Peas with Pancetta (6-8)

These vegetables from Nigella Lawson’s ” Nigellissima” could also be used as a sauce for pasta or in a pasta and vegetable soup if you have leftovers. You could leave out the bacon but if you do use a couple more tablespoons of garlic oil, and extra chopped shallot and some veg bouillon powder for more flavouring.

Bacon and Egg Pie (6)

This is from ” Cook at Home” by Peter Gordon. Its his stepmothers recipe and he thinks it is the best in the universe, and almost better cold the next day. And very easy if you use ready made pastry. In summer, slices of fresh tomatoes on top work well too.
