A little bit of ham, coloured pasta and creme



Again, I've been away, but making some pretty good stuff and eating of course, and taking some photos... Oh and I found out why you definetly should try out onion soup in France, well I tried it in Paris,... IT?S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I tried two, first one was full in flavour, not oniony, but rich and deep and dark red (ok, don't mind my colourful description, because the fluid itself was brownish)and cover with melted cheese... amazing! Recommended :) However I'll probably keep to visiting France for new flavours and not trying out this sort of stuff at home :D


And now, here we go... today I made this lovely, easy-made pasta: spinach and regular pasta, creme, some ham or similar... Done in a sec.
Boil enough pasta for two. In my experience it is important which pasta you do, because they actually do make more or less pasta eventually than, let's say 180g, you levy. Make tiny pieces of ham with your fingers or a knife (like I did) and bake them for a few minutes, but don't put them into the pan before the oil (use olive oil) heats up. It smells divine! Now crunch some cashew nuts, just make halfs or quarters, it's enough. Throw them in with the ham. By now you have your pasta boiled through and ready, but don't put them in a colander, instead just put them directly from the pot to the pan with a big 'holey' spoon :) That way you add some water from the cooked pasta so it doesn't get too dry aftrewards. Mix through.
Now add two spoon-fuls of sour creme and one or two of creme and mix well.
Leave for a few minutes, so that all the flavours mix and you're done!
