Broccoli, Mushroom & Pork Pasta Bake

Ingredients

Meat & sauce:

  • 450 g minced pork
  • ½ head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 8 mushrooms, cut into eighths
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 1 packet Knorr Fix Spaghetti 4 Cheeses with Broccoli
  • 50 ml sour cream (18%)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 250 ml water

Bake:

  • 400 g penne rigate, cooked until al dente
  • 50 g hard yellow vegetarian cheese, grated
  • 2 pinches sweet paprika

Directions

Bake:

  1. Cook the penne in well-salted water until al dente, then drain.

Meat & sauce:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Fry the onion until softened. Add the minced pork, break it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through. Add the mushrooms and sauté briefly.

  2. Mix the Knorr Fix with the water and sour cream, pour into the pan, and bring to a simmer. Add the broccoli florets and cook until they are just tender and coated in the sauce.

  3. Fold the cooked penne through the meat and sauce. Transfer to a greased baking dish—either mix everything evenly or spread the pasta–pork mixture first, arrange broccoli mostly on top, then spoon any extra creamy sauce from the pan over the broccoli.

Bake:

  1. Sprinkle grated cheese over the top. Bake at 180°C for about 25 minutes until golden. Dust with sweet paprika and serve hot.
