Kind Life - Solutions to Your Problems

Serves 2-3 depending on appetite (good as a starter)

10 mins prep, 15 mins cooking.

Ingredients:

Good Virgin Olive oil (not Extra)

3 cloves of garlic - chopped

1 large onion - sliced

1 red pepper - chopped and seeded

Chesnutt mushrooms - sliced

Mixed herbs

Coarse salt and pepper

Grated cheese (optional and to taste)

2-3 slices of Parma ham - sliced

Pre cooked/baked ham - roughly sliced - grilled chicken or crayfish can also be used in addition or instead

pot of single cream (I use elmlea light)

linguine

1 large egg

Boil water for linguine, add linguine on low heat - simmer

Heat olive oil in wok or similar pan on a medium heat

add ingredients in sequence above and sauté.

Once onions have gone clear add the hams and keep moving in the pan

Taste it to ensure flavour is to your liking

Add the cream to the pan and mix in - let it simmer and reduce the cream to a thick consistency.

When the linguine is cooked to taste - (I prefer this over cooked for this meal and not Al Dente)

Drain and break egg onto pasta stirring immediately, then add this to the pan and mix together.

Serve straight from the pan to warmed plates and add cheese to taste...

Serve with a nice glass of vino :)

Garlic bread optional
