Chicken and Cheese Pasta Bake
A hearty pasta casserole featuring tender chicken, vegetables, and melted cheese in a savory tomato sauce
Dead simple weeknight dinner — pasta, sausage, and leek all baked together in one dish. Ready in about 40 minutes.
Slice the sausage into rounds and cut the leek into rings.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, or use leftover cooked pasta.
Mix the sausage, leek, and pasta together in a deep ovenproof dish. Whisk together the cream cheese spread, grated cheese, and crème fraîche, then season with a little salt and pepper.
Pour the sauce over the sausage mixture and place the dish in the middle of a preheated oven at 200 °C for 15–20 minutes, until it's bubbling nicely and the sauce has turned golden.

A hearty pasta casserole featuring tender chicken, vegetables, and melted cheese in a savory tomato sauce

We make this at least twice a month — creamy curry chicken that basically cooks itself. The kids actually eat it.

Everything goes in one pot — chicken, pasta, tomatoes, done. Big hit with kids and adults alike, and barely any washing up.
