LOL that's my absolute fave! Havent tried many others right enough. Even you saying it reminds you of vomit doesnt put me off. Maybe you just got a dodgy jar.

I don't think it was a dodgy jar, I've tried pasta bakes before and they tend to have that sickly taste or smell to them but I was hearing good things about this one though so thought I would try it. Even my daughter didn't like it which was unusual. I also bought the pepperoni pasta bake, not sure I want to open it lol But it looks like a richer tomato sauce rather than that creamy tomato & herb one.

Off to a friend's house now for dinner, they're doing pasta bake.. Wonder if it's homemade or homepride Already bought about 10 pasta bakes myself, food is going to get boring this month!

hahaha everyone is having pasta bakes for dinner. :eek:

I have to admit it was a really quick cheap meal, I added peppers, onion, left over chicken from Sunday roast and some mushrooms. Shame I didn't like it though.

We've just had the Creamy Tomato and Bacon one - tasted lovely. Other half has declared it her favourite. Yes we'll be eating a lot of pasta for the next few weeks BUT at approx 50p a portion who can moan? I bought the maximum of 9 today.....

I recommend the Cheese and Ham one too - yum.

I bought the garlic and herb potato bake and I'm afraid to say I have never tasted anything so disgusting! I'll stick to making my own!

Had the Tomato and Herb pasta bake tonight and it was great however won't bother with it again as it takes 45 minutes to cook! Think of all that wasted power when you could have cooked the pasta for a few minutes and used a stir in sauce.

has anyone ever used the pasta bake sauces just heated up over cooked pasta without cooking in the oven? wondering if this would work for quick lunches. thanks

True - but for some reason I find pasta bake much more satisfying than stir in sauce...and in terms of how many rings I need on, frying off time and cooking time it doesn't take much longer than cooking spag bol.

I do it that way all the time!

Tomato and Herb is my favourite, followed by Tomato and Bacon. I love mushrooms, and I like ham, but the Ham and Mushroom one was rank...

The pepperoni one isnt creamy so you may like that better.
