Pasta: so quick, easy and versatile.
My three girls all wanted different 'sauces' with their pasta today but it was very quick and easy. Here are three simple things to do with pasta.
- Boil pasta in salted water.
- Meanwhile to make a tomato sauce, quickly fry 1 grated clove of garlic in a small pan, add half a can of chopped tomatoes, a sprinkle of sea salt, and some dried herbs. I used a little crushed bayleaf, Pasta seasoning and dried crushed basil.
- Chop up 50g mortadella into tiny cubes.
- Grate 50g cheddar cheese.
Version #1 was pasta mixed into the tomato sauce with some cubes of mortadella added and then cheese sprinkled over the top.
Version #2 was pasta mixed into the tomato sauce with a little grated cheese sprinkled over.
Version #3 was pasta with a cheese triangle melted and a splash of water to help the cheese melt, the remaining cubes of mortadella stirred through and a generous helping of grated cheese over the top.
Later when my son woke up hungry, version #4 was pasta with a small knob of margarine, cubed mortadella - reheated in the microwave and then grated cheese sprinkled over - that was a 2 minute meal!
What could be simpler?!

Assalamu alaikum:
It looks like delicious, when i cook pasta, i choose pasta with bolognesa sauce or with with sauce...delicious....
Don't mind giving them a choice if it's simple Rainbow - at least it was a choice with the same theme and not everybody wanting something completely different!
Latifah... Mmmmmm Bolognese sauce! Actually, I am wondering if you'll share any Peruvian cuisine on your blog. When I was a teen, Peru was number 1 on my list of countries i wanted to visit. :]

Masha'allah that's a practical solution :D
but my dad entirely hates pasta he considers it a snakc rather than a meal :d
Assalaamu alaikum,
Umm Abdullah: Lucky... I don't know about that...! lol
Ruba: I guess there are some snacky pasta recipe but there are some pasta meals that would make a very hearty and filling snack that I wouldn't be able to consider a main course afterwards!
