 8/14/08

It would be convenient if you could put equivalent SI units, may be, in brackets for those who aren't conversant with the imperial ones!

Brilliant

I cooked this for my local slimming world class, but adjusted slightly to suit diet. It went down a treat. Everyone loved it.

Try blending the tomatoes, garlic with a little chille powder before adding it to the onions. then top with blue cheese and mozzarella, red onion and mushroom! BEAUTIFUL!

PASTA IS SO SIMPLE

posted by EASY AS PIE!! @ 07:19AM, 12/13/08

Really easy and brill recipe cooked it without any misunderstanding easy recipe to follow and understand didn't find it confusing at all. Although i did add some spices to bring out the flavour. The cheese gave it a wicked appearance and the texture was absoulty divine. Any one can cook this and add additional ingredients. I added vegetables which gaves the dish wonderful sensory characteristics everyone loved it!!

ITS SO EASY!!

Simple as that basically.. just use as much garlic as you want and as much cheese as you want, it will go down nicely! just depending on how much your group like garlic!!! Everyone loved this.

Great recipe

This is a great recipe and is one of the easiest iv found to follow yet! looking at everybody elses comments im realy looking forward to cooking it myself :)

YUM!

posted by Cmomo @ 04:23PM, 2/08/09

Its ok to use garlic puree! I put the tomatoes into a pot with the diced onions, heated for 5 mins, added garlic puree and tomatoe puree, stirred in then added 2 handfulls of grated cheddar. Stirred till it was a sauce then added/mixed with the pasta in the baking dish. I then added some more grated cheese over the top then covered in grated white bread which goes golden brown and crunchy on the top! Yum!

Sausages

posted by FarmerB @ 04:40PM, 4/27/09

Grill some nice sausages, slice them into little thin discs - dump them into the tomato/pasta mix before bunging it in the oven. Mmmmmm!

Perfecto !

I MADE PASTA BAKE WITHOUT USING A JAR!

posted by Ian S.W @ 04:31PM, 5/13/09

I made the dish purely because i was bored, it took me a while because i'm a typical guy i guess lol. It looked really nice, only problem i thought was the fact that it seemed a bit heavy and fatty with all the cheese. Good recipe and tasted really nice, well done!

Try this

posted by i <3 cooking @ 05:43PM, 5/31/09

Try sprinkling crushed doritoes mixed with grted cheese on top of it before u bake it...yummy :)

How much garlic???

posted by Molly @ 12:16PM, 9/12/09

Help, How much garlic do I put on this???? :/

Garlic...

posted by marco @ 11:20AM, 1/01/10

You don't even need any garlic... The onions are enough to give flavour, if you were italian you wouldn't use both at once, try adding a couple of bay leaves to the sauce also

Yes you dont need garlic but you can put it in
you normally need around 1 clove of garlic

Great!!!

My daughter really fancied pasta bake, so I got her to search for a recipe, she found this brilliant recipe for me to cook for her and extremely fussy eating friend; they both loved it, and so did I !
Cheers

Trust your instincts while adding garlic...

Try this!

posted by Bina @ 08:29AM, 8/11/10

Add some fresh finely chopped basil leaves and finely chopped garlic to the tomatoe sauce/puree and let it simmer for a few mins. You will notice the difference in the taste.
