Tried & Tasted
A fortnightly Tuesday recipe, from books, magazines or other source. Tried, tasted and shared with you.
Butternut Squash Cabonara
I can’t have a tried and tasted series without pasta, when my body is mainly made from it. Two of my favourite things in life are pasta and cheese. This pasta dish takes you on a journey of different flavours and textures, creamy butternut squash, salty and spicy chorizo, sweet garlic and aniseedy fennel. It’s a labour of love, you’ll get a few pans dirty. But it’s a great dish to make for your family on a weekend, or for your friends of an evening. I’ve made this twice now; I’ve made a few tweaks to maximise the flavour.
Ginger & Tomato Baked Cod with Lime Courgetti
For my next instalment of tried and tasted Tuesday, I’m turning to fish and the wonderful Abel & Cole. Honestly, I’m not comfortable cooking fish but this is so easy and absolutely delicious. This recipe even made my husband try courgette, after refusing at first and wanting rice. He reluctantly tried them before I was finished cooking and he was sold. We kept them raw too, so huge props to this recipe. We loved it so much, that we have eaten it again. I most certainly recommend it, ready in under 30 minutes and packed full of flavour. Healthy too, which I guess is always a bonus.
