Best Ever Foods For Friends Baked Pasta
Oh, pasta, you perfect thing, we love you! Both Mr.Boyfriend and I can eat pasta in incredible, horrifying amounts. But what I can say, it's just too good and there is nothing not to love!
Now, about this baked pasta. It's good, it's very very good. And easy to prepare. And if you feel lazy - you can probably get away with skipping the baking part. But you should definitely try and overcome your laziness and do bake it. Because this is when all of the cheese comes into the picture and we all love cheese very very much, don't we. That's why we are friends!
Ingredients (makes 4 portions):
- 400 pasta penne, boiled and drained

- In a large baking tin spread the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and pour the boiled pasta.
- Next pour the sauce and a cup of the grated cheese. Mix everything together.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the paste and the sauce start seem individable one from another.
