Here is one of my top pasta bake recipes at the moment! It is incredibly tasty and simple to prepare. This dish is designed to serve approximately 4-6 people, and it is equally enjoyable as a leftover lunch the following day.






Ingredients you will need:

  • 400g macaroni/spiral pasta, or any pasta of your choice really!

  • 1 red onion (diced)

  • 1 tin black beans (drained)

  • 1 tin lentils (drained)

  • 1 tin sweetcorn (drained)

  • 1 tin chopped tomatoes

  • 30g Mexican taco spice or any Mexican spice will do

  • Around 100g cheddar cheese to grate on top (can use vegan cheese to make the dish vegan!)

  • Coriander to serve on top


Method

  1. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.

  2. While the pasta is cooking, add some olive oil to a saucepan and cook the red onion for 2-3 minutes on medium heat.

  3. Once softened, add the drained black beans, lentils, and sweetcorn to the saucepan.

  4. Mix in the chopped tomatoes and Mexican spice to the saucepan and leave to cook on medium-to-low heat for 5 minutes.

  5. Once both the saucepan mixture and pasta are cooked, combine both in a large oven dish and mix well.

  6. Sprinkle the grated cheese over and cook in the oven for 20 minutes.


Serve the dish wish a sprinkle of chopped coriander and tuck in. Now, how easy was that!
