Ottolenghi's quick and easy bolognese recipe
"From start to finish, this bolognese is made in one roasting pan – the pasta cooks directly in the sauce. It may seem counterintuitive to chop dried manicotti or cannelloni, but there is a method to the madness: it’s nearly impossible to break the dried pasta in half exactly, so you end up with some shards, which become lovely and crisp, and some tubes, which hold the sauce very nicely. The kick and thick consistency of the Tunisian harissa brand Le Phare du Cap Bon is especially nice, but any kind will work – just note that the spice level and texture of the final dish will reflect the harissa you choose. Sprinkle this dish with additional cheese before serving, if you’d like." - Yotam Ottolenghi.
Quick green pasta
“Everyone loves pasta, so treating it as your best friend and a vehicle for getting extra veg into meals is a good way to approach things. Flex the veg you use depending on what you’ve got. You want around 500g of veg in total, or more if you’ve got it." – Jamie Oliver
