Ingredients

Oil, for greasing

2 red peppers, quartered and de-seeded

300g Free from Spaghetti

160g baby spinach

250g tub ricotta

4 large eggs

100ml milk

125g extra mature Cheddar, grated

1 red chilli, de-seeded and finely chopped

8 sun-dried tomatoes, well drained, roughly chopped

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease a 23cm round, deep cake tin – not loose-based or the mixture will run out.
2
Grill the peppers, skin-side up, until the skin blackens. Put in a plastic bag, then seal - this helps loosen the skin. Once cool, peel and cut into small pieces.
3
Meanwhile, boil the pasta for 9 minutes. Drain well, then put in a large bowl.
4
Cook the spinach in a dry frying pan, stirring, until it wilts. Add to the spaghetti.
5
Beat the ricotta and eggs with a fork until smooth. Stir in the milk, then add to the pasta mixture.
6
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Put in the tin and bake for 30 minutes, or until set in the middle.
