Leftover Pulled Pork Pasta Bake with Aldi

Two weeks ago I shared my easy Pulled Pork recipe. Today I am going to share with you my delicious leftover pulled pork pasta bake.

Pulled pork is such a great, budget meal. The pork shoulder joint cost just £3.83 for 1.562kg! and provided us with 12 meals!

Today's recipe is made using leftover pulled pork, but if you do not have any leftovers Aldi have got some British Pulled Pork on offer until Wednesday! The beauty of this meal is that you can bulk out your leftovers with delicious vegetables and pasta to create this pasta bake. Aldi's Everyday Essentials pasta is priced at just 29p for 500g, that makes this a super cheap meal! At the moment mushrooms and peppers are in the Super 6 offer, making them only 69p!

This is what I did...

180g tin sweetcorn, drained

1 x 400g tin of chopped tomatoes

200g mushrooms, chopped

1 red pepper, finely chopped

300g pasta penne

50g mature cheddar, grated

2 - Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan

3 - Gently cook the onions over a medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring regularly

4 - Add the pork, mushrooms and peppers and cook for a further 5 minutes
