A family-friendly Thermomix Creamy Chicken & Bacon Pasta Bake… the perfect midweek meal!

In our house, dinners during the week need to be quick, easy and no-fuss! This Thermomix Creamy Chicken & Bacon Pasta Bake is exactly that. Just let the Thermie do it’s thing then pop into the oven with lots of yummy cheese and bake. Too easy!

I like to add peas and corn to my pasta bake, but you can add absolutely any other veggies you like. Baby spinach is also another favourite here!

To get that beautiful golden and cheesy top on your Thermomix Creamy Chicken & Bacon Pasta Bake, I love using a mix of grated mozzarella, cheddar and parmesan cheese. YUM!!

This is always a winner with my toddler and I hope your family loves it too!
