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
