Pea, mint and ricotta ravioli (wheat-free!)















So this was a Jamie Oliver recipe which I really only picked to use up the peas we picked from the PYO farm recently.

As my mother in law was staying I had to make the pasta wheat free and to be honest it tasted fine! I was a little bit worried but I used wheat free flour for breads/cakes and added a bit of olive oil along with the eggs. The dough consistency was pretty similar to normal but when I tried to put it through the pasta machine it crumbled. So I rolled it out with a rolling pin and it seemed to work just fine - I got a thin layer and it remained intact while it was cooking.

It was a success and the only thing I wasn't sure about what the mixture itself - it tasted of spring and freshness but in my opinion it was just OK - Sue and James liked it though. Would definitely make wheat free pasta/ravioli again but probably with a different filling.














Over and out.

Bacon and Parsnip Pasta

 













Tanya's thoughts:
A classic Jamie Oliver recipe. I say classic as I have made this hundreds of times, even James does this one too now. I'm sure all my friends will recognise this too. It's easy to make and really tasty- the parsnip sounds weird but don't let it put you off, it's great, i use a peeler so the slices are really thin. Have even linked it for you: http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/pasta-recipes/parsnip-and-pancetta-tagliatelle-with-pa

 













James's verdict:
"Always a favourite"
