You either love it or hate it, the Hawaiian pizza. There is much controversy over whether or not pineapple belongs on top of a pizza and it has divided the opinions of many. Now I am pro pineapple on pizza.. I just love pineapple so much so imagine my delight when I came across this Hawaiian pizza pasta bake recipe on the Two chubby cubs website this morning… I just had to give it a go this evening so that was dinner sorted.
Now I did kind of adapt the recipe a little bit for my own liking and what ingredients I had (you can find the original recipe via the link above)
Ingredients: (serves 2)
- 125g dried pasta
- 350ml passata
- 4 bacon medallions chopped
- 110g pineapple chopped
- 70g reduced-fat mozzarella, diced or grated
- 40g of extra mature lighter cheddar grated.
- Fry Light
- Large pinch of Italian herbs
Syns: Syn free if you use the Mozzarella and Cheddar as part of your Healthy Extra A allowance.
What to do and how?
- Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the packs instructions.
- Spraying a large frying pan with Fry Light and cook the bacon, add the pineapple and cook for a few minutes.
- Strain the cooked pasta and put into the saucepan.
- Add the passata, bacon and pineapple to the drained pasta and stir well.

- Share the contents of the saucepan into two oven proof dishes.
- Sprinkle the cheddar over the top of each dish and place in the center of an oven at 190° for 15-20 minutes.

- Serve and Enjoy!
After thoughts:
I cannot explain how amazing this dish actually is, it really does remind me of the taste of a Hawaiian pizza. The ingredients all work so well together, the dish is bursting with flavour. This is definitely one of my most favourite recipes to date thanks to Two Chubby Cubs. They have come up with such a simple yet creative dish that works so bloody well..even better when you use the mozzarella and cheddar as part of your Healthy Extra A allowance it works out syn free.
