On to this recipe, well it's not really a recipe, I just made it up as I went along, and it was fantastic. Hubby's Brother strategically called around just as I was serving up, so he stayed for a nibble too -and loved it (he is even harder to please than hubby!!). We also used some fresh garden peas from the allotment.
Ingredients:
400g Pasta
350g Cooked Pesto Chicken fillets, chopped
150g Smoked Ham, chopped
150g Fresh Peas - from the allotment!!!
50g Butter
Small red onion, chopped
50g Flour
600ml Milk
150g Cheddar
Handful of Parmesan
Method:
Step 1: Cook pasta according to packet and add peas for last minute of cooking, drain and reserve
Step 2: Meanwhile, melt butter and fry onion until soft, add flour and stir for 1 minute, then gradually add milk. Bring to the boil to thicken then take off heat and add cheese, chicken, ham, peas and pasta
Step 3: Tip into oven proof dish , sprinkle with Parmesan and grill for 5 minutes

Beth, this looks delish...creamy, nice topping and colourful.
That sounds so comforting
Ohhhhhh I'm sick and that looks soooooooooooo good!
You are a clever cookie though cos that's such a great recipe, kinda carbonara-come-macaroni cheese which is everything I love in a pasta dish!
And what a good deal on your berries, especially from Waitrose, look forward to seeing what you do with them : ) xx
Ah Waitrose - the only thing that makes it better is when you get things on discount. :) Looks like a great, quick dinner time dish.
Oh Beth - you have me craving pasta and it's nearly 11:00 pm. This looks delicious!
This is my idea of comfort food, delish!

I love pasta bakes, and this one looks and sounds delish.
Lucky you to have a Waitrose nearby, sounds like you got a great deal on the berries.
