Inspired by the margherita flavours of tomato, basil and mozzarella this pasta bake is absolute comfort food. Our creamy tomato sauce is full of crème fraiche and italian cheese and finished with a big bunch of basil leaves. Served mixed with macaroni and topped with golden and bubbling cheddar and mozzarella and a sprinkle of crispy breadcrumbs!

Made with a tomato base, onion, garlic, and basil, this dish provides 2 of a child’s 5-a-day along with 3.5 plant points, helping to encourage variety in children’s diets. Tomatoes naturally contain vitamin C, while the creamy cheese sauce adds a source of calcium and protein. Finished with a light golden breadcrumb topping for added texture, this pasta bake is a simple yet nourishing meal that children will love. Perfect served with a side of peas for an extra pop of colour and nutrition!
