My easy pasta bake

A super easy and delicious homemade pasta recipe

There's nothing like a homemade dish, the ingredients may be healthier and you know exactly what is going in, it is even said that eating home cooked meals for 5 days may even give you a longer life-win win!

Pasta is a great option as it is fat free and a good source of fiber. If I want to get some more veggies in me then I will add random veggies that I have in the fridge like peppers or carrots (my friend thinks i'm nuts for adding carrots in) but if you cut them finely you wont even notice! it's a flexible recipe so you can add whatever you like to it.
