Hearty fare

Two days until Valentine's Day and here in Yorkshire it's a cold 2 degrees with wintery showers. Heart shaped biscuits, cakes and chocolates adorn the supermarket shelves but what we really want is heart-warming food. Something made with love, shared with loved ones and comforting enough to warm the cockles of your heart.

Mary Berry came to the rescue today with Spinach and Three Cheese Bake. Penne pasta, homemade tomato sauce and a delicious filling:-

8oz coarsely chopped spinach

8oz full fat mascarpone

2oz Gran Moravia vegetarian cheese

Small bunch of basil chopped

2tsp cornflour

2oz grated Cheddar cheese

- Wilt, squeeze, drain the spinach and leave to cool

- Mix it with mascarpone, Gran Moravia cheese, basil plus the cornflour mixed with a little water.

- Heat in pan bringing to the boil and stirring until combined and a thick saucy consistency. Season.

- Mix cooked pasta with the tomato sauce and spoon into a baking dish. Season.

- Top with the spinach mixture and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.

- Bake for 30 mins at 220/200 fan/Gas 7

* You could use heart shaped pasta instead of penne

I certainly could feel the lurve!
