Best Pasta Bake With Goats Cheese Recipes

PASTA BAKE WITH GOATS' CHEESE

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and add the onion, pepper, courgette, aubergine and tomatoes. Cook over a medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes until slightly softened and browned at the edges.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas 4.
• Mix the cooked and drained pasta with the softened vegetables and put in an oven-proof dish. Stir in the pasta sauce and crumble the goats' cheese over the top.
• Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, covering with foil halfway through the cooking time if the top is browning too much. Sprinkle with torn basil before serving.

GROUND TURKEY AND GOAT CHEESE PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 10 minutes. Drain; return to the pot and set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir turkey with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain fat.
• Combine browned turkey, cooked pasta, 1 can of tomato soup, diced tomatoes, and chopped green pepper in a bowl.
• Place one layer of the pasta mixture in the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. Spread 1/3 of the 2nd can of tomato soup over this layer; add 1/3 of the crumbled goat cheese, and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat with second and third layers of pasta, ensuring that the top layer is completely covered with mozzarella.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted and browned on top, 20 to 30 minutes.

PASTA CASSEROLE WITH GOAT CHEESE AND SALSA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the farfalle and boil until al dente, about seven minutes. Drain, season to taste with salt and pepper and toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Oil an oblong 9-by-13-inch baking dish with one-half tablespoon of the oil.
• Spread one-third of the farfalle in the baking dish. Spread with half the pepper salsa, then top with half the goat cheese. Repeat the layers. Cover with the remaining farfalle, then sprinkle with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
• Place in the oven and bake 35 to 40 minutes.

BAKED ARTICHOKE PASTA WITH CREAMY GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees and bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook fusilli according to package directions until 3 minutes shy of al dente. Reserve 3 cups pasta water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large oven-proof skillet, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook scallion whites until softened, about 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook another 1 minute. Stir in red-pepper flakes, and cook another 30 seconds.
• Whisk in 1 1/2 cups pasta water, cream cheese and goat cheese, and simmer, whisking, until smooth. Stir in artichokes, 1 cup fried onions, the mozzarella, the parsley, the dill and the reserved scallion greens, then stir in cooked pasta and black pepper. Add more pasta water if it seems too dry; you want this to be fairly liquid, because the pasta will soak up the sauce as it bakes. Taste and add some salt if needed.
• Top pasta with remaining cup of fried onions and the Parmesan. Bake until filling is bubbly and onions are browned, about 10 to 20 minutes. Serve drizzled with olive oil, and with more red-pepper flakes on the side if you like.
