Hi missimaxo,

I crush leftover crackers and mix with grated cheese to use as a topping for pasta bakes.

There's an earlier thread that may help:

I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

This may help with the digestive biscuits:

Hi,
I have just realised that we didn't finish the box of biscuits for cheese at christmas, they weren't put in a tupperware and now they have gone soft. I have used up the ones that are still ok soft but some just cannot be eaten with cheese now. Any suggestions of what I could use them for? I am really trying to stop throwing food away this year. Thanks in advance.

Next time you're baking, put them into the oven for a minute or two and they'll crisp up again

You can also crush them and make cracker crumbs to top casseroles or to use where you'd usually use breadcrumbs.

I love the idea of topping a pasts bake with them, crushed up with cheese. Can anyone tell me an easy recipe for pasta bake, I am ashamed to say I have only ever used the jar variety It can't be that difficult to make my own.
