Hola !!!!!!!!
Pasta is a traditional dish from Italy. Pasta is a simple dish which comes in many varieties due to its versatility. Some pasta dishes are served as a first course in Italy because the portion sizes are small and simple. Pasta is also prepared in light lunches, such as salads or large portion sizes for dinner. It can be prepared by hand or food processor and served hot or cold. Pasta sauces vary in taste, color and texture.Fresh Pasta can be made at home and you can make it to suit your palette.
My boys love Pasta.It is easy to cook and today I will share with you a very simple recipe that I learnt from my older son who first made it in school.Since then this is regularly made at home.My Son is a budding cook who is a great fan of Gordan Ramsay and tries to reciprocate his style and recipes at home. I am so lucky as he cooks for us whenever he is able to spare some time from his regular routine.
For our 84th #Foodiemonday #Bloghop theme of #Pastamania my contribution is this simple Cheesy Penne Pasta.
Recipe for Cheesy Penne Pasta:

2 Cups Pasta (cook as per instructions on the packet)

1/4 Cup Permesan Cheese
1 Tsp Oregano
1 Tsp dried Basil
1/2 Tsp Italian herbs
Salt to Taste
4 Tsp EVOO
Method:

Grease a glass bowl with the remaining EVOO. Pour the pasta onto the greased bowl. Sprinkle both the cheese generously over the paste and bake at 190C for about 20 mins.

Simple and delicious recipe, Preethi 🙂
Delicious pasta..hope you had a good time relishing these
Gorgeous looking pasta
Pasta looks delicious Preethi. Superb share.
Preethi during my trip to Italy, whichever restaurant we went to, I would be served a small portion of pasta as the first course. The second course would be a baked eggplant with some sauce. That’s the option they had for vegetarians. Even their pastas were usually served with less sauce. Love the cheesy pasta looks really tempting. (Cheesy pasta didn’t get anywhere!)
Loved the generous garnish of cheddar and parmesan Pree! Drooling over the cheesy pasta.
Love Cheesy and creamy pastas…and this looks perfect.
Amazing!
