Failed at the diet again - rubbish!
Nearly ordered pizza but have decided that home cooked food is much better (with a little persuasion from Mike) and decided to invent something out of what we had in which turned out very well. Sometimes when you think you have nothing in, a tasty pasta dish is hiding in the cupboard!
We chopped up some bacon and put it in the pan with a bit of olive oil for a few minutes then added chopped celery, and paprika for a few more minutes. The the end of a bottle of white wine, some thyme that was nearly dead, and some dried oregano. Next we added some leftover chopped peppers and mushrooms and the end of a jar of Jamie's chilli and garlic pesto. Once the veg had softened I added a couple of jars full of water then the end of a tub of Philadelphia and let this melt in. Next the end of some grated Cheddar and finally a couple of ladles full of the pasta water followed by the pasta with some black pepper and gave it all a good stir - done (yes Mike I'm glad we didn't get pizza in the end but do hate it when you are right).
Men are sometimes right, but it is a rare thing!
