Speedy Spaghetti is Better with Feta

Whilst spaghetti is cooking grate a couple of courgettes and a block of feta. Finely chop a load of herbs (mint, parsley, basil, etc). Throw everything into the hot, drained spaghetti with lemon juice, s&p and a glug of olive oil.

Summer on a plate.

This is good too

Fry bacon lardons on olive oil, add chicken pieces, pour on a carton of chopped tomatoes with garlic and onion to be quick (lazy). Tip in the boiled pasta and stir; I usually take my children's out not then add some pepperoni for me and hubs to finish it off!

Tastiest thing ever!

Love this thread

This one might have to make classics!

Just made cacio e pepe in our minimally equipped holiday apartment. So very very good. Please try it! 10 minutes from boiling water to plate.

Thanks! Lots of great ideas here!

Fry Smoked Bacon and White onions (chopped into big chunks). Boil pasta, mix it all together with Creme Fraiche and rocket leaves. Can also be done with Philadelphia or Chopped Tomatoes instead of Creme Fraiche.

Very quick & easy.
Cook pasta, drain.
Stir through a small tub of crab pâté, a spoon or two of cream, or fromage fraise, or a little cream cheese, a splosh of white wine, garnish with cooked prawns if you have some.

Marking place as some of theses sound amazing.

Gently fly a couple of cloves of garlic and some finily chopped red chilli (around 1/2 one is fine)
Add in Prawns, cook till pink
Add in passatta, cook for 2-3 mins

Job done, 5 minutes and you look the (Italian) domestic goddess.

Cheats macaroni cheese. Cook and drain macaroni. Put a knob of butter in the pan, add a big blob of crème fraiche and a couple of handfuls of strong grated cheddar. Stir on a low heat til the cheese has melted, add pasta back in and stir til coated, season to taste.

If you've got an extra 10-15 mins put it in a shallow ovenproof dish and top with extra grated cheddar and slices of mozzarella, grill til the cheese bubbles.

Cheat's lasagne too. Make or buy a meat sauce (if making keep it simple, chopped onion, garlic, lean mince, stock cube, chopped tomatoes or passata, splash of red wine, simmer til done).

Layer meat sauce, lasagne sheet, marscapone, lasagne sheet, meat sauce, lasagne sheet, marscapone, lasagne sheet, top with grated cheese of choice (any or all of cheddar, mozarella, parmesan in this house usually!) and stick in the oven.
