Want to take spaghetti bolognese to another level? Then you have to try my cheesy bolognese pasta bake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to prepare this pasta casserole on days I work from home and when I've already had spaghetti bolognese the day before. Why? There are two good reasons: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. It is perfect for using up leftover Sauce Bolognese<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. It takes a maximum of 15 minutes to prepare. Since you can use the baking time of around 20 minutes to continue working, this is an ideal recipe for working from home!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Why is this cheesy Bolognese pasta bake healthier?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    With a few tricks, you can significantly improve the nutritional content of a classic pasta bake which contains lots of cream and cheese, without having to forego much flavor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In my recipe we don't use cream, but instead a mixture of milk and cream cheese! I'm pretty sure you won't miss the taste of cream and it has the benefit of saving some fat and adding a little more protein to the recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Additionally, I don't usually use classic, white wheat pasta for this recipe, but rather pasta made from chickpeas! Legumes are known to be rich in protein and fiber and therefore significantly enhance this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, I use fat-reduced Gouda cheese to top the casserole. I can understand if you prefer to use \u201creal\u201d cheese in your casserole. However, I love this pasta bake just as much with this lighter cheese and can only recommend that you try it at least once. Since we already use real freshly grated Parmesan and processed cheese in the cheese sauce, you won\u2019t feel like you\u2019re missing out on cheese or flavor with that golden brown cheese layer on top!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How do I cook a Sauce Bolognese?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
