Penguin's Comments


It's a really rich, creamy, traditional recipe. Personally, I love it. It's meaty, creamy and cheesy, very filling and good value.


Wildebeest's Comments


Very luxurious in taste, very creamy and very delicious. Comfort food at its best.

Suggestions

1. Bake longer, because the pasta was a little too al dente for my liking
2. I'd like to use fresh pasta sheets one day (oh, I have such exciting hopes!)

Very easy to make and most ingredients are already in the house. Penguin is very proud that she made a dish Wildebeest scored 20/20! Having been vegetarian until two years ago, and this being only the second time I've cooked mince, it's a major achievement!


Feeds one hungry Wildebeest and a penguin.


Takes about 90 minutes to make.
