Tuesday Night: Baked pasta with veggies

With all the getting ready and then travelling last weekend, I didn't get the chance to do any cooking using the contents of our first biokiste until last night. Since we're getting the veggies every week instead of splitting them with someone else like we did in CA, this puts the pressure on to finish the box before next week's arrives tomorrow.

I made a straightforward baked pasta dish with diced smoked bacon, diced carrots[box] and sliced leeks[box] sauteed in the bacon fat, diced smoked ham, and a sauce made from quark[box], minced garlic, and chopped parsley and chives. I mixed this all into some "straightened elbow" noodles (for want of the proper name), topped with fresh bread crumbs mixed with olive oil, and then baked it.

The quark didn't remain creamy when exposed to heat, but the dish was quite good anyway.

We also had a green salad and some bread with the pasta.
