Right I'm going to start the ball rolling..
I cooked this last weekend and photographed it. I didn't like the results that much, not in taste. It actually tasted lovely .. I love it. But in terms of how it looks, its a bit simple, I thought being PH's it would need to be more adventurous or meat based. Maybe next time.
As I won't get time to make anything else or photograph it.. and there is no other suitable thread to post it in.. I'm going to put it in here anyway.. so.. here goes.
A very simple pasta dish
Its a variation on Jamie Oliver's Spaghetti Puttanesca. I don't like spaghetti so I used fettucini.
De Cecco fettuccine all'uovo is the dry pasta.. I think its one of the best.
Cans of Tuna in olive oil
Anchovies
garlic
Passata
pitted black olives
chilli
lemon
flat leaf parsley
olive oil
Anchovies, olives. tomatoes, chilli's garlic.. all sweated and broken down, add tuna and stir, squeeze fresh lemon in to taste.
Mix in Fettucini and torn flat leaf parsley
Carefully plate up a child's portion to photograph
