10. Monday Broccoli and cauliflower cheese pasta bake & garlic toasts


Bit of a change to the order of the menu plan but I just kinda fancied some pasta tonight. This was really simple to do as the sauce came with the broccoli cauliflower cheese and its one of the only brands I've found that doesn't contain wheat!

Ingredients:

* Pack of Iceland broccoli and cauliflower cheese frozen pack (you cook it from frozen)
* 250g wheat free pasta (this did 2 adults, a toddler and a blended up for a infant, and some left over)
* left of cheddar cut into slices
* Half log of goats cheese cut into slices
* Wheat free bread
* Butter, 2 x slices per slice of bread
* Garlic powder
* Dried mixed herbs

Method:

1. Cook broccoli mix according to packet instructions; which were in a oven proof bowl/dish for 40 minutes at 180oC

2. Meanwhile cook the pasta according to the packet instructions

3. Drain the pasta and then mix it in with the broccoli mix then top with cheeses, place bread on a baking tray. Top with butter and then sprinkle garlic powder and mixed herbs on top. Place everything back in the oven at 200oC for 10 minutes.

4. I found I then had to turn the grill on over the pasta just to make the cheese crisp up

Review:

This is very simple and easy to do. The goat's cheese without doubt boosted this dish but adding a nice tang to it, otherwise I think it would have been a bit bland. The garlic toasts are a nice alternative to garlic bread and mop up the cheese sauce nicely. I was worried that the pasta would be dry as there didn't look like there would be enough sauce to cover it all, however there was enough that it was all saucy.
