to be repulsed by the words 'pasta bake'

[EleanoraBuntingCupcake]

and i actually retch at teh thought of tuna pasta bake.

I just call it a casserole.

I always make tuna bake from scratch. I didn't even know you could get it in a jar.

Dont like tuna pasta bake but meatball pasta bake is GORGEOUS.

YANBU. Yuk.

Very old thread....

I make pasta bake with mozarella and spicy choritzo. No tuna in sight, and I make the tomato sauce from scratch so it suits my taste.

YABU

chorizo not choritzo

Who cares if it's an old thread?some of the old ones are good.

Lloyd Grossman Pasta Alforno bake is fucking lovely so there

Meatball pasta bake sounds fantastic

I've taken some lovely ideas from this thread.

yuk at packet white sauce.

Well I made it tonight for my kids. Made my own cheese sauce, wholemeal pasta and tuna. They both enjoyed it so I will not complain! YABU - even if this thread is old.

I cook a vat of mince etc every monthish, I then divide it and add bits to make into chilli and bolognese dishes. So will make lasagne and freeze, then bolognese and freeze.

Some weeks I defrost for spag bol, other weeks I chuck into leftover pasta, heat in the oven, add cheese and make a pasta bake.

Don't really really see the difference tbh, just a different way of serving.

I use passatta and dried bay leaves in the sauce, also buy the pasta, don't know if the fresh basil, oregano, lentils and every vegetable know to man chopped up teeny tiny and thrown into the sauce can partially exonerate me?!

Half of us are vegie so actually make 2 vats!!

I know what you mean now by the stuffing a jar.I remember we tried it once. Horrible, stodgy and very salty. Yuk!
