Cheesy Mediterranean Pasta Bake

The great thing about this pasta bake is that there's no need to pre cook the pasta. All you need to do is mix the ingredients together in a bowl, pour into an ovenproof dish, scatter over the cheese and bake for 1 hour in the oven. It's really tasty too!

    Looks fantastic, Beth. Just what I need just now as I'm freezing cold!

    Am intrigued by adding the pasta in raw, but there's certainly plenty of liquid to cook it through. A great saving in time!
