I have been stagnated for a long time, as I didnt get inspiration nor pleasure out of my cooking. In that time I have tried to create something simple based on my own difficult taste. So finally I tried 'my pasta bake' , it was so gorgeous that I would recommend you to try it.
Penne pasta
Good tinted tomatoes
Black pitted olives
red chillie
One onion
Salt and pepper
Oregano
Put the pasta in a pot with water to boil (10 mins). Cut the onion, the chillie and put them in a small bowl. Add the olives, the tomatoes, salt and pepper, oregano and some grated chedar cheese. Mix with a wooden spoon. When the pasta is ready, put the pot lid on top of the pot half way, and pour out the water out (leave a bit of water in). Then throw into the pasta the mix, and give it a couple of stirs. Empty the ingedients into a medium sized tray.
Heat the oven at 250 degrees.
White sauce (or bechamel without the egg)
Butter
Plain flour
Milk
Melt the butter in a pot on low heat, throw the flour in and with a wooden spoon stir the roux. When the roux is getting a bit thick , put warmed milk in and stir quickly until it becomes a slightly thick white sauce. Add some nutmeg (a pinch or two) , stir and take it off the heat. Pour the sauce onto the pasta mix. Add a lot of cheddar on top.
Put the tray in the oven and let it cook for 15 mins. Take it out and put some (tiger type) of sliced bread, in pieces, on top of the pasta bake. Make sure you dont press the pieces too much into the bake. Put the tray in the oven for another 10 mins.
Take it out and let it rest for 10 mins. Serve as much as you like and enjoy with some white wine. (I omit the wine as I am not a drinker).
And voila, my pasta bake.
Cooking and improving recipies,has been my passion for decades now. I have decided to create this blog so more people can eat these as they are masterpieces of the original dish. They are all tried and adored in my dining room by friends and relatives, even my mother in law.The stories in this blog are out of my life and nothing in here is intended to make money. I would love your comments though as this is the ultimate reward I can receive in my effort to e-feed you!
