Pasta Bake is the ultimate comfort food – hearty, cheesy, and perfect for feeding a crowd or prepping ahead for easy weeknight dinners. Cooked pasta is tossed in a rich tomato or creamy sauce, layered with cheese, and baked until golden and bubbling. I love mixing in roast veg, sausage, or leftover chicken to make it even heartier. It’s simple, satisfying, and always a reliable go-to when you want something warm and filling.
