• a handful of rocket lettuce
• salt and pepper

Preparation:

1. For the sauce, put the tomatoes, rocket lettuce and some salt and pepper in a blender and blend until you have a sauce
2. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius
3. Place the puffed pastry next to each other and spread with the tomatosauce
4. Add the gammon, aspergus and black olives

Recipe: tagliatelle with pesto-salmonsauce and oventomatoes

I love how with a season dissapearing a new season comes delivering new colours, new weather and new food. I enjoy cooking with ingredients that are typical for a season because you are sure they are fresh and they just give that little extra spark to that dish. This time of the year, with its cold mornings and warm afternoons I love making pasta. The great thing about pasta is that it is such a wide range of different recipes that you can experiment with. You can make a very light pasta but also a pastabomb full of flavours.

My brother and I were home-alone yesterday and we decided to go with some easy pasta with a nice pesto-salmonsauce. Paired with this we decided to go for oventomatoes because with the right ingredients the flavours marry together really well. All really easy to prepare and absolutely wonderful for your tastebuds!

• 250 grams of tagliatelle
• a cup of sour cream
• 2 tbsp of green pesto
• 5 sun-dried tomatoes
• 15 cherrytomatoes
• balsamico vinegar
• italian spices
• basil
• 100 grams of smoked salmon

Preparation:

1. Cook the tagliatelle following the instructions on the wrapper
2. Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven on 190 degrees celsius
3. Put the cherrytomatoes in a bowl and add a splash of balsamico vinegar
4. Add some italian spices and some basil to the bowl and put in the oven for 20 minutes
5. Cut the sun-dried tomatoes into small piece as well as the salmon
6. Put the sour cream, sun-dried tomatoes and pesto into a pan and stir until the flavours have all maried together
7. Optionally, add some pepper to the sauce
8. Place the salmon onto the plates and add the tagliatelle
9. Put the sauce on top of the tagliatelle and finish with some oventomatoes
10. Ready to serve!

Recipe: Pastasalad with diced ham

Since we went barbecuing I decided to make a pastasalad as a healthy sidedish. As you could have probably guessed, I have got an addiction for pastasalads during the summer. They are just so easy to make and you can costumize it however you like it! I invented this salad myself by just trying out some ingredients that I thought would fit well together. The nice thing about this dish is that you can add any ingredient you like or use other ingredients which match your preferences.

What you will need (for two bowls):

• 500 grams of pasta
• 300 grams of diced ham
• 4 tbsp of black olives
• 15 cherrytomatoes
• 250 grams of green beans
• 450 grams of mozzarella
• 2 tbsp of fresh cream
• 4 tsp of italian spices
• olive oil
• peper

Preparation:

1. Shuck the ends of the green beans and wash them. Put them into a pan with boiling water and cook for 10 minutes. Then swill with cold water, so that the beans remain green.
2. Boil the pasta following the instructions on the wrapper. When done, cast the pasta into a colander and swill with cold water. Let it leak out afterwards.
3. Cut the cherrytomatoes into pieces, as well as the black olives and mozzarella. Put the pasta, diced ham, olives, tomatoes, fresh cream, mozzarella and green beans in a bowl and toss it around. Season the salad with italian spices, peper and olive oil. Ready to serve!

Just a little note: I used olive oil that I got as a holiday present from a dear friend of mine. It is formed as the tower of pisa and contains olive oil with rosemary and pepers. It is absolutely delicious and really adds something special to the dish!

What kind of pastasalads do you make during the summertime? I would love to hear from you!

Have a lovely day. -x-

Recipe: Eggbowls with bacon and spinach

So let me just describe my current situation: I just got back from a morning run in the forest, which I really enjoy during the summer time. I am now sitting outside with my laptop while eating my breakfast, which consists out of a slice of bread topped with strawberries (this is good, trust me). Today I decided to share with you this recipe I found out about a year ago that is so good, and very easy to make. You can make it for a lunch, snack or an entree. It only consists out of a few simple ingredients.

What you will need (4 portions):

• 100 grams of bacon strips
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 teaspoon of paprikapowder
• 4 eggs
• 300 grams of spinach
• 1 baking dish
• 4 caserroles (one for each person)

Preparation:

1. Heat up the oven at 200 degrees Celsius
2. Heat up a frying pan (without oil) and bake the bacon
3. Take the bacon strips out and let them leak out in a bowl
4. Wash the spinach and put that in the frying pan after the bacon is out, press out the garlic into the spinach and steer a little (make sure the garlic does not burn)
5. Let the spinach diminish and afterwards put it in a strainer to let go of most of the moist
6. Divide the spinach over the 4 caserroles, crack 4 eggs and put them in each of the caserroles and lastly divide the bacon strips over the bowls
7. Place the 4 caserroles in the baking dish and fill the baking dish up with some water. Put this in the oven for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs have solidified
8. Take the baking dish out of the oven and sprinkle some paprikapowder over the caserroles

I hope you like this recipe and try it out sometime! Have a great day. x.
