Pasta Cups


I found this recipe in one of those compilation cookbooks, put together as a fundraiser.  This is a fantastic recipe for kids as it has heaps of veges, and cooking them in the muffin pan makes it a bit fun & different.  I actually just spooned out the mixture into 6 muffin pans (for the toddler) and put the rest in a casserole dish (for hubby & I).  These were a huge hit!

Ingredients
1 carrot, grated
1 zucchini, grated
1/4 of a butternut pumpkin, grated
1 can evaporated milk
3 eggs
200g diced bacon
1 cup grated cheese
1 1/2 cups cooked pasta

Method
Heat a frying pan and add carrots, zucchini and pumpkin.  Cook for 3 minutes.

Whisk milk and eggs in a large bowl; stir in cooked veges, bacon, cheese and pasta.

Spoon into greased muffin tins and bake at 180 degrees until golden brown (about 30 minutes).

Sounds good Vanessa. I also do lasagne for the kids this way, just layer into muffin tins the normal method. Works well and neater for them to deal with.

I cooked these last night with grated carrot instead of the pumpkin, ham instead of bacon, and put the leftover (after putting most of the mixture in muffin pans) in 3 ramekins.
