Very Small Feet

I just love Putanessca.... and it's so easy to make. Takes just few mins of your time, and if I can do it, you can do it!!  So first of all fun fact, Putanessca means prostitute in Italian. So we will be learning a prostitute pasta. The ingredients can be found in average Italian fridge and they cheap and cooking legend has it that ladies of the night used to have it before going out because it is rather nutritious.  So here is what you will need for the sauce Anchovies (I normally put 2 little filets in, or more if you want more flavour) Black olives (take the stone out, or get pitted, chopped) Apparently however the ones with stones in are more flavoursome, but hey I get like a medium size jar for only 59p.. don't judge me. Garlic (I love garlic, so I used two cloves just for me) minced Capers (brine-y goodness) Tomatoes (cherry, plum, or whatever, it's rustic, and besides we don't know what that prostitute has in her fridge) Chilli Flakes (gives t...

I love food. I love cooking but I have to be in the right mood for it. Or you know, hungry with stuff in the fridge. So if you read the last post you saw the picture of my last dinner adventure Seafood, leeks, garlic and linguine... oh and cream! Pretty much it actually, you just cook the pasta, while its cooking, chop up the leek, garlic clove. Sweat them off in the deep pan still soft. I used store bought cooked seafood (prawns, mussels, squid). Add it to the leeks and garlic, warm it up... add cream. In some crazy skinny madness I got single cream and it did not work that well, but still did the trick in binding all of this loveliness together. Toss pasta into the pan. Do not put any cheese in, do not be mad! Seafood and cheese do not mix... do not know why, but it is just bad taste! I did put lots of freshly grated black pepper on. 

And whatever hubby says there is always food in the fridge. Just have to make it! First I made a green soup few days back... Took some lovely broccoli  with some strange triangle like veg (also like broccoli) that I got in my weekly veg delivery form lovely people at  Riverford ! Great service by the way!  So I took an onion (also from my veg delivery), some garlic and sweated them together in our shiny pot, seasoned them too. Peeled and chopped a medium size potato and kept on stirring these guys in the pot, then added the green things:) Add the stock in. I simply used the chicken stock cube, simmer all these veggies till tatoes are soft. To make it extra nice I have blended it in our blender... oh it was not a margarita but still delicious!  I did not add any cream, butter or Stilton...it would have been nice, I am staying good... more or less:)  However hubby did bring some nice artisan bread with s...
