This has really become my go-to pasta bake basic recipe.
Made it again tonight – so good!
Partner had THIRDS! (Which never happens!)
What I like so much about it is that we usually have everything required in the fridge or pantry – AND it’s so forgiving in terms of quantities if you’re a bit under or a bit over – AND it’ll happily absorb leftovers or other bits and pieces that need using up…
Tonight was leftover chicken from a roast the other night – just cubed and added with the cooked bacon. Wasn’t quite as much as the recipe called for – so upped the bacon rasher quotient a little. Added a diced zucchini that needed to be used when adding the passata. Also more baby spinach than specified to use up what we had – and plonked in a bunch of cherry tomatoes that likewise were almost at the end of their fridge life (we didn’t have any full size tomatoes to hand!)
Superb!
Only complaint is that I thought there’d be a bunch of leftovers for lunch tomorrow –
There are not 🙁

I was thinking of using your poaching method on my chicken breasts and then putting it in the pasta bake, would that work well do you reckon? Thanks for all your amazing recipes, I love them all
