The Easiest Cheesiest No Guilt Pasta Bake. I was originally planning this concoction for two but when it came out of the oven there is definitely enough for 4 servings with a side salad or 3 very generous sized servings! So I’m gonna go with serves 4 at approx 6pp each or on F&H this works out at approx 3pp if you use wholewheat pasta. Happy Days! Here’s the Skinny: 1/2 White Onion Finely Diced
1 Red Ramiro Pepper Finely Diced
2 Medium 50g Pepperoni Sausages Sliced
80g Fresh Light Mozzarella
120g Uncooked Pasta Shapes
Salt & Black Pepper
1 Clove Garlic
1 Tsp Dried Oregano
1 Tsp Sweetener
Handful Fresh Basil Leaves Torn
500g Passatta Cook the Pasta in a pot of boiling salted water for 10mins. Meanwhile lightly fry the onion & red pepper in sprayoil until soft (approx 5 mins). Crush the garlic clove into the pot & fry for a further 30 seconds. Add the Passatta, Oregano, Sweetener & Season well with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Take off the heat & add the Pepperoni Slices, the Mozzarella ripped into small chunks (reserve some of both for the top) add in the basil leaves & mix well. Pour the pasta mix into an ovenproof bowl & smooth the top. Add the remaining Mozzarella & Pepperoni & season with black pepper. Bake in a preheated oven at 200c for approx 25 minutes or until cooked through. Keep an eye for the last 10 minutes and reduce heat to 180c if browning too much. Serve & enjoy!

Thank you More Than A Dash Of Salt, I love Pizza but incredibly difficult to get a healthy base so decided on a pasta bake instead! This is lovely, the pizza flavours are all there!
