Baked pasta is an easy-to-do recipe ideal for kids because bone-free fish is used.
You will need: frozen flying squid rings, precooked frozen shrimps, surimi, courgettes (zucchini), leeks, canned cherry tomatoes, canned peas, aromatic herbs (basil, bay leaf, parsley and chives), white wine, pasta and olive oil.
Here's the recipe!

Thaw the frozen ingredients. This step is necessary only if you use frozen flying squids and shrimps.

Prepare the sauce. Pour the oil in a non-stick-frying pan and add the leeks and courgettes. Sauté them on low heat for a few minutes stirring continuously. Then add the cherry tomatoes with their preservation juice, wine, aromatic herbs and flying squid rings. Cook over medium heat, half-covered, for about 40 minutes or until the flying squids are tender and then add the peas. Let all the ingredients flavour. Switch off the gas. At this point add the shrimps, surimi, basil and stir. Taste to determine how much salt the sauce needs.

Cook the pasta. Meanwhile cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package until al dente stage. (You can also read our directions to cook pasta not to make mistakes). Drain it and combine with the sauce. Stir very well.

The last step. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Lay four sheets of aluminium foil out on the kitchen table and divide the pasta on them. Close up the parcels well and bake in the oven for 5 minutes.
Serve this pasta hot still enclosed in its parcel.

Note

• - It's a very tasty one-plate meal. You can realise it all year with fresh or frozen ingredients.
• - Serve baked pasta as one-plate meal. You can also serve baked pasta in a complete menu but remember in this case the doses are enough for more people (at least 6 serving)

Healthy eating

• - Daily menu. Obviously this dish, rich in ingredients, is a perfect one-plate meal if chosen for your daily menus. Complete your meal with fresh fruit but if you are still hungry you can also add raw vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots ...). Another idea according to the Mediterranean diet instead of raw vegetables: a tasty dish made with fruit combined with green seasonal salad. For example: young spinach with orange slices or corn salad with green apple pieces or strawberries ... Look for other side-dish ideas on this page. Season to taste these salads with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (doses for 4 people). Obviously no bread and no more fruit.
  We remember pasta should be eaten preferably at lunch and the calories eaten at lunch should be 500 - 700 (30 - 35% of energy needs for an adult if his daily needs are about 2000 calories and he correctly divides his calories into 5 micro-meals).
  Here are the doses per head: 70 g (2 1/2oz) short pasta, 1/4 glass of white wine, half a leek or a little leek, aromatic herbs, 1 courgette (zucchini), 1/4 can cherry tomatoes, 60 g (2 1/4oz), 40 g (1 1/2oz) flying squids, a handful shrimps, 1 or 2 sticks surimi, less than one tablespoon olive oil.
• - Special occasion menu. As we've just written you can also choose this recipe for an important dinner menu, a celebration menu. Don't worry about fat, calories, sugars ... it happens rarely, doesn't it?
• - For an healthier recipe: don't sauté the leeks and courgettes in the olive oil. Put the cherry tomatoes, leeks, courgettes (zucchini), aromatic herbs and flying squid rings in a pan. Bring to the boil, lower the flame and keep on cooking until the flying squids are tender. Add hot stock or simply water only if necessary. At this point add the peas, flavor for some minutes stirring with delicacy and switch off the gas. Add the shrimps, surimi, basil, olive oil and stir. Taste to determine how much salt the sauce needs. In this way the olive oil preserves all its properties.
