I need to extend my range of pasta dishes and am finding it difficult because dd2 and I like such different things.
She won't eat mushrooms, artichokes, asparagus, all the things I think are the best things ever to have with pasta. I won't eat tinned tomatoes.
So far I have:
macaroni cheese
butternut squash
a pasta bake with roasted veg, red pesto and cream cheese
pasta pesto with whatever else (uncooked) people want to add into it - cherry tomatoes for her, jarred artichokes for me etc
a sauce made out of melted Philly to which dp and I can add fried mushrooms and dd2 just has Quorn ham and frozen peas
Carlucio's courgette thing, but she doesn't like it much
What else can I make? Anybody got a nice recipe for a fresh tomato sauce with mascarpone, maybe? Any other ideas greatly appreciated - pasta is her favourite thing but we rarely have it because it's so hard to find common ground.
Oh and I am currently food processor-less, so nothing that needs blending, please!
