Pasta, sausage and cheese– what's not to like? A great way to get in veg too. Leftovers can be frozen or kept in the fridge and eaten cold the next day for lunch!

Steps

30 minutes

1

Set Oven to 200ºC fan. Place 6 whole sausage on a baking tray and cook for 20 minutes. When done, leave to cool on the side.
2

Cook pasta for about 10 minutes while making sauce and veg.
3

Add garlic to a medium heat pan with olive oil and a bit of salt. Cook for 1 min before adding oregano and other chopped veg. Cook for a further 2 mins.
4

Add tin of tomatoes and paste/ketchup and turn down the heat a notch. Let sauce simmer gently to evaporate some of the water content. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5

Chop cooled sausage and add to the pan. Then add cream cheese and a spoonful of pasta water for starch (this will help the pasta bake hold it's shape)
6

Once sauce has a relatively thick consistency, drain the pasta and mix together with the sauce. Transfer to a deep baking tray and sprinkle grated cheese and chopped beef/salad tomato on top. You can also add a bit of oregano, pepper or basil on top as well.
7

Bake at 170ºC fan for 8-10 mins till cheese is melted with nice golden brown tips (you'll see what I mean!) Leave to cool for 10 minutes before eating.
