Method
I had Red Leicester in the fridge which is why the meal looks so orange! Cutting the bacon nice and small is essential for optimum bacon distribution and plenty of black pepper in the sauce for a bit of punch. This has comfort, cheese, bacon and seasonal purple sprouting broccoli and it comes in at less than £6 for four people. What more do you need in a meal?
Excellent timing! I harvested the first of my PSB today.
tho it is no where cold here, this dish would still make a very comforting meal for me 🙂
nice recipe and love all the budget recipes recently
This look so delicious and comforting, great recipe!
Simple meal yet wonderfully done up. Love the cheese layer on top.
A real comfort recipe. Love this.
Baked pasta dishes are so delicious! A great way to sneak in broccoli….:) ela
I don’t make many pasta bakes but I love them. The bacon and cheese in this make it really comforting and I use red leicester on this type of pasta too
It looks like lovely warming dish indeed!
yummy
This looks so delicious! So comforting and creamy. I’ve never seen purple sprouting broccoli here, but maybe it’s similar to broccolini?
I am always craving carbohydrates and this pasta bake sounds delicious!
This pasta bake looks good! Wish I could dig my fork into it!
This sounds like an amazing comforting meal! I’m always amazed at how resourceful your budget meals are!
