Spaghettata

If you’ve watched the video, you’ll hear me mention that I found this being made in the restaurant of a Swiss motorway service station. Now I’m not sure whether we’d find food being cooked freshly at a service station on a British motorway, so this has stayed in my mind as being quite a find! We were driving northwards from Milan towards the Channel Tunnel and making the journey more exciting by stopping off at some lovely places on the way…. Lucerne, Strasbourg and Luxemburg to name a few. Imagine our surprise to find a chef in his whites, standing in the middle of a circular work station with bowls of prepared pasta, meats, fish and vegetables from which we could choose whatever we fancied to build the dish. Delicious. With three children to please you can imagine their delight at having so many choices! So this is a dish that I’ve made frequently since then – now an old favourite in our house, emminently variable and economical too. I hope you might find combinations of flavours that work you x
