#04 Big dishes: pasta and noodles

I just love to make dishes that can be eaten over two days, with the two of us! Either that, or it can be served for four people. I used to hate a certain dish; stir-fryed chinese noodles with chinese vegetables, chicken and the enclosed herbs and spices. [NL: roerbakmie!] It was not until I went to the university and had to start cooking for myself four days out of seven, I started to realize that that dish was actually quite good.

Although it tends to differ from the way my mother's taste, the dish is made the same way. It comes in their own handy packages and it is easy to make. Not to mention the fact that there is less dishes due to the use of only two pans. (My boyfriend thanks me for this ! He is the dishwasher :D!) And the fact that we can eat twice from it, so no cooking the next day, AND no more dishes regarding pans.

Another big dish I like to make is a pasta dish. I have yet to go into detail with the recipe, but I can tell you this: it's just delicious and easy! You have to cook the pasta, and some vegetables (I use carrots) as long as they should cook. When it is done and strained off, add these ingredients and a pasta sauce of choice, a lot of mozarella, and ham, to a large oven-plate. Bake it in 20 to 30 minutes on 200 degrees C.

I hope I will come up with another dish like these, or stumble upon... Because I love coming home from something and realizing I don't have to cook because I already did that yesterday!
