The dear SO was found rootling about the kitchen, looking for something to eat, so I set-to and made up the following recipe for supper!
 |
| My dressed spam bacon pasta salad supper |
1 tin of Spam diced
2 rashers of smoked back bacon cut into
lardons
1 small red onion sliced
10 small tomatoes, halved
Handful of sliced mushrooms
2 handfuls of Spaghetti – gluten-free
or regular
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Sea salt and ground black peppercorns
Herbes de Provence
 |
| Cooked pasta, Parmesan cheese and my new glass Salad bowl |
 |
| Bacon, mushrooms and sweet potato |
 |
| Roasted tomatoes and sliced red onion with herbs and olive oil |
How to prepare:
1.
Put on pan of water for the pasta and sweet potato.
2.
Cook halved tomatoes and sliced onion with 2 tspn Herbes de Provence,
sea salt and ground black peppercorns with a good shake of the olive oil for
approx. 10 minutes
3.
Peel and dice sweet potato and cook in boiling salted water, removing when
done. Then cook spaghetti for 10 – 12 minutes.
4.
Cut bacon into lardons and cook in a little olive oil with mushrooms for
about 5 - 7 minutes. Add sweet potato and
keep warm.
5.
Grate small amount of Parmesan.
6.
Drain pasta when cooked and return to your pan. Add bacon mixture, then tomato mixture and
toss all carefully together. Tip into
serving bowl.
7.
Dress pasta salad with grated Parmesan, black pepper and a light
sprinkling of Herbes de Provence and serve at once onto warmed plates
Useful additions: I think green peas would have made a very
welcome addition, along with
1 or 2 tspn. of single cream; neither were in my
store cupboard, but they will be for when I cook this dish again.
A store-bought sauce would also make
a good addition, or a tin of plum tomatoes or perhaps some crisp home-made
croutons.
