Alis girls Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I always find pasta a good thing - get ready made sauces - good quality mince and do lasagne and salad and get a ready made pud from supermarket. You cant expect corden bleau if you have small kids round your feet. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinsk Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Pasta bakes are great - boil some penne, dry fry some diced pancetta and some sliced leeks. Mix it all together with cheese sauce (there are some decent tubs of cheese sauce now) put in an oven proof dish, top with slices of mozarella and greated parmesan. It can sit and wait until you want to put it in the oven, serve with garlic bread and salad. Brown some chicken thighs, lob in some cubed potatoes, chunks of tomato, onion and lemon, sprinkle over some smoked paprika, salt and pepper, pour in a little stock and bake in the oven. Can do similar with sausages too. Cheats fish pie - mix some fish with a tub of creme fraiche, chopped herbs and spring onion, top with mash and bake.

Rhapsody Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Try my Gnocchi dish its on the board here, its just assembly then in the oven, serve with some nice bread and a green salad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinesupernova Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 If you want a pud - try Nigella's Sticky Toffee Pudding.http://www.nigella.com/recipe/recipe_detail.aspx?rid=263 I made it last weekend and it's very easy and delicious. Self saucing too - so just serve with pouring cream, custard or some vanilla ice cream. It's definately going in my recipe book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Nigella's sticky toffee pudding is in the oven as I type. It looks disgusting going in the oven, but smells good now. OH asked if we were having 'sugar soup' for dessert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Very nice, but enough for a small army...shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Very nice, but enough for a small army...shame My thoughts exactly Christian I made it yesterday as well - Carl loved it, he doesn't usually bother with desserts.......I had some for breakfast.... and we have enough left for tonight. It does look like a big cowpat when it goes into the oven though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinesupernova Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I'd agree - looks rather dodgy going in the oven - but seriously tasty and very easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
