As my regular reader will know, Tuesday night is pasta night. I just open the fridge and concoct something from its contents. For people who don’t have time to cook, here’s a 15-20 minute supper.

Bear in mind I have an ceramic hob, so you can skip the “put the rings on” bit if you’ve got gas.

1. Switch on the big ring, put a deep frying pan on it, add a slug of olive oil
2. Switch on the medium ring, put some cold water and salt in a pan, set it on the ring
3. Slice up a big leek and put it in the pan with the oil.
4. Weigh out the pasta (if you do such things – we do, because carbs/diabetes)
5. Slice up some mushrooms, and add to the leeks
6. Notice pasta water is boiling – add pasta, set timer for ten minutes (this is dried pasta – your pasta may vary)
7. Remember you haven’t put any garlic in, so quickly peel and chop two cloves and throw them in with the vegetables
8. Put a colander in the sink for drainage purposes
9. Grate black pepper into the veg
10. Open the fridge for some lemon juice, find a bottle of white wine open, and add some of that instead.  Too much, so turn up the heat to boil it down a bit
11. Remove block of feta from fridge and cut up about one third of it
12. When timer goes, drain pasta then add it to vegetables, together with the feta.
13. Stir it all together, decant into bowls, scoff.
