And silly me thought he meant a tin of spaghetti! He has these odd food suggestions at times and, let's face it, it can be seen as a quick snack food item? One that I've not eaten for years and I do think my tins of mixed beans and red kidney beans might look askance at spaghetti shapes and strands!
However he did not mean tinned spaghetti and, despite the fact of having a meat pie to put together and sausages to cook, off to Morrisons I went for minced beef, mushrooms and a jar of ready made Bolognaise sauce. This is a shock, of course, for I never use such things because sauces are so easy to make but, time was of the essence, and I had been planing to make a trial bake of a Panettone recipe found in a new bread making book.
The book - "Bread" by Anne Sheasby - ISBN 978-1-84899-189-7 recently found in our nearest TK Maxx Store (a fascinating place for all kinds of interesting finds for everything!).
Of course, my trial did not happen but I did make a delicious and very easy Spag. Bol. for supper and handy left-overs for lunch on Thursday! I rate that ability very highly for, when you're home and busy with no time to rustle up something good for a working lunch!
It was an inexpensive meal for the meat was on for a "special offer" price of £2.49 for Morrisons British Minced Steak for 675g., the Button Mushrooms on a reduced-price for an immediate date-usage label and cost me just 55p, and for the spice content, a packet of Schwartz Spaghetti Bolognaise Recipe Mix was used. The sauce was Dolmio's Spaghetti Bolognaise.
Altogether, it took about 20-25 minutes to prepare and cook, as well as the pasta and grating our cheese; cooking the meat and sauce in my Prestige High Dome Pressure Cooker. It all went down very well, our taste buds relishing the glorious combination of textures and flavours, from a dish we'd not cooked for a long time. Isn't it odd how one can completely forget a favourite meal, from time to time.
Watch this space for more delicious and forgotten favourites!
And here's my photo-shot of our scrummy supper!
Happy eating

PS I finally baked my first Panettone late last night, after supper!
