Campagna-style pasta ragu

Another dead-simple recipe based on a dish served at the Blu di Prussia restaurant in Laureana Cilento.

I used:

• 250g beef mince
• 4 tbsp Tesco frozen onion
• 1 jar Sacla aubergine pesto
• 250g fresh tagliatelle

And I did this:

1. Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions, drain and put to one side.
2. Heat a little olive oil in a pan, add the onion and beef mince and cook thoroughly.
3. Stir in the pesto and heat through.
4. Add the pasta, mix it all together, and serve.
   

Campagna-style pasta and prawns

This is an immensely simple recipe inspired by a dish we were served on our recent holiday to Italy.

I used:

• 200g fresh peeled tiger prawns
• 4 tbsp Tesco frozen diced onion
  
• 1 cube frozen garlic
• 1 tsp mild chili powder
• 250g fresh tagliatelle

And I did this:

1. Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions (add some olive oil to the water to stop it sticking together), drain and put to one side.
2. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan, add the prawns, onion, garlic and chili powder and cook for 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the pasta to the pan, stir to mix everything thoroughly, and heat through for a minute or two.

Simple!
