When you love pasta as much as I do you’re constantly thinking of new and wacky ways to enjoy it, after all, there are only so many pasta bake recipes that I can post! Although thinking about it, this receipt does include pasta and it is baked in the oven, so effectively I am sharing yet another pasta bake recipe. This time however it has the added twist of twirly spaghetti!!
Unlike most other pasta bakes, this one is just as good cold in a lunchbox the next day, and can even be picked up and devoured with your hands, perfect for lunch on the go or a picnic (maybe wait a few months for the sun to come out first).
Serves 4-6
- 1 red onion – peeled and finely sliced
- 150g broccoli – whizzed until fine in a blender
- 3 cloves garlic – peeled and finely chopped
- Splash olive oil
- 500ml milk
- 100g mascarpone
- 4 large free-range eggs + 1 egg yolk
- Black pepper
- 60g mature cheddar cheese – grated
- 60g blue cheese – grated
- 1 fresh chilli – deseeded and finely chopped
- 140g sundried tomatoes – finely chopped
- 400g wholemeal spaghetti – just cooked
- 1 nob butter
- 1 tsp oregano
Pre-heat the oven to 180’C
Heat a large saucepan and gentle fry the onion until soft.
Add the broccoli and the garlic and continue to fry for 5 minutes, or until any liquid has gone from the pan.
Whisk together the milk, mascarpone, eggs and pepper until well combined.
Stir in most of the cheese (leaving a little to sprinkle over the top), the broccoli mixture, sundried tomatoes and oregano and then stir through the spaghetti.
Melt the butter in a large, ovenproof frying pan and swirl it around to coat the base.
Slowly pour the spaghetti into the pan and give it a good shake to even out the mixture.
Press the mixture firmly into the pan and top with the cheese.
Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until lovely and crisp and then slice and serve up with some yummy salad.
That looks so yummy. I love spaghetti and pie too. So, it is a winner.
this looks terrific! I’ve never made a spaghetti pie. I’d like to try this, but will need to sub gf spaghetti. and maybe some feta cheese as I’ve never liked blue cheese (ha ha) But sounds terrific, thanks for sharing your recipe! 😀
I think it would be lovely with feta too, oooo or goats cheese! – perhaps I’m going to have to make it again!
Yummy! Will make this!
Yummy! Just pinned to Pinterest to try really soon!
