remove from oven and add 3 large handfuls dry pasta Pennoni Rigati [any pasta will do] and 250ml boiling water stir return to oven for ten Min's

remove from oven and sit your meatballs[shop bought meatballs remember this is lazy ass] on top of pasta/sauce add grated cheddar and mozzarella cheeses

return to oven for 30 Min's - Done. mmmmmmmmmmm meatballs!

UB,

we need to get back onto pizza (well as soon as weather improves).

interesting this one and very timely. a relative has just pointed out that i never "do" pasta bakes. of course i've never heard of them. it appears they are in.

the spec on this looks really good - will for sure make over easter. meatballs ooh delicious.

[Unclebuck]

your right i like a fresh pizza but you know [and you may curse me] but Ive been making pizzas using puff pastry as a base!

but it works really well.. blasphemy.

I'm a real pizza head, which is why I chose to build a pizza oven rather than a tandoor.

You cannot beat simple pizza cooked in a wood fired oven.

AND

Pizza dough lashed with extra virgin olive oil and LOADS of garlic is the food of the gods IMHO!!

Unclebuck, our local pizza takeaway does pizzas on puff pastry, and it is VERY nice I must admit.

Lamb sweetbreads. On their own. Delicious.

Cheesy peas too. Yummy!

[Aussie Mick]

Cheesy peas too. Yummy!

[DalPuri]
