Nudeln Vegetarisch Auflauf / Pasta Casserole

Auflauf is something which is cooked or baked in a vessel and served in  the same. Auflauf is in German and usually known as Casserole. I learn  this from a dear friend of mine in Germany. Here I have used Penne Rigate Pasta and Hollandish Sauce with vegetables.

Ingredients :
Penne Rigate Pasta : 120 gms Brocolli, Carrots, Potatoes - 200 gms togetherHollandish Sauce mix - 1 Pack Whipped Cream - 5 tbsp Milk - 1 cupGarlic - 1 tbsp Onions - 2 Nos. Pepper - 1/4 tbsp Italian Seasoning - 1/2 tsp  Cheese grated - 1 cup (I used Gaud) Capsicum - 1 Small Olive Oil - 1 tbsp Salt to taste Method of preparation :
Cook Pasta as per the instruction on the pack, add 1/2 tsp salt while cooking and drain water.Keep asideCook Mixed vegetables till they are 3/4th cooked and drain water. Keep aside In a Pan heat oil and add garlic then onions and fry for a min.Add Hollandish sauce powder with milk and cream and salt if required. If you are using creamy hollandish sauce you can skip whipped cream. Bring it to boil, this should be saucy and not too watery. Boil for a few extra minutes if its watery. Add Italian seasoning, pepper  and keep aside In a baking tray spread the pasta and then add cooked vegetables and pour the sauce on it.Lift the tray and shake it or use a fork to spread the sauce. Arrange capsicum pieces on it. Spread the grated cheese allover this so that it forms a layer and covers. Bake it for 25 to 30 min in a pre heated oven @ 350 deg. Serve hot
Note : The above preparation serves 3. Do not put the pasta layer on top as it turns out hard due to heat.
