You&#8217;ll have plenty of sauce leftover to make a delicious pasta the next day, or that same day if you are feeling very peckish.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Pairings for this main course<\/h2>\n<p>This recipe doesn&#8217;t include vegetables, other than the onions. You can of course choose your favourite vegetable to enjoy on the side. Great options are steamed broccoli, baked potatoes and steamed rice.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, feel free to add some pre-boiled carrots and potatoes in the casserole with your protein.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you opt to add the potatoes too, you won&#8217;t be able to use the leftovers for pasta.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Other similar recipes to try<\/h2>\n<p>I am including a list of chicken recipes, as well as one pot baked recipes, for you to try.
