Creamy Tomato and Vegetable Pasta Bake

I’ve been trying to include a couple of vegetarian options during our mid week dinner that are still #easy #homemade and a #familyfavorite ❤️ This week I made a #homemade tomato and vegetable pasta sauce in my #slowcooker @crockpotuk and I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome ➡️ Creamy tomato and vegetable pasta bake ✔️ Fresh
✔️ Flavoursome ✔️ Rich

No added preservatives here!

Recipe

🍅 100g fresh tomatoes
🍅 400g chopped tomatoes
🍅 1 red onion
🍅 1/2 courgette
🍅6 mushrooms
🍅1 large red pepper
🍅1 tbsp @verylazyfooduk crushed garlic
🍅1 tbsp black pepper
🍅50g cream cheese
🍅150g Penne pasta
🍅Cheddar cheese on top

Method

Roughly chop up all of the vegetables and place in the slow cooker. Add the chopped tomatoes, garlic, black pepper and mix to combine. Cook on low for 8 hours. Use a hand blender and blend until semi smooth. Mix in the cream cheese. Add the sauce to the pasta and place in an oven proof dish. Sprinkle cheese on top and bake for 20 mins at 180c until soft.

Happy cooking x
