This family style Creamy Greek Pasta Bake is similar to mac and cheese, in that its two main ingredients are pasta and cheese. However, with the aid of a Thermomix, we took something good and made it better. Adding in aromatic garlic and onion, blended with fresh parsley and a cream sauce, enhanced with a drop of lemon juice remixes an often dreary and "samey" dish. Top with olives and cherry tomatoes, and another layer of cheese for a gooey and comforting meal that will instantly fill bellies.
