Baked Pasta with Vege by Angie Low

Ingredients:
75g baby pasta
Vege (e.g.,chopped broccoli, cauliflower, mushroom, zucchini, carrots)
20g butter
20g all purpose flour
200 ml milk
Garlic & onion (can be omitted)
Cheddar cheese or parmesan cheese
Chopped tomato
Salt and pepper

Method:

1) Put about 75g of baby pasta into lightly salted boiling water.

2) After the pasta has boiled for sometime, add vege into the boiling water. (I added cauliflower, mushroom and shredded zucchini). Remember to add the vege at a time when the pasta and vege will be done at the same time. For example, if it takes 10 minutes to cook the pasta and 4 minutes to cook cauliflower, then add cauliflower after 6 minutes. 

3) In a separate sauce pan, add 20g of butter, wait for it to melt. Season with salt and pepper. (Go easy with the salt since will be adding cheese later and cheese can be quite salty). Add garlic and onion (can omit if baby do not like). 

4) Then stir in 20g of flour. Whisk in around 200ml of milk until cooked then off the heat and add 50g of shredded cheddar cheese or parmesan cheese. 

5) Mix the drained pasta and vege with the pasta sauce. Stir in some chopped tomato and pour the mixture into baking dish. 

6) Add more cheese on top.

7) Grill in the oven for 4-5 minutes.
