BAKED PASTA RECIPE
Ingredients:
2 servings of penne or your favourite pasta
2 servings of bolognese sauce
100g of shredded mozzarella cheese
water
salt
dried parsley flakes (optional)
bolognese sauce (around 6 servings):
1 tbsp olive oil
100 g streaky bacon, chopped
1 large onion, minced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
1 pack white mushrooms, diced
500 g minced beef
1 glass dry red wine
800 g canned or diced tomatoes
80 g tomato paste
400ml water
300ml milk
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp dried basil
salt and pepper, to taste
Method:
- In a pan, add oil and chopped bacon, lightly brown bacon.
- Add onions and carrots, fry for about on gentle heat, till they are soften.
- Add minced meat, red wine and fry for a moment. Then add in the mushrooms.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, simmer for 1 hour, season with salt and pepper.
- Cook pasta in a pot of boiling salted water, around 2 minutes less that timing stated on the packaging.
- Combine pasta with bolognese sauce, and put into oven safe dish, topped with shredded cheese.
- Bake in pre-heated oven of 200 degrees C for 10 minutes ot till cheese is nicely melted. Sprinkle on parsley flakes.
Notes:
- What I do is to cook a big batch of the bolognese sauce, and then pack into ziplock bag and freeze in 2 servings portion.
- You can also use your favourite ready pasta sauce to cook the baked pasta.
love this to the max! did you roll the bread out before cutting them? have not tried carrot cake before. wonder if my girls like the taste. they r fussy about new food.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did roll them flat. Hmmm, the carrot bread taste quite nice, can't really taste the carrot. Yup, same here, my boys too, esp the younger one. :(
DeleteThere is a Mc Donaldland?_? Well, have you made the carrot bread by yourself or can you buy it? I've never heard of it. The kitty is sooooooo~ nice! I wished we had this plushies here at McDonalds too.Maja
ReplyDeleteMaja, I think it's just a virtual land, not too sure whether there is really one. No, I bought the bread, no time to bake, hope to do some baking during the coming holidays. :)
