A cozy, easy baked pasta made with cabbage, tomato, canned fish, and whatever pasta you’ve got in the fridge—hearty, budget-friendly, and all baked in one dish!
Prep the Ingredients: Boil the pasta according to the package directions. Meanwhile, roughly chop the cabbage and cut the tomato into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the Dish: In an oven dish, layer the cooked pasta, cabbage, and tomato. Lightly season with a pinch of salt. Open the can of miso mackerel and pour the mackerel, including the sauce, over the top. Break the mackerel into smaller chunks and spread evenly.
Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle cheese over the top, and return to bake for 1–2 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Serve: Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
If you’re using leftover pasta, toss it with a little olive oil to loosen it up before baking.
Keep an eye on the baking time—the top can brown quickly, so avoid burning it.
If you want to add more vegetables, spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini all work great.
Make ahead! Prep the dish in advance, then add the canned mackerel just before baking.
