By Jess Spiro, 24 July 2023

Spoiler alert, lasagne isn’t the only baked pasta out there and we’ve got a collection of recipes to prove it. When you need maximum cosiness, here are other baked pastas to warm you up.

1. Baked tomato pasta

While we'll never turn our backs on mac 'n cheese, this recipe has no white sauce and is even speedier because of that.

2. Mac and cheese with stuffing

See? We do love mac and cheese. This recipe includes leftover turkey from Christmas, but you could replace it with sausages or bacon – or leave it out entirely.

4. Ravioli lasagne

Okay, so we might have one lasagne on this list, but this really is a cheat if nothing else. Roasting some butternut is the most you'll have to do to be rewarded with a hearty dinner.

5. Cheesy mushroom-and-bacon rigatoni bake

This pasta might be the sole reason we look forward to winter. Omit the bacon if you'd like to keep it veggie-friendly.
