I really am going to shame myself here, and I considered name changing, but I need help to up my ante.

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

and

I luff Homepride Parsta Bake Sauces.

Please, please tell me how to make somehing similar from real ingredients, so my gulit will be eased.

I'm thinking tomatoes and marscapone maybe as a strating position.

Help me out.

SNF - cheat? How? Anyone can make a white sauce, anyone!

And what's wrong with your GULIT? Is it the Homepride Sauces what's uneased it?

that is why I like the fresh tubs on the supermarket bella

My white sauces usually end up lumpy.

Yep, I think a tablespoon would make my catsbummouth apprear with the sheer drying power

White sauce is easy Bella!

Melt butter. Slowly whisk in flour until it makes a doughy ball.

Then start to add milk (veeeerrry slowly) and stir. It will take a while but it will become a thick liquid again. Keep adding some milk along with a bay leaf and cheese...voila...yum

SNF, you need to slow it down...they end up lumpy if you add milk too quickly

Val, yes I know how to make a white sauce! I am my mothers daughter!

Try putting in a little of the pasta water to the sauce mix to help it smooth.

I was just wondering how SNF could cheat when making a sauce from scratch is easy peasy.

I do use a tablespoon though, I just checked A level one!

Apols, Bella That was supposed to be to SNF...

S'alright tis late.

I was never shown how to make a white sauce- I had to learn about it from books.

Has Masterchef not taught you anything??? Tut tut..

SNF you could do this Delia one - it's so easy and absolutely foolproof.

Yeah, it is one of the more random ones to be taught SNF. But honestly, tiiiiny bits of milk at a time. Whatever you think is a small it, halve it, then stir that in. And then keep going!

Hoi!

The smaprika ref was to show you I do cook properlike.

Thank you to those with kind and normal suggestions. Now, can I just put these saices over raw parsta and bake the fecking thing?

Not over raw - parboiled, IME.

I love baked ziti with meatballs. So shoot me.

Oh and also if you make it with a white/cheese sauce it's nice to spread breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter on top, and if you make it with tomato sauce (a la baked ziti above) you should top with cheese, like you would with lasagna.

I make a hawiian pasta bake on our skint days it involves passata, onions, sweetcorn, tinned pineapple, ham, pasta & cheese!

Tyelp, that zit dish sounds lovely.

A little bit like a baked Jool's Pregnant Parsta.

Thanks for the link.

I used to make a pasta bake that was mincemeat, onion and peppers cooked then add 1 tin condensed tomato soup and a good dollop of cream cheese. Stir till all melted, mix in cooked pasta turn into baking dish and sprinkle top with breadcrumbs and parmesan. Bake till top is crispy.

Haven't made it for ages now DCs have grown up but it is gorgeous.
