Easy cheesy pasta bake! A great kid-friendly dinner that you can covertly sneak in some extra veggies to. It doesn't need many ingredients but requires a little extra time for roasting the veg; however this may even come in handy for homework assistance in the interim. If you're keen to skip the pasta, cauliflower is a great replacement or even diced potatoes will do. A simple, hearty dinner that doesn't need too much thinking about.
