Baked pasta with mackerel and vegetables. Wholemeal pasta au gratin recipe, ingredients and step-by-step preparation method.

Today it's raining, it's very cold and I thought that some baked pasta would be suitable for lunch. They are substantial, they are made very quickly, and if we combine them with a tomato sauce, vegetables and Lotka mackerel fillets, they will be appreciated by the whole family.

Whole meal pasta is my favorite, but if you don't like it, you can use whatever type of pasta you want, short or long. I made today's recipe with whole penne; I never miss them in the kitchen. The Lotka mackerel fillets, in olive oil, gave them an amazing taste, we enjoyed a delicious lunch!
