Passion for Pasta - Antonio Carluccio

Fasta Pasta

Advantages: =
Disadvantages: =

I love pasta , especially shaped pastas which hold sauce and flavour wonderfully . The only troubel is, it takes about 10-12 minutes to cook normally, which is fine if I'm cooking a home made bolognese sauce or something to go with it, but is a bit of a pain in the bum when I just want a big bowl of pasta covered in grated cheese . Many supermarkets now sell quick cook pasta - and asda is no exception, offering two varieties, penne and fusilli . I chose Penne because I love how the sauce goes into the tubes if I'm using a sauce, and it just absorbs flavour well . Now, the ingredients in this pasta are exactly the same as in the ordinary pasta , so you're wondering now what the miracle is that makes it cook faster - and the secret is ....thinner and smaller penne quills. Thats all it is . In the same way a rasher of bacon cooks faster ...

Review of Asda Quick Cook Penne Pasta Quills

Purple Passion

Advantages: Leaves clothes smelling lovley
Disadvantages: None

Recently I haven?t been using conditioner in many loads of washing as the fragrance from the washing liquid has been adequate but as I?d bought a different product I have been using my Conditioner again and the result has been worth the extra cost. My Conditioner is the concentrate variety and therefore it saves space as the 750ml bottle will last for 21 washes. The bottle can be recycled. The bottle is clear plastic with a purple lid, which reminds me of a hat as it has a rounded inside and a turn-up brim! The inside provides the measuring cup for the exact amount needed, depending on the amount of washing or if doing hand washing. There is a picture of delicate passion flowers and tiny ylang ylang flowers on the bottle. The liquid is a lovely lilac colour and the fragrance is absolutely beautiful. The passion flower and ylang ...

Perfect Pasta

Advantages: Quick, easy and cheap
Disadvantages: Some flavours may stain

As a busy mum to 3 children I find that I live a very hectic lifestyle with not alot of time left for standing in the kitchen preparing meals. This is where Homepride pasta bakes come in. We generally have one of these for dinner once a week. They are a quick and easy one pot meal that everyone enjoys. These sauces I find are excellent value for money costing only £1.39 or sometimes on offer at 2 for £2 in my local Morrisons store. There are several different flavours to choose from these are * Creamy tomato and herb. * Cheese and bacon. * Tomato and bacon. * and Tuna bake. So with plenty of choice (and I think there may be more variaties) there is bound to be one that suits every member of your family. **Packaging** The sauces are sold in 500g glass jars. These jars are see through so that you can see what ...
