Pasta Al Forno from this recipe:

Rachel Roddy’s recipe for pasta al forno – baked pasta with meatballs and mozzarella | A kitchen in Rome

A hearty family favourite whose comfort-giving properties cannot be diminished even by average mozzarella

Only just finished eating it as i took way too much time making it. I could never be a restaurant chef cos customers would get fed up and leave. That and the fact that it looks like this:

Swedish rye crispbreads. Water.

Oatcakes and water.

A sandwich.

Cheese, and apple and some oatcakes.

Any of these meals shaped like a THINGY?

 

[RubyToogood]

Bumper crop of tromboncino Sounds like a lovely meal, I do love a risotto

It's going to continue featuring heavily on this thread in the near future (see Kitchen Garden thread).

Late one here, but we had:

Roast chicken (me)
Tuna steak (OH)
Roast potatoes
Sage & onion stuffing balls
Steamed broccoli
Creamed spinach
Gravy

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I had chicken pad Thai takeaway and loved every mouthful. Yum.

OH had a friend down for the weekend and I sent them out on their own because my god they were annoying together

 

[moonsi til]

I went to Ikea & had a veggie hotdog with onions & lashings of mouseturd & ketchup -it was a right mess eating it & a packet of leek & potato crisps. There was 2 queues with same number in each , I chose the left thinking this feels like wrong decision & yep the 3 people in front were ordering hotdogs , meatballs & doughnuts for many so I watched the wire to the right that could have been my fate fly away.

 

[Badgers]

Chicken rice and peas ting

 

[MrCurry]

Roast dinner.

 

[Badgers]

Roast dinner.

More info please

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I'm not sure now. Just had the weekly shop delivered and don't fancy any of my planned dishes.

What I want is the potato, carrot and pea curry from Cooking Like Mummyji but I didn't order any coriander with the shopping. Grrr.....

I may have to pop out for some.

And some baking soda (which I also forgot with the big shop) so I can make carrot and pineapple muffins.

 

[MrCurry]

More info please

Same as always. We are not adventurous and always do the same… pigs in blankets made with 8” grilling sausages which are like super long chipolatas, roast spuds, parsnips, carrots & onions. Yorkshires and gravy.

Back in the day it used to be roast chicken with PIBs on the side, but we decided we like them better so now they’re the main event with no need for other meat.

 

[onenameshelley]

I got one of those "too good to go" boxes that had 2 bulbs of fennel in it. We haven't had fennel before due to OH not being keen on that whole area of flavour. But fuckit. So I am making a chicken casserole with thighs, leek, mushrooms, fennel and I am making from scratch potato gnocchi to go on the top instead of dumplings and possibly with parmesan sprinkled on the top, but its all new to me, so who knows.

Small can have macaroni cheese and garlic bread.

 

[sojourner]

Sri Lankan chicken curry with Kashmiri basmati rice.

It was amazing - had some cold for a midnight snack and it might have been even better. I can see why it’s the sort of dish you see in The Sopranos that gangsters’ wives give to grieving families out of guilt cos their husbands have murdered their paterfamilias

 

[onenameshelley]

Absolutely ruined my hands making the gnocchi, I have cooks hands so not much hurts, but fucking hell, red hot spuds will do it.

As God intended!

 

[Looby]

I’m excited about dinner.
Roast beef, roast potatoes, yorkshires, stuffing, cauli cheese and broccoli. I might roast a couple of red onions too.

Lemon tart and cream for pudding.

Best of all is tomorrow there will be potatoes and stuffing for lunch. That’s always my favourite bit.

 

[May Kasahara]

Husband is going to make a stir fry, apparently

 

[sojourner]

Scones with butter and bramble jelly for pudding tonight. Decaff tea.

 

[kalidarkone]

I'm currently waiting for a deliveroo pieminster - steak and kidney, cheesy mash, onions, minted peas and gravy.

Feel low and hung over, despite having only a double tequila and lemonade last night

[Epona]

It's taken me an absolute age to decide, due to having a fairly random assortment of ingredients right now, but I have decided on:

Pasta dish involving leftover roast chicken, white wine, cream, pesto (have basil that needs using), may bung some peas in there as well and possibly a bit of spinach if there is too much left over for OH to consume in the morning. Pasta variety tbd, I know we have penne but not sure what else is lurking in the pasta storage.

Will be cooking extra pasta so that OH can have a fiorentina pasta dish (possibly with added broccoli) ready to heat through when he gets in from work - this will use up some different leftovers!

I might do some garlic bread too, we have part baked baguettes - I can cook half of one tonight for myself and stick the other half in the fridge to go with OH's meal in the morning.

 

[onenameshelley]

Well the fennel had 0 taste, is it supposed to be a bit celery tasting when cooked? Gnocchi came out OK, but i think would be better with a tomato sauce. And yeah Italian Nonnas must be fucking nails because working with hot sticky dough isn't a joke.

Slightly aniseedy flavour

Too late for this time, but personally I think the best way is halved (top to bottom) and roasted in olive oil with garlic and plenty of salt and black pepper until it goes soft - serve as a side like that as part of a roast meal or with sausage and mash or similar.

EDIT: It is also good raw in salads, or works really well in a fennel and carrot coleslaw - the aniseed flavour is stronger when raw.

 

[iona]

Chip butty, scampi, cuppa. Might have a bit of cucumber or something so I can call it a healthy balanced meal

 

[moose]

Slow-roasted peppers, courgettes, onions, tomatoes, garlic, olives and capers, stirred through some rigatoni, with garlic bread.
Ice cream. Lemondrop martinis with Luxardo cherries.

 

[moonsi til]

Totally banging Gousto recipe box of green lentil & mushroom lasagne with salad leaves & I added a few fries.

Tomorrow is the final recipe this week of saag aloo with pita bread

I’m really loving my Gousto boxes at the mo

 

[weltweit]

Chicken Kiev with mixed veg. Muller Fruit Corner, Sliced Peaches.
