PASTA MANAGEMENT

067
Store pasta airtight til needed
and in a dry cabin.
Pasta is made from duram
and has a high gluten factor,
which is an allergy issue for coeliacs.

Pasta is at the core
of Mediterranean cooking.

Simmer til soft and eat on its own
or flavour by stirring in
just about anything you have to hand,
hummus, coleslaw, mashed sardines,
grated cheese, yoghurt, butter, mayo


The recipe below shows how to make
a hugely adaptable on-board meal. 

Swap the peas for smoked lardons
which would be cooked before the onion
until crisp and golden. 

I choose to use kale in season. 
mid-winter Kale is very high
in fibre and flavonoids. 

When on board I make this dish
as often as once a week
while kale is available.

Picture
  • 200g curly kale  (7oz)
  • Olive oil  (I use rice-bran!)
  • Salt flakes to season
  • 100g pasta (3½oz)
  • 2 eggs
  • 50-100g grated hard cheese
  • 1 generous onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped or whole
  • 100g peas frozen or fresh in season
PASTA:-
Cook al dente. 
Drain. 
Reserve the water.  
You'll need it later! 
Toss the drained pasta in oil
to prevent it sticking to itself. 
Leave it to one side.
Picture
 CRISPY KALE:-  (Air fryer ashore 180°C  4 to 6min.)  Tear the greenery off the stalks. Reserve the stalks:. they are a very valuable source of  fibre and respond well to steaming.  Chop the greenery as small as is feasible.  Transfer to a large bowl, stir in salt and 2 tbsp of oil 'til the kale is well oiled.  Spread the kale in the air fryer tray and crisp but not too much.  Visually the kale will noticably reduce its bulk.  Set aside to cool. 
CARBONERA:- 
Fork together egg, Parmesan, salt and pepper.  Fold in some of the reserved pasta water. Mix and leave to one side. 
Warm oil in a fry-pan.  If using lardons fry them now til brown.  Cook the onion til transparent.  Add the garlic.  Stir in the peas and some of the reserved pasta water to cook the peas.  Stir the pasta into the mix on a lower heat and pour in the carbonara and stir constantly for as long as it takes.  Add some more pasta water before you mix in the kale. 

Serve hot with flaked parmesan and black pepper. In Summer it can be served cold.
Flavour boost:   If you like a bit of heat season the kale with lemon zest.
