Cherry Tomato, Spinach and Garlic Mozzarella Pasta Bake Recipe
A really simple mozzarella and spinach pasta bake that doesn’t take hundreds of pots and pans to make and looks impressive when served at the dinner table. Make this garlicky, cheesy pasta bake with spinach and refreshing bursts of ripe cherry tomatoes in under 30 minutes.
Boil the pasta in plenty of salted, boiling water for just 5 minutes until softening but still very firm. They'll finish cooking in the oven. Drain and set aside.
Put the butter in a large pan over a medium heat and melt.
Add the cherry tomatoes, chilli flakes, garlic and a pinch of pepper and fry for 2 minutes until soft.
Add the fresh spinach and fry for a further 2 minutes until wilted.
Add the semi-cooked pasta, cheddar and mozzarella and toss together until evenly mixed.
Tip into a greased roasting tin.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and a pinch of pepper.
