Episode 118 - Spaghetti with Leftover Lambshank


I made this ages ago, lucky I took pictures of it. Managed to deco the dish some more hehe. My sister brought back some leftover lambshank meat and it was so much that my family couldn't finish em. So it was nearly dinner time and I was thinking what can I do with the meat so that it wouldn't be so boring eating the same thing again. So I decided that I'd create a pasta dish out of it. Well, this is basically another dish where you just need to have a few ingredients and dump eveything together. It just takes like ten to fifteen minutes to cook! And you can have a delicious meal after... Mmmmmm

Spaghetti with Leftover Lambshank
Ingredients:
Half a packet of San Remo Instant Spaghetti
A bowl of leftover Lambshank meat
A tin of Hunt's Diced Tomatoes flavoured with Basil, Garlic & Oregano
A cup of Raguletto Bolognese Sauce
2 cloves of Garlic
Half Large Onion
A cup of Portobello Mushrooms
4 tablespoons of Olive Oil
1 tablespoon of Butter
Salt & Pepper

Method:
Easy. First, you just need to cook the pasta in salted water as instructed on the packet. If it's instant, it won't take too long so a few minutes after, you can start preparing the sauce. Like the Elbow Pasta recipe, get a non-stick wok and with medium low heat on, sate you chopped garlic and onion and along with the sliced mushrooms. Then, pour in the Sauces and give it a good stir. Now you can dump in the shredded leftover lambshank meat. By now, your spaghetti will be done and just take a tong and grab the spaghetti and place them in the wok. Switch off the heat and stir well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish your spaghetti with more Basil leaves and Parsley. Enjoy it with a side of salad leaves. Delish!
Serves: 4

*Tip: If you can't get the particular Hunt's diced tomatoes with Basil, Garlic and Oregano, you can just buy the one without the flavours and add the Basil and Oregano (preferably fresh, if you're using dried ones, put a tablespoon each) when you cook the sauce. For the mushrooms, you can also use the tin canned Button mushrooms but I prefer the fresh ones because they have more taste to it.

So guys, cooking is easy, you just need a bit of idea and improvise what you already have at home!

Till the next post, Cheerios!
