Italian Baked Pasta Recipe With Cheese & Bread Crumbs is a delicious way to make the kids eat veggies along with their favorite pasta and cheese. Using juicy tomatoes and garden fresh herbs enhances the taste of the pasta. I have added mushrooms to make this pasta wholesome. If you are a non-vegetarian, you can substitute the mushrooms with chicken too.

The Italian Baked Pasta Recipe With Cheese & Bread Crumbs is mildly spiced with pepper. Breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese topping give the required crunch to this baked goodness.

A perfect weekend treat for the whole family with a fresh salad like Carrot Ribbon Salad or Savory Melon Salad or Avocado, Grapefruit and Walnut Salad.
