5 quick recipes from treasures of the pantry

1. Spaghetti Carbonara

For 2-3 people: Boil 400g of spaghetti, whip up 1 egg and 1 egg yolk with a cup of cream. Parmesan grated to taste, salted, peppered. In a pan, omit the bacon cubes. Add dripping wet spaghetti to the bacon in the pan, mix briefly. Then add the egg and cream mixture and wait until the egg noodles form. Then mix again and if available sprinkle fresh parsley over it. Buon appetito!

2nd omelette

An omelette is great for the recovery of vegetables or other leftovers. With potatoes, bacon and onions, it is a hearty peasant feast, with grated cheese and leek satiating airy.

The basic recipe: As many eggs as you want to eat (for one person, two to three), beat well with a little milk, salt and pepper. Fry the ingredients in a pan, pour the egg mixture over it and let it stand until a stable layer has formed on the bottom and the top is no longer completely liquid. Now fold the omelette once, let rest for a short while until the heat has spread inside. Finished.


Even more lush is the mass when you separate the eggs, the egg whites semi-stiff beats and the egg yolk undermined. But is no longer under "fast food". If you want a cheese omelette, sprinkle the cheese just after pouring in the eggs on top.

3. pancakes (pancakes, pancakes, crepe)

Basic rule: 3-2-1. 3 tablespoons flour, 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon sugar. Add a little salt and a quarter liter of milk. Stir well and let stand for half an hour. Then bake in a ladle in buttered lard or oil. always wait until the edge comes off the pan, then turn it over for a moment, ready.

For fruit varieties such as apple pancakes, simply make the dough a little thicker, add the finely chopped apples to the pan, put a decent chunk of dough on top and proceed exactly as described above.

4. Simple tomato sauce for noodles

Put two onions, one or two cloves of garlic in some oil, preferably olive oil, sauté gently in a pan, not too hot, otherwise the garlic will be bitter. If they are soft and slightly browned, sprinkle a pinch of sugar over them and caramelize. Add canned or bottle tomatoes and simmer gently for at least 15 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and oregano. Can you supplement it with vegetables, carrots, celery, peppers, eggplants? what the kitchen so gives.
