How to Make a Greek Pasta Bake

One Pot Vegetarian Chilli Mac

tomato soup or passata ((~ 2 cups))

tbsp oil

onions

g peppers

mild red chilli, (finely chopped)

mushrooms, (diced)

kidney beans

tsp smoked paprika

tsp mild chilli powder ((more

tsp cumin

Salt

Black pepper

150 ml water ((~ 1/2 cup))

pasta

To garnish: fresh coriander ((cilantro), chopped spring onions)

If using Iceland’s frozen tomato soup, put it in the microwave for around 10 minutes to defrost.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions, peppers, finely chopped chilli, and diced mushrooms. Cook over a medium heat for a few minutes, until the vegetables are fairly soft.

Add the kidney beans and spices, and season well. Next add the tomato soup, water, and raw pasta. Mix well, and bring to a simmer. Cook over a medium-low heat for around 15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the pasta is cooked. Add another dash of water if you need to.

When the pasta is ready, add about half of the grated cheese, and mix to combine. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and cook over a low heat until the cheese melts (place it under a grill / broiler if you prefer).

Serve hot, preferably with fresh coriander (cilantro) and chopped spring onions.

kosher salt (divided)

black pepper (divided)

dry penne pasta (or pasta of choice)

kale

tomatoes

milk cottage cheese (I use Good Culture brand)

mozzarella cheese, torn

sage leaves

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place squash and garlic cloves in a 9x13-inch baking dish; toss with 2 Tbsp. oil, and 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper. Bake for 40 minutes, tossing once halfway through. Using the prongs of a fork, firmly press on garlic cloves to push roasted garlic out of skin. Lightly mash with fork.

Cook pasta in boiling, salted water for 2 minutes LESS than package instructions, until very al dente. During final minute, stir in kale. Drain pasta and kale, and return to pot. Add tomatoes, cottage cheese, butternut squash and garlic, and remaining 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper; stir to combine.

Pour pasta mixture into the baking dish used to roast the squash. Scatter torn mozzarella cheese overtop.

Rub sage leaves with remaining 1/2 Tbsp oil and arrange on top of pasta. Bake for 20 minutes, or until mozzarella is fully melted. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan, if desired.
