When you are hungry and in a hurry this simple pasta dish can be on the table in next to no time. You will even be able to put together a salad accompaniment and still be sitting down to eat within 20 minutes. Take care when melting the cheese to ensure that it does not get too hot.
Ingredients
300 g tagliatelle
100 ml low–fat milk
150 g medium–fat soft goat's cheese
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
6 spring onions, thinly sliced
2–3 tablespoons finely chopped toasted hazelnuts
salt and pepper
Preparation
Cook the pasta in boiling water for 10–12 minutes, or according to the packet instructions, until al dente.
Meanwhile, warm the milk in a saucepan over a low heat.
Add the cheese, breaking it up as you add it to the milk, and stir until it has just melted.
Do not allow the mixture to boil or the cheese will curdle.
Remove from the heat and stir in the tarragon and spring onions.
Season to taste.
Drain the pasta well and transfer it to a serving dish.
Here's a great new way to scramble eggs – cooked in a double saucepan or in a bowl over simmering water, without any butter, then mixed with crème fraîche for a creamy result. With strips of smoked salmon and fresh dill, this is the ultimate luxury brunch dish.
Flakes of smoked trout, cream cheese and fresh dill combine to make a well–flavoured filling for this light spinach roll. It is much simpler to make than it looks – just make sure that the spinach is squeezed really dry before adding to the sauce base.
The hollows in hard–boiled egg halves make perfect containers for a tasty filling – here carrot and chive – and the eggs look attractive served on a bed of ribbon vegetables and lamb's lettuce. All you need is some bread to make a satisfying lunch.
For these delectable chilli–flavoured omelettes, the eggs are whisked with cornflour to give them a slightly firmer texture, suitable for folding round a colourful and tasty filling of stir–fried vegetables and rice noodles.
