First….a bit of veg-patchery…
This year’s tatties are coming through – planted using a no-dig method due to our infirmities! I cleared a space in the veg patch in preparation. Mike went along using a raised kneeler with side handles for support, and planted the tatties one by one using a hand-trowel. He got them in at the Solstice and a full moon!
When he mows the grass, he tips the cuttings on top of where the tatties are planted – et viola – a tattie patch with minimum strain on his injured ankle.
They’re in the same bed as what’s left of last year’s brassicas, which are still producing – Broccoli, Cauliflower and Cabbage
We’ll be having Pasta with Broccoli & Cauli for tea…..
Pasta with Broccoli & Cauliflower
About a third of a packet of pasta shapes (tubes, bows, whirls)
Olive Oil
2 oz cheese ( grated)
Heads of broccoli & cauli, divided up into small pieces.
1 clove of garlic, chopped.
Wash broccoli & cauli and par-boil in salted water.
Cook pasta.
While pasta and veg are cooking, fry garlic in Olive Oil then add cooked veg and fry lightly.
Drain pasta, stir in veg, garlic & oil.
Stir in grated cheese and serve.
It’s a light meal for warmer weather. You can add other things which might suit the mix.
