Head straight on to the recipe for Meatball Lasagne ♥ In all likelihood, lasagne are the oldest type of pasta. These long flat sheets can be made by hand or shop bought in the dried form. Here I have used lasagne sheets, meatballs and a béchamel sauce to create the ultimate in comfort food, my meatball … Continue reading Meatball Lasagne Using Dried Pasta Sheets
I am motorbike crazy and yet, I cannot ride. So imagine my delight this month when The Kitchen Witch was assigned to me for this month's Secret Recipe Club. Rhonda rides bikes, and says of herself that she is an above average home cook. She is a mum of 6 and a grandmother to 3 and … Continue reading Recipe For Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Pasta
I would love to smoke things but I don't have a smoker and each time I suggest to Dave that I turn my electric frying pan into one, he kind of ignores me. I do not use my electric frying pan at all. It was one of the first kitchen utensils I purchased and it … Continue reading Recipe For Smoked Marrow Bone Pasta
When I joined The Secret Recipe Club, my first post was a slight let down, as the person I was assigned did not bother to come along and comment on my post. Well, déjà vu struck when I moved to group C, and my assigned blogger not only did not comment, she did not post! … Continue reading Recipe For Fettucine With Ground Beef
Why I made Pasta Al Forno Con Pomodori E Mozzarella: I, like so many other people I know, have a collection of recipe books that I have never used. In December 2010 the dogs (read Dave) bought me Jamie's Italy. I love the way Jamie Oliver writes his recipes books, but I very seldom turn to … Continue reading Pasta Al Forno Con Pomodori E Mozzarella

I chose this recipe for pasta with sausages and cream as last year Dave and I spent our annual holiday in Assisi, in the Umbria region of Italy. It was here that we indulged in truffles, ate a lot of … Continue reading Recipe For Pasta With Sausages And Cream
We eat pasta at least once a week and for a long time, I wrote down exactly what we had made so that I could share my recipes with you. At one stage my draft folder had so many pasta recipes in it, I decided to stop writing down what I was making. Only on … Continue reading Recipe For Farfalle With Broccoli And Anchovies
I love cooking with my niece Sasha. Mostly because she is so enthusiastic in the kitchen, but also because it happens so infrequently. I go up to Johannesburg about twice a year and try and spend as much time with her as possible. She is nearly 5 and it is becoming a pleasure to spend … Continue reading Recipe For Sasha’s Pasta
Today, my heart split in two. Since moving to Gordons Bay in 2001 I have never once considered Johannesburg as being far away. We live in an instant society - we can pick up a telephone, and speak to someone straight away, or use skype and actually see them. We can IM, SMS, BBM or … Continue reading Recipe For Broccoli Farfalline
This is my second time at hosting Presto Pasta Nights and I am hoping that my second attempt at getting all the posts listed will look a little bit better. Janet who blogs on over at The Taste Space started the challenge off with her recipe for Sea Weeds and Greens Salad (Kelp Noodles with … Continue reading Presto Pasta Nights Round Up
