Roast Vegie Pasta Bake - Krischne

(Please note, I adapt and change this more than I change my undies :P lol - any veggie will do... leave some out... I also put grated cheese and herbs on top too. Have also put bacon in, or diced chicken breast... its so adaptable!)

Potato
Pumpkin
Sweet potato
Shallots (whole and peeled carefully)
Garlic (broken into cloves, and left with the skin on)
Zucchini
Mushrooms
Capsicum (red yellow and green)

Chop into small pieces and roast them all till cooked, with a little olive oil drizzled over and salt and pepper.
Make a white cheesy sauce (equal parts GF flour and butter stirred for a few mins, then milk, stirring constantly over a medium heat till it thickens, then add cheese to taste, and cayenne pepper to taste)
Cook some pasta.
Squeeze the garlic out of the skin and mush it up, and toss all the vegies together with pasta in a baking dish, add half the cheese mixture and stir through, then pour the rest over the top and bake for around 15 to 20 mins.
Also nice with bacon!

Dene's tuna mornay

My recipe is out the Womens Weekly basic cookbook, and I adjust it as
needed:

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons plain flour
1 large onion finely chopped
3 or 4 rashers of shortcut bacon, chopped
3 cups milk or part milk and part cream
corn kernels (frozen or tinned)
half a cup tasty cheese OR ricotta
1 tin tuna in springwater or brine
breadcrumbs
tasty cheese extra

melt the butter, add onion and bacon, cook until onion is transparent
add flour, cook for 1-2 minutes
remove from heat, add milk, whisking constantly, return to heat and bring to
boil
remove from heat again, add cheese, corn and tuna
place in oven proof casserole dish, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and cheese,
bake until top browns

serve with rice or pasta

optionally, cook pasta whilst you're making the mornay, mix it all together
in big casserole dish, sprinkle with cheese (no breadcrumbs this time) and
bake in oven til browned. (Homemade pasta bake, very yummy!!)
