Spaghetti al mascarpone


I don't know if that's good Italian or not. Anyway, the veg box came today, so we have been feasting on delicious vegetables. No broccoli, hurrah!

Tonight's dinner was spaghetti with a sauce made from sauteed garlic, organic leek and organic mushroom, with some sneaky bits of very unorganic smoked sausage, which I love. Secret ingredients included lots of black pepper, a pinch of thyme, and a slug of hungarian chilli vodka. Then it was smothered with mascarpone cheese, which went all runny.

Bernard also had pasta with organic spring vegetable stew, which consisted of potato, leek, carrot, mushroom, cabbage, tomato and garlic, with fennel and oregano. I blitzed it with my new stick blender, and he scoffed the lot. I gave him half a kiwi fruit for pudding, and he managed to eat about half of the slices, but was very shouty and cross, so I supplemented this with the pureed fruit compote that I made yesterday, and then he sat on the floor beside the sofa and played with an empty envelope for half an hour before bathtime.
