Butter dish and coat with bread crumbs, add ½ of the pasta to dish sprinkle some cheese and add remaining pasta, cover with baking paper and foil bake for 40 mins on 180.wait about 5min b4 doing next step  Place an oven proof plate on top on the dish and flip the dish upside down and remove dish
Add the extra sauce and any type of cheese you like i used mozzarella and blue vein cheese return to oven until the cheese and sauce are hot

You can add anything you have in the fridge, i like ham and peas when i make this in a baking dish i don’t add the beaten eggs, but i do add hard boiled ones

Uni, thanks very much for the recipe I would really like to try it on the weekend but have a few questions. With the eggplant and spinach do you just chop them up and I'm a little confused about the bechamel sauce, does some go into the dish when making or is it all poured over at the end when you put the cheeses on top? Sorry.

Thanks Uni. i really like the idea of the crumbs on the inside of the tin as well. Sounds quick and easy.
