Chicken Bacon and Tomato Pasta Bake – one of the best family-friendly pasta bakes EVER!!
This was one of those recipes that kind of came about by accident. You know the ones I mean right? The ones where you look in your fridge for inspiration for dinner, grab a few ingredients, mix together and voila a meal.
Sometimes those creations can be a disaster, but then there are times when the end result is so delicious, you want to make it again the next day.
I mean you can’t really go wrong with bacon, chicken, tomatoes, pasta and cheese. Well, you possibly could, but you’d have to really try.
This is a real family pleaser and one I go back to again and again, as I know my whole family love it.
It can also be made gluten-free but using gluten-free pasta. I like to use brown rice pasta, as I find it is the closest to regular pasta. But there are various other varieties out there.
Hey if you wanted to be really good, you could skip the pasta all together and instead use some roasted butternut squash (think of all those speed foods)

Hi, I’ve just cooked your pasta bake for my dinner tonight it was so tasty I ate all of it! Yum! I’ve been going to a sw group for a few months and lost 1 stone 1 and1/2 lbs. I’m so glad I found your brilliant website! I’ve told all my sw friends about it and we’re all excited! Thankyou.
I cooked this tonight and it was delicious! I simplified it slightly by just chucking all the sauce ingredients in together rather than seperating the chicken, and I used cheddar rather than mozzarella, but otherwise as written. Thanks!
Looking forward to trying this next week! Just one question though, if the tom puree is 1 syn and the whole recipe is 1 syn, what about the mozzarella cheese?
Thanks x

the mozzarella is part of your daily HEa serving
really good have been nibbling but this for tomorrows lunch
made this again for last nights dinner really good
have 2 say it was great will do it gain
Well this was amazing! Something magical happened to the sauce while it was simmering. I usually have to add sugar and all sorts of condiments to tomato sauce but this didn’t have the usual bitterness so was perfect!
that’s great to hear, glad you enjoyed it
I cooked your chicken and bacon pasta bake recipe at
the weeekend. It was so tasty, and went down a treat with my family.So I will be certainly be cooking this a lot more often.
Where do u buy the passata Siobhan?
Hey Joanne – It is stocked near the tomato paste/pizza sauces in most Canadian supermarkets (in tall jars) – costco also do a tray pack of 6 I think. If you are in the US, look for tomato puree (not paste) or crushed tomatoes in tins (think there are some cartons too)
Hi
Do you cook the chicken before adding it?
Thanks
Hi Carrie, yes you do, you fry till golden, as per the instructions 🙂 – hope that helps.
Sorry, I missed that bit! Making this tomorrow, thank you.
you are welcome Carrie – enjoy 🙂
Tried this and loved it my 3 year old loved it too xx
Done this today. Absolutely georgous. Me and my 11 yr old son polished off a dish full each and there are 2 portions in the freezer. Definately recommend and will make again. Thanks for the recipie.
Made this yesterday for dinner. It was delicious, and husband who says he doesn’t like pasta bakes, had seconds.
TBH I didn’t have courgette but did have a leek so used that instead. Will definitely be making this again.
Wow just wow!! This was so easy and so tastie, another dish that was a hit with all 3 of my boys and husband
Can this be frozen I’m looking to do batch cooking and really need some ideas cause I’m a fussy eater I have about 4 stone to lose
Hi Kate, pasta is always best eaten once cooked, but I have frozen this and other pasta dishes plenty of times, it just means the pasta will not be al dente. So as long as you are okay with that, it’s good. 🙂
Another fabulous dish thank you.
All I can say is YUMM. Did not change anything but did add breadcrumbs on top of cheese in oven. Thanks for posting
We made this pasta bake tonight and it was delish! I really enjoyed this, we used wholegrain fusilli pasta! Adding the tobacco and balsamic vinegar makes the sauce so much more yum! Will defo be making this one a week!
Made this tonight and it was really lovely and a total hit with the family. Forgot to put the courgette in but it was still amazing, Thanks for sharing another wonderful recipe. For some reason I cannot give it a star rating but if I could it would be 5 out of 5.

So happy to hear it was a hit with the family. I’m sorry to hear the rating feature wasn’t working for you, you should just be able to click the number of stars you want to give and it comes through with your comment, but I will look into why it might not be working.
It’s a family favourite, so I am really happy to hear you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
I’m thinking of making this on Monday, but I’m quite lazy. Do you think it would be ok if I made it using chicken thighs (I have some that need using up) and put all the ingredients minus the pasta into a slow cooker before mixing together in the casserole dish and adding cheese?
Sounds okay to me, should work fine. Let me know how it turns out.
Made this last night using Turkey breasts that I wanted to use up, I also ran out of Tobacco sauce, so used just a tsp of Chilli powder instead…. It all came out great and was a hit with everyone. Will certainly make it again.
I made this and it is delicious! Have recommended it to friends and colleagues
Just made this the other day. It was fabulous. Had to leave out the mustard as i didn’t have any and used just cheddar cheese. It had a great depth of flavour which is often missing in low fat recipes.
This has become a family favourite in my house, it is lovely & filling and easy to make.
Thank you x
thanks Kate – glad to hear it’s a family hit.
Is there a ‘best practice’ for real-heating this? I usually only use half, so have half left over. Thinking of covering in foil and cooking on GM4 for 45mins…..♀️
I freeze any leftovers and then defrost and reheat in the microwave or defrost and heat in oven. It’s all fully cooked so you just need to ensure that however you reheat, that it is piping hot throughout.
