A delicious and tasy mid-week meal. Sourced from .au but I have used cheese sauce to bind it rather than their suggestion of 1 cup cream and 2 eggs beaten togetherTo me that sounded rather too rich and fat ladden. Ingredients:
300 g pasta shells |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
4 slices bacon, chopped |
1 onion, small and chopped |
350 g broccoli |
1 cup peas, frozen |
1 1/2 cups cheese sauce |
50 g cheese, grated for garnish |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 180C.
2. Cook pasta according to the directions on the packet. Drain and return to pan.
3. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the bacon and onion and cook until soft and lightly browned.
4. Break the broccoli into small florets. Cook the broccoli and peas in a steamer until tender.
5. Gently mix together the broccoli, bacon, onion, peas and cheese sauce. Spread into a 2 litre ovenproof dish . Sprinkle with cheese. Bake until golden. About 15 - 20 minutes.
6. Serve with mashed potatoes and a salad if desired.
