When I first left home and moved out on my own for a few weeks I was absolutely skint and resorted to tinned rubbish, beans on toast, ravioli, soups etc. To liven things up a bit I took all the labels off and jumbled the tins up, then randomly selected two for dinner time. Hot dog sausages and custard was an interesting combination!

Our freezer is just the middleman between oven and bin - don’t know why I bother really, freeze stuff and then about a year later chuck it out!

“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

Yeh, it did get a little bit dry actually, but the flavour was so intense I didn't mind, I'll add a little more stock/wine the next time. Wanna try some other Italian stews now.Originally Posted by Marco
Nice one, Mike. A good Ragu sauce has many elements to it. The secret is to let it reduce well down, to intensify all the flavours, but not allow it to dry out. Pancetta is also a key addition. If you like it spicy, next time instead try adding some Salsiccia Piccante: https://www.thefoodmarket.com/produc...xoCoJoQAvD_BwE
Gorgeous stuff that really ramps up the flavour!
Oh, and it's RigatoniHowever, if you're aiming for it to be authentic, then you should be using tagliatelle or pappardelle, as that's how it would be served in Italy

Half Made Up split pea soup yesterday so I blended it today and its ready for eating now.
Tastes real fine.
I decided to soak peas again to speed up the cooking process and save money

Not a big fan of broccoli to be fair, so was just a token gesture!
I haven’t done chips in the Foodi for ages, but it does a brilliant job of them, and relatively healthy as you use hardly any oil in an air fryer. Not that it makes up for the lack of veg!!!
Going to have a go at a “proper” chicken Tikka Masala tonight, we’ll see if it passes the Marco moistness test later!
