Find a baking tin. Fill half-full of pasta. Pour this pasta into a pan and boil until soft (following instructions on packet if necessary). Cook a variety of veg. of approximate volume of the other half of the tin. Some combination of onions (fried), mushrooms (fried), beans, peas, sweetcorn pieces or baby, mange-tout, carrots, brocoli, cauliflower, or whatever comes to hand. Beat some eggs. Add some seasoning to taste: salt, pepper, garlic, pesto, curry, whatever. Mix everything made so far bar 1/5 of the eggs up in a big bowl (or two smaller bowls, or the tin). Coat tin with oil and pour everything in. Squish into a good shape. Grate or crumble breadcrumbs and cheese on top. Pour rest of eggs over. Put in oven for 30-45 minutes. Wash up.
I don't know about anyone else, but I like it. I had some of the leftovers cold this lunchtime, and it was good, though you can microwave it if you like.
I know how awkward, yes :) Given your having missed so many, I may do something like make an effort to plan the next one around tolkieny people (matthew, becky, etc) and arrange it when you are free.
