INGREDIENTS:

1 (8 ounce) package penne pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onion and garlic, and cook until golden brown. Mix in tomatoes, mushrooms, and spinach.

Fresh peas and cream, with parmesan added at the last minute, is surprisingly good (you gate get away with frozen petit pois, jist don't overcook). Or add peas to an classic four-cheese sauce that you can make yourself or cheat because most good delis sell them in some form.

If they'll eat fish, then salmon and dill cream sauce, or a sauce made with tuna and tomatoes, appropriately. spiced, can be delicious.

My absolute favourite is Rabbi's Cabbage, because I learned it from a beloved rabbi. You need a firm white cabbage; slice it fairly thinly and sprinkle with salt; let it rest in the salt for an hour and then thoroughly rinse. (I have no idea what this contributes, but it doesn't taste as good without it).

Then you need to start stir-frying the cabbage and cooking the tagitelle - you want to finish with roughly equal proportions of the two, which is the only way I know of jidging quantities. When the taglatelle is al dente and the cabbage cooked crisp/soft, drain them both thoroughly and mix. Add black pepper to taste and serve. I have no idea why this dish is so delicious but the first time I tried it I cooked it three nights running.

Sorry that it's an intuitive cook's recipe - i.e. no quantities - but hard to go wrong with and much more toothsome than the recipe might suggest.

Enjoy!

I made this recipe last week and thought it was yum.

Gnocchi with red capsicum and tomato pesto


Serving size: Serves 6
Cooking time: Less than 30 minutes



INGREDIENTS


1 large red capsicum
½ cup bottled semi-dried tomatoes
½ cup firmly packed fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 x 625g packets fresh potato gnocchi
Extra fresh basil leaves, to garnish


METHOD


1. Cut capsicum in half; remove and discard seeds and membrane. Place on an oven tray, skin-side up. Cook under a hot grill, until skin blisters and blackens. Cover with plastic or paper for five minutes. Peel away skin; chop capsicum.

2. To make pesto, blend or process capsicum, tomatoes, basil, nuts, cheese and oil until combined. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Add gnocchi to a large pan of boiling, salted water; boil uncovered until gnocchi float to the surface. Remove from pan using a slotted spoon and transfer to a large bowl. Add pesto to gnocchi and toss to combine.

4. Serve warm gnocchi garnished with extra fresh basil leaves.


I added a clove of garlic to the pesto.

I also made a basic tomato sauce by frying some onion and garlic in a frypan and adding a tin of tomatoes, a little vegetable stock and seasoning, I then mixed the gnocchi through the tomato sauce and served the dish with a dollop of the pesto on top (maybe a bit more sophisticated if you are having a dinner party).
I hope this helps.

The leftovers pesto was nice just mixed through some penne.
