mrsbrownThe title of this post is also the title of the cookbook I'm writing in my head.
Today we had slow food in one hour, including tidying the kitchen, although there were three of us.
I made pasta with eggs and flour. Sneetch ran it through the pasta machine.
MsNotaGoth cut some of the pumpkin in 1cm slices, until she got overwhelmed and gave up, and I finished it off. Then she olive oiled it and put it on trays in the oven. Where we cooked it until it was a little bit burnt.
Then I went to the garden and picked sage leaves to cook in butter.
Cooking the pasta takes only 2 minutes, then I put on roast pumpkin and poured over burnt butter sauce and crispy sage leaves. It tasted fabulous.
Sneetch asked for goats cheese but I only had marinated fetta, which was a pretty good additional flavour.
To try and persuade Rose to eat pasta (without the "yukky" pumpkin and sage), I added unsalted butter and sugar - that's really good too!
