Creamy Mushroom Pasta Bake Recipe / Baked Mushroom Pasta Recipe

Spread the Joy!

Baked pasta is always my favourite. They are so tasty and so cheesy and bubbly and simply delicious.I have been making quite a lot of pasta recipes recently, because hubby got three packets of different shaped pasta and a packet of spaghetti as well. Because of his love for pasta. Somehow i managed to finish a entire packet of spiral pasta by making this zuchinni pasta and a very tasty eggplant pasta (will share it soon).

This is a delicious pasta dish which i made few days back. I served it with my spicy jerk chicken and it was delicious.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
