Dinner in 30 minutes - too easy using the mince from sausages, some pasta and a little bit of prep and top with cheese. Incredibly easy.

Ingredients

  • 375g dried caserecce pasta
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 500g Italian-style pork and fennel sausages, casing removed
  • 200g Swiss brown mushrooms, quartered
  • ¼ - ½ tsp. dried chilli flakes
  • 2 x 420g jars tomato-based pasta sauce
  • 150g (1⅔ cups) Perfect Italiano™ Perfect Bakes cheese
  • 60g baby rocket leaves
  • 200g grape tomatoes, sliced


Method

  1. Preheat grill to high. Cook pasta in large saucepan of boiling water, until just tender; drain. Return to pan.
  2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large deep-frying pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage mince to pan and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until browned. Add mushrooms and chilli. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until just tender.
  3. Add sauce. Stir to coat. Bring to the boil. Add pasta. Simmer, for 2 minutes or until warmed through and pasta is coated in sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking dish. Top with cheese. Grill pasta bake for 4-5 minutes or until cheese is golden and melted.
  4. Top with half the rocket and tomatoes and serve pasta bake with remaining salad on the side.


Tips & Hints

  1. You can use a flameproof baking dish or ovenproof frying pan in this recipe. This way you can just top with cheese and transfer straight to oven!
