Introduction
This is my version of my sister Padmini’s favourite traybake. When we were flatmates, we’d cook on alternate nights, and I was always so happy to come home and find this in the oven – a lovely, filling vegetarian main.
Ingredients
3 | red peppers, roughly chopped |
500g | chestnut or portabellini mushrooms |
3 tbsp | olive oil |
4 cloves of | garlic, smashed |
3-4 sprigs of | fresh rosemary |
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper | |
½ tsp | chilli flakes |
300g | fusilli |
2 x 400g tins of | chopped tomatoes |
150g | green pesto |
A good handful of | grated Parmesan cheese |
240g | goat's cheese |
Method
Preheat the oven to 200° C fan/220° C/ gas 7. Tip the peppers, mushrooms, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, 2 teaspoons of sea salt and the chilli flakes into a really large roasting tin and mix well. Transfer to the oven and roast for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, and cook the fusilli for 11 minutes before draining well.
Add the fusilli and chopped tomatoes to the tin along with a good couple of pinches of sea salt, and mix well. Dollop over the pesto, and scatter over the Parmesan and goat’s cheese. Return to the oven for a further 30 minutes until golden and bubbling.
