Simple Sausage Pasta - Recipe

Image
We have recently discovered sausage pasta, a handy and quick meal which be me and Lilly love. The base recipe was found on BBC Good foods but I have customised it a little to suit us as a family,I hope you enjoy if you make it. This will serve 2-3 people You Will Need: - 4-6 sausages, cut into chunky pieces - 400g Tin of chopped tomatoes - 300g of Short pasta (fusilli or farfalle) - 1 Large onion, chopped - 1 Courgette, sliced - 2 Garlic cloves, crushed or grated - 2 Medium closed cup mushrooms (I cut small to make it a hidden vegetable) - 1/4 tsp chilli powder, mild - 1/2 tps Oregano - 1/2 tps Garlic powder  - Pinch of Salt Method: Start to brown off you sausage pieces in a large frying pan with a little oil. Cook the pasta how the packaging says Once they have started to brown nicely, add the onions, courgette, garlic and mushrooms and soften. Add the tin of chopped tomatoes and stir in well, then add the herbs and spices and mix well...

MSC Splendida look back | 8/1/12 | Tapas in Barcelona

Out next stop was Barcelona, I absoloutly loved this place. We had to get a coach from the port to the shopping area which took us near a cute little market which sold so any nick nacks. There was a few street statues/characters around like the the Roman (pic below) and a man dressed as the mad hatter too.  There was also a lot of little kiosks about where you got buy souvenirs and chocolate too. There was some random things like little men on the water in a very strange pose (pic below) and two escelators in the shoppong centre were turned off to create a nativity scene from the top to the bottom. We had lunch at a beautiful tapas bar right on the edge of the port area so we could watch the boats go past. The food was lovely and I actually ordered in Spanish too,my GCSE paid off for once. My other half is quite fussy with his food so we found a MacDonalds for him, the only issue we had was trying to tell them 'No Salad' so that they could understand. ...
