Clear out the crisper for this adaptable pasta bake.William MeppemeasyTime:2 hours +Serves:4
Turn whatever you happen to have in the fridge into a crowd-pleasing vegetarian pasta dish.
Notes
Cooking 4 cups of 2cm diced vegetables in a single tray at 200C fan-forced (220C conventional) for 75 minutes might seem risky. But the vegies will be packed quite tight and will therefore release a fair bit of liquid.
The goal here is to caramelise and char the vegies to give flavour to the pasta bake,instead of simply cooking them (they’ll be “cooked” after about 30 minutes or even less).
Of course,if the particular vegetables you choose don’t release much liquid,you can cook them for less,or remove them if they look as if they’re burning.
