Courgette and Pasta Bake

"Taken from the BBC Good Food Easy Italian booklet July 2008. I used this recipe whilst we were caravaning in the South of France with limited utensils and space and it worked wonderfully. My 3 yr old (who's recently become a fussy eater) loved it and it has quickly become a family favourite. You can alter the amounts for each ingredient to suit as the original recipe doesn't actually specify amounts and this is just how I did it. I also added some grated cheddar to the topping just because we all love cheese."

Really enjoy cooking and trying new recipes, especially north American, French, Greek and Mexican. Have many cookbooks which I often pick from but love Nigel Slaters recipes and attitude, Charmaine Solomon for her Asian recipes and I am also a subscriber to Good Food Mag. I try to source good quality ingredients particularly meat and organic veg as I believe that <br />good ingredients can make a meal truely special. Have been lucky enough to find a wonderful farmer/butcher in Wales who only sells his own produce which is fantastic and I always stock up on a whole lamb for the freezer when I go there! <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HycMLGzpJjc/S-3vqYbQ-3I/AAAAAAAAAAo/UwzmbgtkT30/s1600/MischiefMakers.jpg[/img></a></p>
