a favourite in my household and a good way to hide vegetables in dishes!! good for kids or for grumpy boyfriends who dont like the taste of certain veges!
What you need:
Penne pasta (doesnt matter as long as its not a spaghetti type pasta)
60gr butter
200gr bacon diced
2 cups of low fat milk
80gr plain flour
grated parmesan cheese
pumpkin
spinach shredded
mushrooms diced
step 1: boil the pasta. drain and set aside in a oven proof dish. boil and mash the pumpkin.
step 2: cook the bacon and the mushrooms in the butter. add the plain flour to make a roue. add the milk slowly to form a paste, then a sauce. once the sauce is thickened add the mashed pumpkin and stir in the spinach to wilt it.
step 3: mix the sauce/vege mix into the pasta. sprinkle the grated parmesan onto the top of the pasta making sure that all the pasta is below the surface of the sauce to stop it burning.
step 4: put dish into a 180C (fan forced) or 200C (normal oven) oven for 20min or until the bake has set and the parmesan has browned.
you can add garlic or onions to this but im allergic so i leave them out. ive also made this with tomato slices but finding a root vege that goes with the taste of tomato is pretty hard as potatoes dont work in this dish. if using a vegetable with a lot of water content you will have to either add more flour to make a thicker sauce or omit some milk.
