Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Grease a 1.2 litre baking dish with the olive oil.
  2. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water in a large pan for 8 mins. Add all the vegetables and cook for another 2-3 mins until the pasta is tender and the vegetables slightly softened. Drain, then tip into the baking dish and mix well.
  3. Beat together the eggs and milk in a jug and add the thyme. Mix the two cheeses together and add most of it to the egg mixture, then season. Pour into the baking dish, stir gently, then scatter the rest of the cheese on top. Bake for 35-40 mins until set and golden. Cool for a few mins, then serve with a green salad.

    super easy and super tasty - use any vegetables you've got in the fridge! great, but i would say it doesn't quite serve four with the amounts given.

    A really easy dish to make and a nice change from the usual tomatoey pastas. However the amount of pasta given in the recipe is definately not enough to serve four. I recommend using the same recipe with a higher quantity of pasta!

    Very easy to make and with a slight adjustment of quantities it works well. A very tasty meal - the addition of lemon thyme was excellent!

    Needs more pasta and something, maybe chilli for a bit more flavour.

    Simple and quick, and made with store cupboard standbys. I would make it again!

    Disappointing. I didn't care for the lemon thyme, and the dish was otherwise a bit bland. The family ate it, but with no real enthusiasm. Not one I'll make again.

    This went down well. It is basically like a pasta omlette but it made a change to the usual pasta bake. I used mixed herbs as Idid not have lemon thyme. I will probably make again as it is a great store cupboard standby.

    Not bad - slightly bland - not convinced by the quantities though - 4 people - I used extra eggs and pasta and it only seemed to serve 2.

    Really pleased I've discovered this recipe - I love one-dish meals that use ingredients you generally have on hand. It's a cross between a pasta bake and an omelette.

    I made this for my lunch today and it was really nice I'm a student living in halls so i have to try and change the quantities to suit just one person as i only cook for myself, so i used the following quantities: 25g wholewheat pasta half a bunch of spring onion 1/3 of a red pepper half a pack of green beans (as i had them left over in the fridge) 1 large organic egg 120ml of low fat unsweetened soya milk 25g organic mild cheddar cheese half a tbsp of lemon thyme I skipped on the parmesan as i'm a vegetarian and i have never successfully found a parmesan made with vegetable rennet rather than animal rennet, and i must admit i think the flavour of this was missing from it. Nevertheless, it was still nice and i would make it again!

    Serves 4 mice! Not nearly enough, I would double the quantity if I cooked it again. Found it to be quite dry and a bit bland. Didn't go down particularly well with hubby and teenage sons.

    I thought it needed a bit of a kick and the second time around added a generous sprinkling of chilli powder, spinach puree and paprika flavoured salami. Much much better with the additions.

    Using a tin of Campbell's condensed cream of mushroom soup and adding one large egg, no milk, was also very tasty. The addition of some Pepperami or crispy chopped bacon really adds flavour too. All in all a great basic recipe that is constantly tweekable.
