Hi there, would it be ok to omit bacon and would i need to replace it something else....this looks delish and i cannot wait to try it.Many thanks.

I made this for dinner tonight - simply delicious and very filling. Just a tip - to make this, or any other cheese or white sauce, use a balloon whisk to stir when heating. This will ensure a smooth consistency with no lumps.
Thanks for another great recipe.

Hi Amanda and Debbie,
I omitted the bacon but forgot to increase the chicken...it was still very delicious. my teenage children suggested i try maybe brocoli and carrots instead of mushies...am unsure how this will would go with the sauce.My son doesn't like mushies so picked at it. They both loved the flavour of this dish. so thanks.

Thank you so much for this great recipe. My husband and my 4 and 3 year old sons loved it so much. made this with roasted capsicum instead of semi dried tomatoes and without bacon(we don't eat bacon),really tasty.

This is just a fantastic recipe. Cooked it last night and it was absolutely beautiful. Not too sure about 'serves 6' people though. I would say 4 people at a pinch (unless we are being piggys!!)

To the person who asked about using broccoli and carrot in place of the mushrooms: We suggest that you cook the carrot and partially cook the broccoli before adding them to the sauce with the other ingredients.

G'day girls..another excellent recipe.I'm an old bloke,I love all your recipes and find them easy to follow...have not cooked a crook one yet...Doug

Oh so yummy , use your blog allll the time. Didnt put mushrooms in cause of a disagreeable 4 year old. But we all loved it easy recipe with outstanding results.
I'm yet to find a bad comment on any recipe..

I'm going to try this recipe in a couple of days. I'm already salivating at the thought of eating this LOL

looks yum, but the family doesn't like the tomatoes.can you omit the sundried tomatoes entirely?

Thanks for a fantastic recipe. Made this last night huge success. Used chargrilled capsicum instead of tomato and added breadcrumbs (2 slices stale bread)on top of the cheese for a lovely crunchy topping. Will definetly be making this again. Thanks gals!

Hi.
I just found your site and am disappointed that I can't copy and paste a recipe for potato pancakes.
I'm on a fixed income and for me to print the whole page would be a waste of ink that I can't buy all the time.I did write the recipe out however but with all these great recipes you have here I just can't do it....thank you.

Very nice recipe, no leftovers at my place!!!

To the person who commented on recipe printing: All of our pages are printer friendly. If you do a print preview, you can see how the recipe will look when printed.

To the person who asked about omitting the semi-dried tomatoes: The tomatoes could be omitted without negatively affecting the pasta bake.

I found this site only today and I must say it's one of the best foodblogs so far!!! Really interesting recipes and easy to follow instructions!!! Keep on the good job! Definitely trying something today!

I'm about to cook this dish, and wondered, there is only 2 of us and a child, could I freeze the left overs, or reheat the next day?

This recipe was absolutely divine and my husband couldn't stop raving about it. Such beautiful flavours. I'll definitely be making this again and again. Thanks for such a fabulous website.

This recipe was a great success with my family. Tasted wonderful, took a little bit of time to make, but well worth the effort. Keep up the great work!

Looks yummy - I need to feed 8 people, would it be ok just to double the recipe?

Yes. If you double the ingredient quantities, you may need to increase the cooking times slightly. You could use one large baking dish or two smaller ones.

No doubt this is one of the best chicken and pasta bake I've ever made. my girl loves mushrooms and this is a great dinner for us.thanks heaps for this easy recipe.

Thanks girls, the recipe is easy to follow and the results are simply divine! I made it with my bf at a friend's place for a get together dinner and everyone loved it. Thank you for the recipe and keep up the good work!

I used fresh cherry tomatos instead of sundried and i thought it was delicious!

Hi there,
I made the bake with aubergine and zucchini instead of mushrooms and it tasted wonderfull. Thanks for this delicious recipe!
Regards from Germany

Yes, that should be fine. You will probably need to increase the cooking time.

I made this for dinner the other night and everyone raved about it. I thought the flavours were lovely and I really liked the addition of the chicken stock to the white sauce. Thanks for yet another great recipe!

I love this recipe. Made it 3 times already and it always taste great. I used normal tomato. My husband and 2 year old kid loved it. Thank you so much.

This pasta bake is so full of flavour. My fussy husband loves it and my father-in-law thinks it tastes better than restaurant food lol. I've never had a bad recipe from this site, thank you

Chicken & Pasta Bake recipe: We had friends over the other night and wanted something filling yet easy to make; I'm the worst cook ever. This recipe was easy to follow and the results were great. (I added too much pasta but still tasted great). It is so much better to make the sauce than to buy a pasta bake sauce. Thanks for the recipe, would recommend this as a staple!

Absolutely delicious! If you haven't tried it yet, you haven't lived! Fantastic flavours. I have fussy eaters but with this dish there were no complaints whatsoever. I've written the recipe in our family cookbook for future indulgence!

Very hearty and yummy. Even my fussy 2 year old ate a whole bowl! Thank you for sharing such fabulous recipes!

I have used this recipe three times now and this last was the simply out of this world. I'm not sure what I did differently maybe a different brand/style of sundried tomatoes used.

Yumm... mine just came out of the oven... i used portabelo mushrooms and no sundried tomatos or spring onion and added a sprinkle of parmasean cheese, its delicious

This recipe is delicious just the way it is. I never fail with any of your wonderful recipes.

Another wonderful recipe that has been added to our list of favourites.

This is fantastic. I've now made it 3 times, and find it works best with a leek instead of an onion, and add add spring onions just before adding the cheese topping. Omit the tomatoes, and add extra cheese to the sauce. Marvellous.

I used macaroni (coz it's all i had). I added a little white wine, some chives, italian herbs and a 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes.... YUM!!! really really good!!

Cooked this tonight and it was fab, thanks so much for the recipe! it's going in my book! my whole family enjoyed it so much x x

This dish didn't last long in my household, very moreish!
Thanks Amanda and Debbie

Hey Girls what a fantastic bake, I have made this twice with a little twist of my own, I poach the chicken in the stock rather than frying it, also I use swiss brown mushies for that nutty flavour and finally I use chilli Pancetta instead of bacon for a bit of zing !
p.s. great recipes keep them coming.

I made this tonight but I used corn, asparagus, bacon, onion, zucchini, garlic and chicken (and of course pasta). I cooked the onion and bacon together, the chicken and garlic part cooked and then added the zucchini until both cooked, then added the tin of corn and asparagus when mixing it together. I used a whisk to make the sauce and there were no lumps. It came out absolutely beautiful! I'll be making this again!

Just made this, very easy and yummy. Added grated zucchini, finley chopped celery and grated carrot to bacon and onion mixture as need to hide veggies in things for my toddler. Omitted mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes as my kids and hubby don't eat them. Added quartered cherry tomatoes instead. Didn't have enough cheese so used cream that I had in fridge instead of milk and just sprinkled cheese over top.

if i wanted to reduce fat content could i make the sauce using cornflour instead of butter. how much would i use.

This is the tastiest pasta bake ever!

I only discovered your blog this week after years ogling foodie blog's and I feel like I've struck gold! So far I've made your vegetable slice, lemon coconut cake and now this pasta bake is in the oven for dinner. It tasted so good at the sauce stage and can't wait to sit down to eat. I'm so looking forward to trying more dishes. Really, really great site and recipes, keep up the great work.

I made this last night and it was lovely. I have a mushroom phobic son so cut the mushrooms into large pieces so he could navigate around them (and the rest of us could claim his), he also isn't too keen on tomatoes but wolfed down the sundried tomatoes. I will certainly cook this again, but I'm not going to make it into a pasta bake, I reckon it tasted the nicest before putting it into the casserole with the cheese on top. Thank you for a delicious dinner meal.

This was so good, but the main reason I am posting is to say thank you for using cup measurements as well as grams. It makes it so easy!

Brilliant recipe, and easy to follow for a beginner cook like me, thank you! I added about a tablespoon of chili flakes to give it a bit of zing (a bit much, but i do like my chili!)and some sliced zucchini and it turned out great. i only had stock cubes (perish the thought!) but they seemed to work out fine!
Thanks again!!

Thanks for the recipe kids loved it! I omit the tomatoes as my kids don't like them, makes heaps! Thanks again
