Recipe tip

COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Smart swap: Got another jar of red pasta sauce in the cupboard? Use it instead of the arrabbiata sauce in this recipe for a flavour twist.

Smart swap: Got an eggplant that needs using up? Use it instead of the zucchini in this recipe. Whatever cheese you have on hand will work in this dish, too – parmesan, mozzarella or even blue cheese are all great to add to tray bakes such as this one.
