Tuna steak with a vegetable stir fry and egg noodles. 20 mins cooking time and minimal effort.

My speciality, tuna psta bake. The recipe:

Make a sauce much like white sauce for a lasagna with the butter and flour and milk and a good helping of grated cheddar.

Boil some pasta shells until 90% cooked and stick half a head of brocolli on to cook too.

Grab a baking dish, lob two cans of tuna in the bottom, in goes the pasta and brocoli, pour a generous helping of the sauce over the top, add some tinned sweetcorn and frozen peas. Sprinkle some cheese on top and in the oven until the cheese on top goes brown and crispy.

After making a big pan of Bolognese for the previous night, the leftovers were fleshed out with various beans, and chilli spices.

This was piled on top of a plateful of homemade potato wedges and liberally sprinkled with cheese.

Came away from that plate a very happy chap, council or not.

Last night was chicken dopiaza (sauce from a jar) pimped with some whole spices and mountains of fresh corriander, home made naan and plain basmati rice.

Tonight is inch thick gammon steaks, saute pots, grilled tomato, fried egg and peas.

Last night was sausage ragu, for 4:

Red pepepr
Yellow pepper
Red onion
2-3 garlic cloves
Chilli flakes
Tinned tomatoes
Tomato puree
Red wine
Big pack of cocktail sausages
Fussilli pasta

Slice veg and put in a wok with olive oil for 5 minutes to soften, add crushed garlic and chilli flakes; stir in for a couple of minutes.

Put the pasta on.

Stir into veg the sausages and cook for a few minutes, pour in 150ml of red wine and leave to bubble down.

Add tomatoes and puree and leave to cook on a low heat whilst the pasta is cooking; add freshly ground salt and pepper.

When pasta is done, drain and stir into sauce, put in more salt and pepper and take to table.

It's just an easy and surprisingly flavourful, help yourself dish; bit of parmesan grated on top.

Chicken Parmigiana.
An Australian pub classic.

2 x Breaded chicken breasts.
Basic tomato sauce (can be made from scratch, otherwise a jar of Neapolitan sauce will suffice)
Parmesan cheese.
Cheddar cheese.

1. Preheat the oven to 150°c/Archaic American measurement/gas mark whatever.
2. Fry the chicken in butter until golden brown and reasonably cooked through.
3. Transfer the chicken to a greased oven tray.
4. Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce over the top of the chicken.
5. Mix the Parmesan and cheddar together, spread evenly over the top of chicken.
6. Place in oven for 10-15 mins or until cheese has melted and started to brown.

Should look like this (not mine... shamelessly stolen from a website).



Serve with chips, salad or greens.
Serves 2 (or one fat barsteward).

Some sort of butternut squash fritatta that the better half has planned. She tends to pick a few recipes on a Sunday that we then buy the ingredients for and rustle up during the week. Last night was pork loin and roasted veg that we cooked on Sunday.

Tried making Jamie Oliver's gnocchi last night. Complete faff, and very messy. Got the wife to pick up some sauces as I'd run out of time.

Easier to buy wink

He'sa, is right to post a new thread, it isn't the same.

I also cook the evening meals and one thing I find myself doing nearly every day is thinking, 'what am I going to cook tonight'?

I think it's a good thread. smile

Oh and, Tea.
