Eggplant and Pork Timbale - ground pork, vegetables and macaroni pasta with cheese encased in delicious slices of eggplant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Eggplant<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pork Timbale<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is my variation on a yummy recipe I found in this Homestyle Pasta Cookbook<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. I reduced some of the not so friendly Slimming Eats foods and added a bit more seasoning and veggies to make it full of healthy speed foods. It is a bit fiddly to make, but so worth it, as it tastes amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I use different ground meat (mince)?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don't like pork? feel free to swap for beef, chicken or turkey, either will work perfectly in this recipe. You can even use a meat free vegetarian substitute like soya crumbles or quorn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I use different pasta?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Typical macaroni is used in this timbale pasta dish, but you can swap it for another pasta of choice that is of a slightly similar shape, penne works well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I use different cheese?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this recipe I use a combination of parmesan and cheddar. If you don't like the strong taste of parmesan feel free to swap it for a milder cheese of your choice. Mozzarella will work well or any other cheese that is good for melting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
