Sounds nice apart from the pine nuts. I'm never sure if I can eat them with my allergy.
I had chicken for dinner in the end. Invented a recipe with pasta, roasted cherry toms straight from the garden to oven, sweetcorn and strips of chicken pan fried with garlic. Topped it was mozarella and baked in the oven.

Damn it I eat so badly, I'm just not living 
Right, that does it I'm gonna go online and have a look for some recipes and learn to cook.
Pastie, chips, green beans and a pint at the pub. People are yelling at the Man U game.

Cooking's easy. it's the planning, shopping and preparation that's the tough bit.
You could just put olive oil on everything.

I eat everything with tomatoes at the moment. I've always eaten them every day, but the crop we grew have been so good and abundant I've been eating loads of them.

Erm, bland pre-packaged crap, that's practically all I know 
But really I'm not fussy and like most things.

If you can boil pasta and can open a tin and grate cheese, you can make pasta with tomato sauce.

That's what's always put me off to be honest Dolly. When I look for recipes there's always loads of weird ingredients in them that I don't have in - don't even know what half of them are - and it's quite a long way to the supermarket to get hold of them.
I made some for some Italian lads I met on holiday when I was 16 and they thought it was great.

Haha, was just reading some Nigel Slater recipes and notably they all needed olive oil. Wonder if vegatable oil will suffice?

You can laways keep basic and have other stuff frozen. Or make extra and freeze it.

Nigel Slater is very good, but nearly everything he comes up with is dripping with butter. Best use his recipes occasionaly.

Good point! What's in the tin though?
Olive oil is an essential ingrediant.
Quote: Moonstone @ September 30 2009, 8:53 PM BSTGood point! What's in the tin though?
Chopped tomatoes. Fry a chopped onion, add the tomatoes, and some mixed dried herbs (and a tin od tuna or some cooked sliced chicken or sausage), mix with the pasta and top with grated cheddar or parmasan. I've been making that since I was 13.
