Oven Pasta


I know, too much pasta! But I’m so hungry and I was planning to go shopping on Sunday after the cinema and guess what Tesco closes at 4 PM! By the time, we got to Marks and Spencer, it was closed, it closes at 5 PM. I’m going to make a chicken dish someday once I go get some from the Pakistani shop which sells halal meat.

This one I made up as I went :P Taking everything out before it expires and putting it together, though the toast I used has expired days ago :P but if it’s in the fridge “ما يضره”.

As you see in the pictures I used one of the plates I got when I bought a ready meal and thought why waste it and throw it away when I can use it for future cooking since I don’t have that much cookware anyways, actually, I only have two, a small pan and a small pot :)

  • I semi-cooked the pasta, I wanted to use penne but all I have is spaghetti, and put it aside.
  • To make the sauce, I chopped portobello mushrooms and sautéed them in butter, added cream, two spoons of Philadelphia cheese and stirred on the heat.
  • On the silver oven plate, I placed some of the semi-cooked pasta, poured some of the sauce, sprinkled yellow cheddar cheese, another layer of pasta and poured the rest of the sauce and sprinked cheese.
  • I put one toast in the toaster on full power to make it brown and crispy, and then broke-up the toast with my hands and covered the pasta with toast crumbles and placed the dish in the oven for 10 minutes for the pasta to complete cooking.
  • I love rockets leaves, so I put some on top once the dish was out of the oven

This is a fast dish, though not fast enough sometimes :P It was TASTY, I like the yellow cheddar cheese in the pasta but after I was done, I got so thirsty, I kept drinking water, so this is kind of a warning :) I think by the time, I finish my time in UK, I’ll be allergic to pasta :P
