I know this isn’t much of a recipe, but how often have you come home late from work and thought: “I really can’t be bothered to cook a proper meal!” The only solution then seems to be to pick up the phone and call the local Indian or root in the freezer for some pepperoni pizza. You are also probably sick of shop bought jars of arrabbiata or microwave meals.

Now here’s a bit of a gem and the reason why I always have creme legere in my fridge :)

This pasta dish is soooo easy to make and depending on what you have in your fridge, always different. Make a little more to take to work with you the next day.

SERVES 4
PREPARATION > 10 mins
COOK 10 mins
……………………………………….

INGREDIENTS

• stuff from your fridge.
  I used chorizo, tomatoes and spinach. But you can use anything you want:
  ham, peppers, mushrooms, salami, rocket, peas, chilis, chicken…. go wild!
• Pasta (fussili, penne or farfalle work best) Use approximately 85g per serving
• 3 tbsp creme legere (that’s about a small tub)
• a handful of grated cheddar
• salt and pepper to season

………………………………………

PREPARATION METHOD

1. Cook your pasta to instructions in some salted water.
2. Chop up your ingredients into bite-size portions and set aside.
3. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and mix in your fridge ingredients.
4. Add the creme legere and cheddar and mix until well combined and the cheddar has melted. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Sprinkle some tabasco on top if you like and enjoy with a well-deserved glass of wine. ;)

I know this sounds ridiculous and too easy… but it is soooo good :)
