Today I got home absolutely knackered and couldn't be bothered to even think about food. I poured myself a glass of wine and settled down to watch Lord of the Rings with my flatmate. Luckily she got a very long phone call and the film was paused for long enough to make me prise myself off the sofa to make dinner, I decided using my new Le Crueset pan would make getting up worth while!
Unfortunately as I have an electric stove I started with the heat way too high and almost burnt my onions, as you can see it was not such a pretty sight - luckily all was not lost and a tiny bit of water helped me along nicely!
I decided to persevere and lucky I did because I ended up with a most satisfactory meal despite that fact that I am going through one of those boring calorie counting phases. In case anyone is looking for a yummy but still healthy dinner this is what went in to mine and my flatmate's dinner:
100g Free From Fusilli pasta
2 Red onions sliced
2 Large garlic cloves sliced
3 Medallions of be good to yourself bacon cut up into little pieces with a pair of scissors
1 Red pepper diced
1 Tin tomatoes
Squirt of tomato purée
A shake of dried basil and dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Grated cheese
I cooked the pasta separately and fried off all the ingredients putting them in the pan in roughly the same order as they are listed here - once one bit is mostly cooked add in the next etc. When it was all cooked I stirred the pasta through along with a little bit of the cooking water and then grated cheddar cheese over the top. You'll be glad to hear despite a shaky beginning it was very tasty and even looked quite nice too!
Bon apetit!
