Tonight was one of those nights where I couldn't really be arsed to cook but I had to feed the starving minions. A cupbord staple I always fall back on in these times of trouble is spaghetti. There are many ways to have spaghetti, and although I can't really call this a recipe I find that adding these ingredients together are the finest tea you could have after a long day. Sometimes simple IS best.
Spaghetti, green beans, bacon and pesto.
It's really all there in the title, but to make it easy for those of you who've NEVER cooked before then here goes.
Serves a hungry two!
6 Rashers of unsmoked bacon, cooked till slightly crisp and chopped
1 Packet of spaghetti (I prefer De Cecco)
I Jar/Tub of pesto. I used Marks and Spencers and it was Goooooooood.
1 Pack of fine green beans.
Fry the bacon till crispy, whilst that is cooking add the pack of pasta to a large pan of boiling water, cover and simmer for 8 mins. When the bacon is done to your liking remove and chop into bitesized pieces. When the spaghetti has had 8 mins add the green beans and bring back to the boil, simmering for a further 4 mins.
Drain the spaghetti and beans and stir through the pesto. Serve and sprinkle with the bacon pieces.
Pasta with pesto and bacon plus veggie bits is one of my favourite standbys too. Rather than rashers, I tend to use pancetta as it's already chopped.
ReplyDeleteMmm, I made my own pesto for this the other day and it was AWESOME!
