Hi Puddicat,

We have tagliatelle with a fish in white wine and cream/mascapone concoction.

It varies in what goes in, but generally it's this:

Scallops, prawns, salmon (cut into chunks) and cod (cut into chunks) or other white fish.

Shallots (finely chopped) and a courgette (finely sliced).

White wine and cream or mascapone. (or both)

Dill.

Seasoning.

Fry the shallots first and the courgette, put to one side then fry the scallops and prawns and salmon and cod.

Remove and then add white wine to pan (a half bottle) and reduce by a third or so.

Then pour in the cream/mascapone and reduce again. Add finely chopped dill, then the shallots, courgette, and fish. Season if required.

Stir and then pour over the tagliatelle.

You could vary by throwing some petit pois in with the sauce, serve maybe with carrot batons in lemon butter.....

Hiya Puddi.... I make up a good quality tomato sauce (or use a fresh one like the slightly spicy ariabatta one from T....o's), saut� a whole raft of fresh vegetables (onion, garlic, mushrooms, courgettes, peppers, celery etc etc), mix the veg with the sauce, add a can of cooked beans (rinsed and drained), say chickpeas or borlotti beans and then place a quantity of the cooked pasta in a bowl and spoon over the veggie stew, topped off with some grated parmesan. A small portion would be lovely for a light lunch or you could make it more substantial by serving up a larger portion with garlic bread.

Another way of eating tagiatelle would be to saut� some simply sliced courgettes and garlic in butter, add a load of freshly chopped basil and some cooked flagelot beans, then stir in some cooked tagiatelle. A really pretty green and white lunch awaits....

i grill some chicken, make up some ainsley harriot tangy tomato cous cous (just add water) and stir in a couple of spoonfuls of sacla sundried tomato pesto

it's probably one of my favourite dinners and it's soooo nice *drool*

[EmEd1984]

sorry meant to say the pesto is stirred into the tagliatelle, which goes on top of the cous cous with the chicken sliced (diagonally) and placed on that

Hi puddicat.

Do you ever make minestrone ?

A handful of tagliatelle crushed and cooked in with the soup
will give a bit more body and improve the flavour.

I have also used it in ribbelito intead of bread
