I decided then to share the preparation of my quick meal. As always, working in food I often forget to do proper shopping and I find my self figuring out how to match what I can find in my half empty fridge.
I have got a lovely gift from my friend (she works at La Tua Pasta): a packet of fresh tortelloni filled with mushroom and cheese.
I take a clove of garlic and some fresh spinach leaves. Oh, I have got a little piece of our Pecorino, favourite cheese of our clients at the last street market.
And the pasta dish was already in my head:
Boiling water, salt.
(add salt only after the water is boiling)
Frying pan, ev olive oil, garlic and crushed chilli. When the garlic gets gold I added the spinach leaves (well I added also a few rocket salad because it was there...).
(I added a little piece of unsalted butter as well)
After a few minutes the spinach leaves are ready and I turned off the stove.
In the meantime the water was boiling... I cooked the pasta for about 3 minutes.
Drained the pasta and mixed in the frying pan (stove on again). Added our aged balsamic vinegar.
Grated our pecorino from Tuscany directly in the pan...
... and served. My lunch is ready and yes it's not too bad considering it took about 8 minutes to prepare it!
Ah, don't forge to follow us on Twitter!
