Ingredients for Sausage Pasta Bake:
- 400 g pasta.
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes.
- olive oil.
- 1-2 tsp tomato paste or Ketchup.
- As much chopped veg as you like! (I used mangetout).
- 2 cloves garlic bruised and chopped.
- 1 tsp dried oregano (or 2 sprigs fresh).
- 200 g cream cheese.
- 6 sausages.
- 120 g grated cheddar.
- 1 beef or big salad tomato.
Step by step how to cook Sausage Pasta Bake:
- Set Oven to 200ºC fan. Place 6 whole sausage on a baking tray and cook for 20 minutes. When done, leave to cool on the side..
- Cook pasta for about 10 minutes while making sauce and veg..
- Add garlic to a medium heat pan with olive oil and a bit of salt. Cook for 1 min before adding oregano and other chopped veg. Cook for a further 2 mins..
- Add tin of tomatoes and paste/ketchup and turn down the heat a notch. Let sauce simmer gently to evaporate some of the water content. Season with salt and pepper to taste..
- Chop cooled sausage and add to the pan. Then add cream cheese and a spoonful of pasta water for starch (this will help the pasta bake hold it's shape).
- Once sauce has a relatively thick consistency, drain the pasta and mix together with the sauce. Transfer to a deep baking tray and sprinkle grated cheese and chopped beef/salad tomato on top. You can also add a bit of oregano, pepper or basil on top as well..
- Bake at 170ºC fan for 8-10 mins till cheese is melted with nice golden brown tips (you'll see what I mean!) Leave to cool for 10 minutes before eating..
