The other week I felt like making a pasta bake, a regular occurrence in our household. So I opened the cupboard, looked around and to my surprise I only found a bag of dried spaghetti. Now this is not my choice of pasta to make a pasta bake with, so I put my creative cap on and decided to make a twisted baked version of the classic dish spaghetti bolognaise.

So this dish is filled with your usual spaghetti bolognaise ingredients. Mince meat cooked with lots of chopped garlic, onion and carrots. Chopped tomatoes, tomato paste and stock added. Cooked down until you have just enough glossy sauce to coat the cooked spaghetti.

And then there is the twist. Well the first obvious twist is that it is going to be baked so you need to put it all into an ovenproof dish. The next twist is covering the top with a layer of my secret ingredient. My parsley speckled sour cream. This adds an amazing flavor and creamy texture to the bake. Top this with copious amounts of tasty cheese and let it bubble away until golden.

Now the first time I made this dish I put the spaghetti in whole, and it was a messy challenge when it came to serving it up. The next time I learnt my lesson and tried it by breaking it into quarters, this was an easier option.
