Roast Vegetable Pasta Bake Recipe
I recently threw together this quick roast vegetable pasta bake in an attempt to use up as much veg in my fridge as possible, before I went on holiday.
Granted, it wasn’t my finest work – I should have undercooked the pasta slightly so that it didn’t overcook when I baked it. Ah, hindsight is a wonderful thing!
I’ve written up the recipe below, but you can switch up the veg to anything you have in the fridge and adjust the measurements to your liking. This is just a guideline of how I made my roast vegetable pasta bake, and I can guarantee I’ll make it completely differently next time. It’s just how I roll!
Now before I get into the recipe, I should tell you that I don’t weigh and measure cheese (or anything else as for that matter) – sorry slimming worlders, it’s just the type of cook I am. I’m terrible at following recipes, always ‘chuck things into the pan and hope for the best’ and I don’t even own kitchen scales.
I can hear you gasping!
I know that I don’t use my Healthy Extra A allowance on a weekly basis. I have 2-3 coffees a day on average with a dash of oat milk. Nowhere near my allowance. If I buy a coffee out, it’s an Americano or a flat white, and even then, the milk is minimal. As for cheese, this isn’t something I eat daily – maybe around 3 times a week. So in my mind, it all averages out.
I know this isn’t the ‘proper’ way of doing things, it’s just what I find sustainable and it works for me. Having to weigh everything would make this journey feel like a ‘diet’ and that’s just not something I would find sustainable.
