🍝 Hey, foodie friends! Who said #MeatFreeMondays had to be boring? 🤔 I’m here to dispel that myth with my Creamy Pasta Bake! It's so indulgent and bursting with flavors, you'll hardly notice it's meat-free. Plus, it’s quick and easy, perfect for those busy Mondays! 🌿🧀 Check out what you'll need: - 1 block of sweet chilli cream cheese (because who doesn't love a bit of spice and indulgence? 😍) - 300g small pasta (quick cook time means more time to enjoy! 🍝) - 1 cup sliced mushrooms 🍄 - 1 punnet cherry tomatoes 🍅 - 1 large capsicum, diced (for a vibrant pop of color & taste 🌈) - 1 zucchini, cut into bite-sized pieces 🥒 - 500ml water 💦 - 300ml cream (because we're all about that creaminess 😉) - Salt and pepper to taste (season away, friends! 🧂) **How to whip up this deliciousness?** 😋 1️⃣ Plop your cream cheese block right in the middle of your baking dish (where it rightfully belongs). 2️⃣ Arrange your pasta, tomatoes, mushrooms, capsicum, and zucchini around it - ensure the pasta's at the bottom to soak up all the glorious flavors. 3️⃣ Pour over your water and cream. This is where the magic begins, folks! 4️⃣ Cover your dish with foil and bake at 180C for 40 mins. Patience is key! ⏰ 5️⃣ Once it's out of the oven, give it a good stir to blend all that cheesy goodness. 6️⃣ Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken up. Voila! Your #MeatFreeMonday just got a whole lot yummier! Tag me in your creations, I can't wait to see them! 📸 #vegetarianrecipe #pastabake #CreamyGoodness #EasyRecipes #HealthyEating #MeatlessMeals #Foodie #homecooking #stephcooksstuff
