Omelette

I’m not going to give you an actual recipe for an omelette, just make a suggestion that next time you make one, make it with parmesan! It’s so tasty.

Chicken pie

½ courgette

½ chicken breast

1 roll of puff pastry

Knob of butter

Some milk

Salt and pepper

Melt the butter, cook the sliced courgette and chicken then stir in the flour.

Gradually add the milk and then the salt and pepper, bring to the boil and let it thicken.

Leave this mix to cool.

Roll out the pastry, cut in half and fill with the mix then fold the pastry in half and fold in the edges, cook for 20-25 minutes at 200.

Minestrone soup my way

Passata

Vegetable stock

Chilli

Peas

Pasta – tortellini or that thin witch’s hair stuff

Heat the passata then add the vegetable stock - about 250ml per person.

Bring to the boil then add the peas and pasta, cook for 2- 4 minutes (depending on the pasta).

Add some salt and pepper and chilli.

Serve with a sprinkle of parmesan.

Olive bread (again not really a recipe)

1 pizza base (in Italy it’s called ‘pasta per pizza’)

A dozen olives

Some olive oil

I’m sure you can guess how this goes, roll out the pizza spread olive oil over, push olives into it and bake for 10 minutes.

I also live off mozzarella on toast with variations with ham, passata and pesto!

For breakfast I have brioche or some other type of pastry thing, at the weekend I have imported porridge J Italian’s normally have biscuits and coffee.

I have pasta every day for lunch, normally with a pre-made pasta sauce, pesto or with olive oil and pancetta, which is my fave at the moment, I also love prosciutto crudo tortello or tortellini it’s so yum!
