Rocket Pesto
I wasn’t sure what to eat tonight, Stephen is out and usually when I cook something just for myself it turns out badly. I spent a while looking for easy pasta dishes but didn’t find anything that excited me so I decided on cheese on toast, my usual cooking-for-one standby. On the way home though […]

…from the supermarket. They were mean with the cheese, the tomato sauce tasted like tomato puree and the base was soggy. Don’t try this at home.
Read More..>>Salmon Pasta
I found this recipe on the BBC Good Food site today while looking for a simple dessert. It sounded interesting: salmon, lemon juice, horseradish and creme fraiche. Stephen is out tonight so simple seemed the way to go. It was ok but the flavours were just a bit wrong. I like horseradish with fish but […]
Read More..>>Tart’s Tagliatelle
We had various ideas about what to make tonight but ended up deciding that something relatively simple would be good. So we decided on pasta puttanesca. We’ve made this before with spaghetti, but we had somehow run out of spaghetti so had it with tagliatelle instead, which went really well. The sauce was just the […]
Read More..>>Crab Spaghetti
We bought a dressed crab yesterday at the same shop we bought the lamb and, not really knowing what to do with it, used it for crab spaghetti. We’ve done this a couple of times before with tinned crab and it’s tasty, quick and easy to throw together with just a few store-cupboard essentials (garlic, […]
Read More..>>Spaghetti with Roasted Peppers and Chorizo
I think this has the potential to be quite good, but it needs some refinement. I oven roasted the peppers and then added them to some softened onions, garlic and chorizo. Next I added some basil, s&p and passata and reduced the sauce before adding a dash of worcester sauce and mixing it through some […]
Read More..>>Meatballs and Spaghetti
We decided that since we had some mince in the freezer, we’d made meatballs similar to the ones we’ve made before. So yesterday Kerri made up the meatballs and today we made tomato sauce and then started frying the meatballs before putting them into the sauce. When we were frying them though, we realised from […]
Read More..>>Spaghetti, Prawns and Rocket
We both popped out after work for some social business today, so when we got home we needed something quick and easy for dinner. Kerri bought some prawns on the way home, so we made spaghetti with prawns and rocket. Much like this. Quick and easy and tasty.
Read More..>>Spaghetti Bolognaise
Stephen and I read the same novel while on holiday (Mark Haddon’s “A Spot of Bother”, very funny) and there were a couple of mentions of spaghetti bolognaise which led us both to crave it. This used to be something I ate on an almost weekly basis, particularly when I was a student, but neither […]
Read More..>>Chilli
On Wednesday night, Stephen was out so I decided to make myself a quick dinner of chilli prawns and spaghetti. We’ve made it a few times before and it’s always been a success. Tonight, I added too much chilli. So much that I couldn’t eat it. I liked the picture though so thought I would […]
