Directions
The best thing about this macaroni pasta bake is that you can add anything to it. The ingredients are a guide but it is great for any left overs, or even the last bits of frozen vegetables you may have. Left oven chicken works really well, but best to add a spoon of tomato puree with it.
I find this a great substitute to Macaroni n cheese, and can be eaten before or after the bake stage.
Tip: You can add more or less of the ingredients, this is just a guide. Add anything that is left in your fridge or the odds of frozen veg.

Where do you get the albainian salami from?
Hello, we buy ours from our local Turkish shop – they sell Albanian and Kosovan Sukuk. I find that most Turkish and Greek shops sell it.
