Chicken, Bacon and Cheese Pasta Bake

Chicken, Bacon and Cheese Pasta Bake

Gluten free Pasta is a bit odd and you really need to forget everything you knew about Pasta because it will not ‘Hold’ and it certainly doesn’t stand recooking. But this worked really well. This was the second meal from the discounted Chicken which cost £2.38.

Ingredients:-

3 Rashers of Bacon, finely chopped
½ a Cooked Chicken, cubed
60g of Grated Italian style Cheese
100g of Grated Cheddar Cheese
3 Tbsp Mayo
½ Tsp of Hot Sauce
1 Tsp of Dry Mustard Powder
½ Tsp of Ground Black Pepper
½ Tsp Garlic Powder
½ Tsp of Onion Powder
½ Tsp of Paprika
1 Onion, finely sliced
3 Mushrooms, finely sliced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
Macaroni (Gluten free of us)
100ml of Greek Yogurt
100ml of Milk
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Fry the Onions, Bacon and Garlic in a little oil until the Onions have softened.
(2) Add the Mushrooms, then the Chicken and cook until the Chicken is thoroughly heated.
(3) In a separate pan add the Milk, Yoghurt and Mayo. Heat until it simmers and then add the other ingredients except the Macaroni and Cheese.
(4) Simmer for a further 5 minutes.
(5) Cook the Pasta and drain. Add to an oven proof casserole.
(6) Add the Onion and Bacon mixture to the sauce and stir in.
(7) Pour over the Macaroni then add the grated Cheese and Italian style Cheese.
(8) Place under the grill until the Cheese has melted and browned slightly.

We served our with Corn on the Cob and a few home grown Peas.

Turkey Kofta recipe

Gluten free wraps for 20p as opposed to £2.00 in the yellow sticker fridge were the foundation of this idea. We also had a pack of yellow sticker Turkey Sausages in the freezer which cost us £1.29 a few weeks ago. This was a good opportunity to use up some bits and bobs in the fridge. Things like ½ a pack of fresh Mint which was bought for a recipe, but was beginning to look a bit sad….

Ingredients for the Kofta:-

6 Turkey Sausages
½ A large Onion, diced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp of fresh Parsley, finely chopped
1 Tbsp of fresh Mint, finely chopped
½ Tsp of Smoked Paprika
½ Tsp of Cumin
½ Tsp of Cinnamon
½ Tsp of All Spice
½ Tsp of Cayenne Pepper
1 Spring Onion, finely diced
Salt & Pepper

Ingredients for the Wrap filling:-

Grated mature Cheddar Cheese
2 Tomatoes, sliced
1 Red Onion, finely sliced
Brown Sauce (DIY Recipe here!)

Method:-

(1) If you are using wooden Skewers, soak them in water.
(2) Use a sharp knife to de-skin the Sausages.
(3) Mix all the ingredients and form into thick Sausage shapes.
(4) Push the skewer through the middle of Kofta lengthways.
(5) Place under the grill and turn regularly until they are slightly browned and cooked through.
(6) On a board remove the skewers and cut the Kofta into thin slices diagonally using a shape knife.
(7) Sprinkle the wraps with water and pop in the Microwave for a few seconds to soften.
(8) Add a little Brown Sauce, grated Cheese, sliced Onion, sliced Tomato. Avoid the ends so you can fold them in.
(9) Lay the sliced Kofta over the top.
(10) Fold the ends in and then wrap.
(11) Cut diagonally and serve.

We served these with home made Coleslaw, Wholegrain Mustard dressing, Killer Cucumber Pickle – All of which we already had made up – and hand cut chunky chips.
