Hi Sin. Your pasta bake was lovely. It is what I would call real comfort food. I badly mistimed it because I forgot how long it was also in the oven and the family were drooling.
I used radiatori pasta which I think is similar to rotini. The bacon was a wicked touch of genius.
A hit!
I agree Lealta, the dish looks yummy. I love asparagus too, it's one of my favorites. Every once in a while Lloyd makes a grilled sourdough tuna melt with grilled asparagus spears that is super good.
I had never thought of it either until Lloyd suggested it. You'd love it. He also adds other things to the tuna....i'll ask him exactly what he puts in it and post it here later.
You know another thing that's super simple and really delicious is the broccoli soup he makes. He got it from Gordon Ramsey and it's basically just broccoli (with a little salt) boiled for a few minutes (blanched), put in a blender with some of the water it was boiled in, served in to a bowl and add a little goat cheese on top. Salt and pepper as needed. It's really good on a cold day.
What I love about the soup also, is it's delicious but super healthy. You get not only get all the broccoli, but you get any vitamins that were extracted by using the water it was boiled in. Except for the little bit of goat cheese(for creaminess) and maybe a dash of olive oil, it's pretty much low fat.
