Kat, The pasta bake looks amazing. I cooked a baked Carbonara dish tonight and my kids have a “thing” about not wanting to eat the crunchy bits on top.
How do you find yours kids go with that? I am thinking about putting a lid on next time in the oven to stop the crunchiness ..
what do you think?
My kids love the crunch, but to stop this you as you say put a lid on, or some alfoil however any cheesy tops won’t brown instead it will just melt.
Can this be frozen?
Hi Danielle, Yes absolutely it will freeze fine and defrosts just like it has come out of the oven.
Thanks again! ????
This is so tasty! Thanks for the recipe
