Review- Creamy Tomato & Salami Fettuccine- EDC

[Ceejay]

Ahhh Chelle... knew you'd be around somewhere! 

Hope your precious TMX is making up for all the time you missed it!

Tried to get freekah today, but our Woolies didn't have any at all.
Also, no Wallaby Flour, no Organic Raw Sugar....

[judydawn]

That's annoying MJ - I couldn't get Wallaby flour in Foodland either.

I bought some freekah in Woolies yesterday and am looking forward to using it.

we don't bother using cream in it anymore, as cream is not something we have in the house generally. it's still nice

[Chelsea (Thermie Groupie)]

That's good to know.  You don't replace the cream with anything? 

[brazen20au]

well no, but i think we need to, it has been too thick lol

[merlot]

i regularly replace the cream with either TMX yoghurt or with ricotta cheese or cottage cheese. And will often just use a couple of tablespoons rather than any great quantity.

Tonight I made this using 1 onion, 2 garlic cloves, cracked black pepper, 2 zucchini's, bacon, mushroom (quartered and added in the last 2 minutes of cooking), and added an extra 50 g water to the recipe amount.
Cooked with basket on top, and added a little extra cream once placed in thermoserve, and sat for 5 mins.  Kids ate it, so I'm chuffed 



Topped with some pistachio/parmesan crusted chicken.

[Snoozie]

Made a slight variation on this the other night and it was absolutely beautiful.

A real winner...

I love seeing the encrusted chicken and also the avo (I love avo!).

This is what I love about reviews - I've bypassed this recipe many times as I never have cream (unless I've bought it for something specific) and am not keen on salami.

So I've been gradually absorbing all the comments about how you can just throw anything in, and last night I did.

Fantastic!  Finished off the last of the yoghurt (maybe 80g), the 2 sticks of spinach, and a couple of other odds and ends, and followed the rest of the recipe.  I added a tin of tuna at the end, stirred through and let it sit for about 5 minutes.  Delicious!  Even my impossible to feed 5yr loved it, and was so excited when she finished it and had an Iron Booster Ball as a special treat for eating all her dinner.

[merlot]

it's such a good base, isn't it! i have never had it fail despite the odd things i stick in there.

Made this tonight and it was a massive hit. Used hungarian salami and kids all thought a hotter salami would have been better but otherwise so lovely. They all had 2-3 serves!
Love the idea of different variations, think this will be a family staple.

[Denzelmum]

Made vegetarian version - change salami with Sanitarium Deli Slice.  Nice, quick and yummy.  The whole family enjoy this, would be regular in our house.

Star: 4.5/5
