Delicious, I loved this. I used a whole wheat pappardelle, and leftover slow cooked lamb leg. I skipped the sugar, and made everything else as directed. -
This was really easy to prepare and had a nice, lemony flavor. I used hot paprika to give it a little zing and I chopped the kalamata olives for better distribution. Other than that, I followed all ingredients and directions as posted. This was enjoyed by both myself and DH. Thanks! Made for ZWT5.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
This is really a shared account between Helen and Aoibhe. Helen is Welsh, in her mid thirties and teaches English and History. Aoibhe is Scots, six weeks older, and works in customer service. The majority of the posts and feedback will come from Helen, but Aoibhe will occasionally have something to share.
We love to travel and are currently living in our fourth country. Since we've just bought a house and a bit of land, we're probably here to stay for quite a while. It appears we've become adults, which is rather scary...
Helen considers herself to be a good basic cook, but is trying to branch out and try new things. Aoibhe doesn't really enjoy cooking, but loves to eat, and she always has an opinion on what she eats.
Helen enjoys reading, gardening and adores old movies. Aoibhe likes to run. Helen is not designed to run and thinks this is slightly mad.
Favourite dish to cook? Just about anything as long as the directions are clear.
Famous dish? Helen's mum's Welsh cakes and Aoibhe's gran's shortbread. One of these days we'll post the recipes.
Favourite restaurant? We've eaten at so many fantastic restaurants in so many places, that it's impossible to name just one.
