This pasta bake tastes just like the other stuff.
However, it is not filled with a lot of carbohydrates as well.
 

I should also mention that there are not a lot of ingredients in this bake.
But, I also like that it is easy to make. Thus, this is a meal that I can easily go pasta-crazy over.

 

Pasta bake is a well-liked dish.

It is relatively easy to make as you can easily make it in advance and then just set the oven to bake
However, it is also filling and can feed a few other people besides yourself.

There certainly is more than just pasta in this bake.
This bake contains vegetables in the form of tomatoes in the sauce and other vegetables that are added to it.
Also, we add protein to this dish thanks to the cheese and meat that we can add.

There are a few items that you will need for this recipe that you may not have on hand.

Obviously, you will need low carb penne (or similar) pasta. You can find low carb penne pasta here.

The truth is that tomatoes do have carbs in them and we use tomatoes to make pasta sauce. However, most pasta sauces that are available for us to buy have sugar added to them. Thus, using a pasta sause that has no added sugar is what we need to use in this recipe to keep the carbs down.

I get a lot of visitors who ask me about baking without sugar.

Baking cakes, cupcakes, and cookies has gotten a lot easier over the years. This is mostly thanks to the many new products and options that are now on the market.

For me, the alternative that I choose to use in a recipe has a lot to do with what that recipe actually is.
Every alternative behaves differently when added to a recipe. This has a lot to do with how we use that alternative in our recipe.

    OMGosh, that looks good! I sure wish they would come out with a gluten free low carb pasta that works that well. There are so many of us who cannot tolerate gluten or wheat.
