We Love Pasta

Well I love Pasta and I love to try it in so many ways. I was planning on roasting some prawns but "quelle domag...not in our freezer today, so I had a good look in the fridge and look what I found

In the fridge was a piece of carrot, a piece of courgette, 1/3 green pepper, half a leek, 1 lonely mushroom and and some bacon...in the freezer some frozen corn, and some breadcrumbs

Perfect

You can use what ever you like but this was such a good and colourful selection

Plus in the pantry I found some some spaghetti

So put on a pot of well salted water to boil for the pasta

Then prep your vegetable

Grate the carrot and courgette

Remove all the outside leaves of the leek, wash it and slice 

Slice the mushroom and the green pepper and you are ready to go 

Put a pan on the stove and bring up to medium heat

Chop the bacon and sauté 

When the water has come to the boil add the spaghetti and cook till just al dente around 6-8 minutes

Meanwhile

Remove the bacon and place in a bowl, add the mushroom

It does look a little lonely but it was worth it

Remove and place with the bacon  

Then add the chopped leeks

Saute them gently till soft 

Add the rest of the ingredients including the bacon and mushroom

Saute till soft

Throw in a good slurp of wine and turn heat up so that it evaporates

Meanwhile while this is happening

In a another pan add some oil... about 2 tbs, 

Heat till just about smoking and then add the breadcrumbs

Toss well and cook till they are just nice and toasty

When the pasta is cooked

Using your tongs, add it to the vegetables and toss well

Place on your plate

Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs over the top and enjoy

Lunch is served and very good it was too
