Today is the virtual pasta party on Twitter, just search #twitterfoodparty and you'll be able to see everyone's dishes.
I actually made this dish for Sunday's dinner because during the week Satoshi doesn't eat until really late, so having him eat pasta during the week is a no-no.
I was in the mood for a baked pasta dish with lots of veggies: leftover roasted cauliflower, roasted pumpkin.
I also sauteed some red bell pepper, eringi mushroom, shimeji mushroom and onion in homemade mac nut pesto, then added in the roasted cauliflower & pumpkin at the end because they were "pre-cooked".
The pasta I used was anelli (aka spaghetti-o's), which I got from Rowena awhile back.
I also made a bechamel sauce using this recipe. The bechamel calls for an addition of parmesan but I didn't.
Tossed everything in the sauce to coat then I divided everything into two baking dishes.
Since I didn't add the parmesan to the bechamel, I instead topped each baking dish with a slice of cheese.
I baked these for about 10 minutes under the broiler.
This was delicious, I loved all the veggies and creaminess...comfort food!
Can't wait to see what deliciousness everyone else has made...
Oh I haven't eaten anything like this in ages! Comfort food for sure :) It looks so good, and also love the o-shaped pasta from Rowena :)
