This slimming-friendly Turkey Ratatouille Pasta Bake is a delicious meal whether you’re calorie counting or following a plan like Weight Watchers.
If you’re looking to include some extra veggies in your meals, then this pasta bake is perfect – the whole family will love it!
We think turkey is a much under-used and under-rated meat. Not only is it economical, but it’s so tasty and deserves to be cooked more than once a year.
If you don’t have turkey, this Turkey Ratatouille Pasta Bake would work just as well with chicken or even fish!
This pasta bake reheats well so is good for lunches the following day or a second dinner. This dish serves eight, so is an excellent way of feeding a large family whilst on a budget.
We use turkey in loads of recipes – why not try something new?

We made as is and this was a tasty, fairly plain pasta bake that went down well with all of us, good for when you want something simple but nutritious. Not too complicated either.

So glad you enjoyed it!
SamanthaTuesday 25th June 2019
Decided to make this but in my slow cooker. Cooked pasta separately before adding to mixture and deliberately not adding cheese as bulk cooking and going to freeze. Thanks for the inspiration PON.
SammiSaturday 18th May 2019
My husband can’t stomach tomatoes but is ok with passatta (odd I know) do you think the tin of tomatoes could be substituted?
LaurenSaturday 26th January 2019
Tried this with chicken instead of Turkey and it was delicous!!
Emma BishopSaturday 26th January 2019
Followed the recipe loosely. I swapped carrot for aubergine, chopped all of the veg chunky and roasted it with the dried herbs before adding it to the chopped tomatoes, passata, turkey and pasta. Turned out sooo good! Definitely will make it again! ????????????
LesleyThursday 24th January 2019

Emily BennettTuesday 29th May 2018
