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.

Hi – could I add some diced chicken breast to this dump bag?
You could yes just make sure it is cut into small pieces. Enjoy
I really liked this recipe. I veganised it with vegan cream cheese and vegan mozzerella. Very tasty and so quick to prep.
That is great to hear and glad it worked well being veganised!
