A'vanner's Pasta Surprise

You will need

250 grams cheese - grated is easiest
Two onions
One zucchini
One small capsicum
Herbs, garlic, salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter or margarine or olive oil
Eschalots
Lean bacon or tuna or soy bacon
100-200 grams of cashews
200 grams any pasta

This meal takes 22 minutes from start to finish and there are dozens of variations. It is an adaption we have just built on called Deluxe Kraft Dinner. It was awful by the way! If you can afford the luxury of Pine Nuts these add a lovely texture.

Use your largest saucepan and bring water to the boil. Add pasta and a smidgen of oil to stop sticking. Dice the onions and zucchini - place in frypan or saucepan - sauté with butter or margarine or olive oil until tender.

Add the cashews then tuna OR bacon pieces OR Soy Bacon etc. Next add the coarsely sliced capsicum. Add the herbs, garlic, salt and pepper to taste.

Add the pasta after draining well

Continue gently simmering until all the cheese melts. We sometimes add a tablespoon of curry at this point.

Garnish with anything you have! Please excuse the no table cloth! So till next month - happy camping and great cooking.
