The Ex Expat

4 July 2012

In a very tenuous link to the 4th July, this week’s midweek meal includes some American hot dogs…chopped up!

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 200g pasta, e.g. fusilli or similar
• 1 leek, trimmed and sliced
• 4 hotdog sausages, sliced
• 1 small tin sweetcorn
• 200g grated cheese, e.g cheddar or emmental
• 1 small tub creme fraiche (ca. 250ml)
• 1 egg, beaten
• salt and pepper
• 2 tomatoes, sliced

Directions

• Pre-heat your oven to 180°C
• Boil your pasta according to packet instructions until cooked.
• Mix the pasta, sliced leek, sliced hotdog sausages, sweetcorn and grated cheese in an oven proof casserole dish.
• Mix the creme fraiche with the egg and season with salt and pepper.
• Pour the creme fraiche mixture evenly over the pasta and let it seep in.
• Lay the sliced tomatoes on top.
• Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes.
