Monday night is Pasta Night chez Enid - any scrummy recipes you want to share as I am a bit bored with mine. Comforting and lardy welcome!

[TheHonEnid]

Would love a few new ones.

dead easy one:

bacon and leek and/or mushroom pasta

1 jar of tesco carbonara sauce
pack of bacon
leeks/mushrooms or both

cook bacon, add veg, tip in sauce, add a little milk and tip in the cooked pasta.

So easy, and so nice... lovely and cheesy too so uber comforting.

god - just read the other recipes on this thread and feel like a mong who can't cook. Oh well!!

A couple of weeks ago I had to think of my feet and I made the kids pasta, bacon, sweetcorn and cheese. They loved it and DS1 said it was his best ever dinner.

Bit of shredded cooked chicken, lemon juice & zest, chillies, capers and basil. My favourite.

Shredded carrot, lemon, cream, parsley. Had it in Prague and haven't managed to recreate it perfectly but it was delish.

get halloumi cheese. Slice, grill then chop/crumble into small pieces. Do this before everything else or it all goes pearshaped. Go to supermarket. Buy either frozen broad beans or frozen soy beans. Do this before also otherwise it all goes REALLY pearshaped. Cook said beans. Pull jar of CORIANDER pesto from cupboard. The coriander bit is very important - is not the same with other pesto. Go back to supermarket when you realise you've run out. Swear at Sainsbo's cos they've stopped stocking it and go to Tesco's instead. Cook pasta (fusilli, penne or conchiglie best), stir in pesto, beans and halloumi. Enjoy - 'tis delicious. Is even delicious cold. For a bit of extra zing, you can chop some Peppardew peppers, if your kids will tolerate a bit of heat. And obviously you chuck them in, rather than just, er, chopping them.

should add, in a Nigella moment of clarity, that my recipe is made entirely of ingredients which can be kept in cupboard/fridge/freezer for ages (inc halloumi) so therefore is even more rewarding.

at kekouan. You might want to rephrase that...

We have arribiata one with chorizo and courgette sometimes or dry pasta with cherry toms, chorizo and brocolli and mozzarella.

Had past a last night but am knackered so have chilli and prawn pasta tonight!

Lenngrrrl- yes please put the spinach and lemon one up!

Ingredients
1 packet of nice sausages
1 packet of fresh lasagne sheets
1 jar of your fave pasta sauce (or make your own if you have time)
1 jar of white lasagne sauce
some nice cheese to put on top

Method
Brown the sausages
soften the pasta in hot water
pour the jar of pasta sauce in a large dish
put a sausage in a sheet of lasagne, roll it up and put it in the dish on top of the sauce.
Repeat for how ever many sausages you have.
then pour the white sauce on top and sprinkle lots of cheese on.
bake at 180-200 for 35-45 mins

Use a Campbell's condensed soup - chicken & mushroom is nice. Heat it up but use slightly less water than you would making it up as soup. Chuck in some frozen peas & any other veg you like & stir over the pasta. Yummy & quick

This Nigel Slater one is easy and delicious but not very healthy! Crushed red pepper seems to be American for chilli flakes, so not very kid-friendly either.

Yes - I have used a tin of soup when there was NOTHING in the house, dd said it was one of the nicest things I had ever cooked (kind of made me think that my cooking must be shameful, but heigh ho!)

Thanks Lennygrrl

I do fresh spinach wilted in with the penne, then add toasted pine nuts in butter and sprinkle with shaved parmesan.

Bloody hell, what a thread when I'm trying to lose weight.

roast 2 red chillis, puree with 1/2cup olive oil. strain thru muslin cloth.

Fry Prawns and garlic in the pan.

Cook linguine. Add altogether.

(I did it with green chillis the other day and used it with linguine and fried courgettes/garlic)

oops, forgot to add, need to juice 1/2 a lemon, and put that in at the end.

I like this Jamie Olive parsnip and pancetta pasta

(Although it's a special treat for us since we live in Switzerland where parsnips, being really just "animal fodder", are something of a rarity in the shops)

i love spinach too - but use dolcelatte/other blue cheese plus plenty cream in sauce

also anchovies (in oil with chilli) with plenthy parsley and garlic

other favourite - leftover sauce (pref tomato but not necessarily meat though bolognaise is nice) mixed with egg/milk and then bake (part cooked) pasta with lumps of mozarella and parmesan on top. oh and add peas. good refried following day too

so what is Nigella's lemon linguine recipe please - can someone post it?
