While I was settling in the daughter in Newcastle, England, I had to prepare her for living alone. Eating out was not an option as it is expensive. Yet the foodie needed her share of fancy food, but it had to be easy to cook. The supermarkets offered great options for meats. A little ham would go a long way. Piping hot pasta with a simple green salad was a perfect yet fancy meal.
1 cup pasta ( cook till just about cooked)
1 cup milk
2 tblsp flour
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
salt pepper to taste
red chilli flakes ( optional)
2 tblsp cheese ( optional)
few pieces of sliced ham Chopped ( Optional) , you could use sausages , bacon, bits of chicken or even fresh shrimp.
1 tblsp olive oil
2 cloves chrushed garlic
1 knob of butter
In a pan heat the olive oil. Toss in the ham/ meat and fry for a minute, add the garlic. Add the cooked pasta and toss it together. Add the chilli flakes . Keep warm
Mix together Milk, flour, salt - pepper, nutmeg. Heat a small knob of butter and pour in the mixture. On a slow flame, stirring constantly till the sauce thickens. Add in the Pasta mixture. Sprinkle Cheese, cover and cook for a couple of minutes. Serve with a Salad on the side.
