- Give this dish a green veggie boost my mixing in some grated courgette (zucchini) and spinach when mixing it all together.
- Like a kick of spice to your meals? Add some red chilli flakes in to the mix.
- Add a can of kidney beans too and you have yourself a chili con carne pasta bake.
- You can make a vegan version of this my making a lentil or mushroom bolognese and mixing it in to pasta and topping with your favourite vegan cheese.
- You can make this dish creamier by mixing some cream cheese in to the cooked pasta.
