Bucatini Conchigle all'Amatriciana

wow this was sensational - must say it was the one of the four roman pastas I was least interested in, but it's glorious despite there being barely anything in it

 

[May Kasahara]

Toast and marmite. Followed by a hot cross bun.

 

[Aladdin]

Shepherdless pie
Cauliflower
Beans
Airfried chips

It was delicious

 

[mrsfran]

Cottage pie, carrots and peas. And maybe home-grown asparagus if I can get down the plot

 

[May Kasahara]

Out for tea with a mate, so possibly Wagamama.

 

[sojourner]

Spicy wedges, veggie cheeseburgers, salad.

Profiteroles for afters. Then it's Diabetes Friday Night Snack time I appear to have swapped drinking for eating. Must be nice to live a life free of any fucking addiction!

Please tell me more.

Delivery noodles. I could say that the cupboard is bare but that would be a lie. I just can't be bothered cooking.

Quite tired after my volunteer shift today. Am defrosting some thick pork sausages which I will have as a traybake with new potatoes, peppers, garlic, chilli flakes, and onions.

I'm making a big portion because why not.

Haven't decided what to drink, I still have about 1/3 of a bottle of very nice retsina left over from my birthday meal, I can hear it calling to me from the fridge...

So easy - it's from the little green roasting tin

Lay out a roll of supermarket puff pastry, spread 2 tsp mustard across pastry leaving an inch border around, cut up 250g in thin slices and lay out over the top. Mean while cut up 200g of carrots lengthways into slices, chuck in a bowl with olive oil and salt, mix well. Lay over the top of brie, chuck across some sprigs of sage, and season it all with pepper.

bake 200 for 30 minutes

The recipe says to use baby rainbow carrots, and I used rainbow carrots the first time, but since then just use regular. I find you should use more carrots than the recipe says to make it more filling.

 

[mrsfran]

That sounds amazing

 

[mrsfran]

Wait, how is it a tarte tatin? Tarte tatins are cooked "upside down" aren't they?

 

[surreybrowncap]

Rump steak and oven chips
Peas and red onions
Red wine

Don't blame me, blame the chef

It should also be made of apple.

The actual recipe called for chard, so I'd already made a substitute - I'd imagine kale will do just as well (although I used less than half the quantity of leaves - chard shrinks to barely nothing where cavolo and kale are both more robust)

made this soup again - I think it might be my new favourite

Silly question - but how do you quickly defrost sausages, meat etc on the day?
I ask because I sometimes forget to defrost something overnight and end up having buying something for that evening.
We are all trying to save money in these times....

In a plastic bag in a bowl of cold water. (Make sure water cannot enter the plastic bag, obvs.)
Sausages are pretty quick however you defrost them, just make sure to separate them as soon as you are able if they are frozen together in a lump, so they each defrost evenly and quickly.

I did a duck that way once in a bin liner in a bucket

Cottage pie with lots of carrots, celery and sweet corn

I feel like there's something missing from the bit in bold - 250g of what?
