My kind of food, recipe please?

It was made using posh pasta (well, by my standards anyway) some Garofalo Boccole.

The sauce was just a freeform take on Bolognese.

Off the top of my head I think it was:

A large onion (start off by slow frying and caramelising this with a bit of salt & sugar)
Some cloves of garlic
Couple of mushrooms
500 grams of beef mince (probably too much for an authentic Italian style dish, but let's not worry about that)
A sweet pepper
Tin of plum tomatoes
Carton of passata
A big squeeze of tomato puree
Couple of wine stock pots
Couple of teaspoons of dried herbs
Half a teaspoon of chili powder
Salt & pepper
Water

Also added some grated cheese at the eating stage.

For anyone who hasn't tried it, my top tip would be to try out the pressure cooker method. Instead of boiling the pasta separately and adding the sauce to serve, I make the sauce (don't overcook the meat) and add it with the stock/water to dry pasta in my Instant Pot. Cook it all together on high pressure and the result seems to infuse the flavour more than just mixing in the sauce afterwards.

Welcome to the Club :cool::cry:
 
I just finished Aldi Wagyu fillet steak with various trimmings and stilton hollandaise. Steak was cooked sous vide to 40c for an hour and then seared on a cast iron skillet. No pics because I forgot.

Tasty enough, but also somewhat disappointing. The packaging for the steak said it weighed 170g (I had 2 - greedy guts!) but it was actually 170g of steak rather than a 170g steak. Each pack had at least 3 bits of steak in it, 2 of which weighed 10g each (!).

I've bought these steaks a few times, never had that before but maybe I've just been lucky in the past.
