    I need to cook for myself, I've had pasta for the last few nights. Anyone got any recipe suggestions for one :(( ? Bearing in mind I'm in Norway so a few chicken breasts will set me back about £10. I'm not opposed to vegetarian recipes (in fact the only vegetarian recipe I know is pasta without meat). At the moment I'm getting a pizza. But I really don't want to eat that. [Edit] A little help? Right! Got loads of ideas!! Off to the shops now.

    Thank-you all!!!

      Why not Pasta with Rudolph Balls, or a Salt Cod dish.

        I made these great stuffed tomatoes a couple days ago. Ground beef, onions, garlic, peppers, celery, sauteed it all and then stuffed the tomatoes, adding this incredible feta cheese to the mix, and baked it for about 10 minutes on 450F or so. You could use rice instead of beef. Marc

            klippfisk with a nice creamy sauce or maybe a tomato-ey sauce?

            Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

                        Dried, salted cod - as you were in Norway, thought you were Norwegian - silly me. I had it when I was in Norway - very nice. Don't know what the price is like to buy - everything in Norway seemed insanely expensive.

                          I am a bit partial to a chilli. But, I normally cook that when I'm over here 'cause I can make a big batch and have it a for a few days. Saves cooking everynight. :)

                          That one sounds good, I do like lentils. :thumbsup:

                                Hehehe! Yeah, I don't go to pubs here!! I get some duty free and bring it over. I think £8 for a bottle of beer is a little to much!!

                                  I am a bit partial to a chilli. But, I normally cook that when I'm over here 'cause I can make a big batch and have it a for a few days. Saves cooking everynight. :)

                                      I need to cook for myself, I've had pasta for the last few nights. Anyone got any recipe suggestions for one :(( ? Bearing in mind I'm in Norway so a few chicken breasts will set me back about £10. I'm not opposed to vegetarian recipes (in fact the only vegetarian recipe I know is pasta without meat). At the moment I'm getting a pizza. But I really don't want to eat that. [Edit] A little help? Right! Got loads of ideas!! Off to the shops now.

                                      Thank-you all!!!

                                      Grilled Salmon with boiled new potatoes and asparagus served with a rich Hollandaise sauce. That's what I'm doing...

                                        Actually, that's not a bad idea. Mr Dootson mentioned fish as well. I normally whack the Salmon in some foil, bit of olive oil, some herbs, salt and pepper. Whang it in the oven, 20 minutes later out it pops, add some potatoes and veg. And the hollandaise sauce only makes it better! :thumbsup:

                                          Assuming you speak only of the noodles, what vegetables do pasta contain?
