ha ha I did that pasta one too but added a bit of bacon to make it a bit tastier as I was mighty peckish!  

my boyfriends quite fussy so I have to cook quite simple things - nothing with fish either!

[Simon Pieman]

I made a mushroom stroganoff for mothers day. I didn't really follow a recipe, just had a quick look on the internet for ideas and added in things as I went along to get the flavour I wanted.

[Miss Angry]

fry some garlic, add a tin of chopped tomato, throw in some fresh spinach pour over a bed on tagliatelle. Lush.

Or

Fry off a chopped onion add a packet of Pancetta, add some garlic. Rinse some frozen peas under the hot tap then add to your frying pan as its nearing ready. Then mix with some pasta with loads of parmasan cheese.

This is one I do quite a lot, takes about 20 minutes

Minted Cutlets with Posh Peas

Ingredients
8-12 lamb cutlets
4 tbsp readymade mint sauce

For the potatoes
500g baby new potatoes
1 lemon
1/4 tsp sea salt

For the peas
250g frozen peas
1 small clove garlic
125ml vegetable stock
2-3 tbsp crème fraiche

1. Rub the lamb cutlets with the mint sauce and set aside to marinate for and hour or so.

2. Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water until tender. Drain and return to the pan. Grate the zest from half the lemon and scatter over the potatoes. Add salt to taste and shake the pan to distribute through the potatoes. Keep warm while you cook the lamb. Squeeze the juice from the whole lemon and set aside.

3. Heat a griddle without any oil until really hot. Cook the lamb for about 4 minutes on each side. If you prefer your meat well done, give it any extra 1-2 minutes. While the lamb is on the heat, cook the peas.

4. Put the peas and garlic into a saucepan and pour over the stock. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat, and simmer for 4-5 minutes, until just tender.

5. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, until just tender. Remove from the heat and transfer everything to a food processor and pulse until the peas take on a coarse texture. Stir in the crème fraiche and add seasoning to taste. Squeeze the lemon juice over the potatoes and serve with the lamb and the creamy pea mixture.

Singapore noodles so bloody simple and versatile they’re ace.

Just grab some thin Singapore dry egg noodles, boil them up for a couple of minutes) according to the pack and then just bash whatever you have to hand in a wok, stir fry, add a little stock and some flavour introduce the noodles for a couple of minutes.

I’m into my pies at the moment though.  I’m attempting to create the ultimate steak, egg and cheese pie.
