Meal 5: Wonky Summer pasta

Jamie’s 30 minute meals- week 5

I loved this weeks meal it was very tasty. My fussy little sisters friend Lucy came around this week and had dinner with us. We still had heaps of leftovers and we just had to make a bit more of the dessert. The pasta was very strong in flavour. I really enjoyed the salad. And every one enjoyed the dessert except for my mum who thought it was to sweet. But over all I think this was one of the best meals yet! The full recipe is:

  • Wonky summer pasta
  • Heby Salad
  • Pear drop tartlets

Wonky summer pasta

This pasta you need to eat straight away.I found this out by having it in my lunch the next day it did not taste as delicious as the night before. In the recipe it said to use two eggs however if you look at the photography you will relise he used three. This worked out great though because since my fussy little sister had her friend lucy around we made a bit more of the desert. A nice fresh pasta however if you make this dish depending on the size of the lemon don’t use two because it tasted extremely lemonly. So depending on the size of your lemon don’t add as much lemon.

Herby salad

I loved the salad. Lucy said she dosn’t really enjoy salad usually however with this one everyone wanted more! I liked the grapes in it, we wouldn’t usually have grapes in our salad however it was a pleasent suprise. I really like panchetta and Lucy tried it for her first time and really enjoyed it. The herbs were tasty. Overall this salad was fantastic and Lucywas telling her parents about it when she was being picked up.

Pear Drop Tartlets

These tartlets were delicious! We had plenty of meringue mixture left over which we used to make some extra meringues for lunch the next day. You do not need to muchjam because it can make it extremely sweet. I think my mum got a tart with a lot of jam because she found it extremely sweet. I could not find some really fresh pear so I just used the little SPC pear packs and drained them and it turned out great. Everyone wanted more of this dessert and I will be making it again!
