Never really been a pasta lover !!! Italian lover...Yes....but not pasta !!!

So I'm going to give a pasta dish a chance.....

You got to admit this dish does not look that appetising.....but its got potential 

I recently saw a pasta dish being prepared on the tv and i got to say it looked delicious......and i want to hare it ith you....(no not my meal.....the recipe....lol )  ok   ok   u can share it !!!!

1.  cook long spaghetti in boiling water til  'a la dente'  ( "Al dente" is used to refer to food cooked so it is still "firm to bite" but not soft. )   

2. drain

3. cook diced pancetta/bacon/pepperoni (either of these can be used )  til crispy

4.  beat eggs and add a splash of olive oil/ veg oil etc and cheese and season with black pepper 

5.  add to spaghetti immediatley and stir.  

the heat from the cooked spaghetti will cook the egg mixture

6.  serve in warm dishes immediatley and sprinkle with coriander and parmesan/cheese  and crusty bread or ciabatta.....

Mamma mia.....

u can add other ingredients if you wish,,,,dried tomato , peppers, peas etc   

  

Crisp Sandwich

We were reared on these li'l savouries....( on a good week !! )

so the good old crisp butty is having a revival....yep every where i've been this week, Radio, TV, On line...I've heard people debating over this li'l snack.....
I wasnt surprised to discover that some people have never tried one.  But I was surprised to hear of some of the variations of it ....proper gourmet style!!!!
 Apparently there is even a shop which specialises in crisp sandich now....in Belfast....reportedly selling out within 2 hours of opening!!!!   

Wow...who would of thought.....

 

 
varieties now include: granary bread, pannini, ciabatta, seeded, wraps, toasted sandwich, ( not at the top of my list, cuz u miss the crispiness of the crisp if its on toast !!!   lol ) its endless tho....try it with cheese and onion....mmmmm
Well I for one will be sampling all of them....lol
