This recipe shows you how to make the pasta sauce and freeze ready to defrost then add pasta and stock and pop straight into the oven. This is brilliant if you have a small freezer and don’t have space to put a whole pasta bake in.

  1. I really liked this recipe. I veganised it with vegan cream cheese and vegan mozzerella. Very tasty and so quick to prep.
