Since I moved into my new place a few months back, I've started to absolutely love it
As the kitchen was tiny in my last place, it wasn't much fun. But the kitchen now is huge, so I can take up far more room preparing ingredients.

New really quick really easy pasta, takes as long to cook as the pasta does
Fry 1 diced onion, 2 diced courgettes and 1 punnett of pancetta lardons.

When cooked, add the zest of 1 lemon and squeeze in some of the juice.

Stir into linguini with some creme fraiche. sprinkle with some fresh parsley and serve with toasted ciabatta garlic bread

I've had that.
it's good.

I've taken to really finely dicing some spring onion, carrot and celery and frying that off first as a basis for pasta sauces. Authentic and delicious.

as it gives the gravy a rich sweetness.

Stick a chopped garlic clove in too

The lemon really lifts it, makes it fresh and zesty taking the cremy edge off

Or you can go the other way and chuck in some grated mild cheddar right at the end
That is lovely too
