Now you've reached stage one of the recovery programme, maybe you'd like to share with the group how long you've had these "desires"? We're all here to support you.

The thing is you can actually make something ten times nicer with much more flavour by spending just a couple of pounds on some real pasta and making yourself a really nice dish without E, G, H, J, D, K numbers, preservatives, and chemicals, and it will taste twice as nice.
Nothing beats real cooking.

When you live on your own, as many of us do, it's difficult to justify spending an hour preparing a meal just for yourself. Far quicker to shove a microwave meal in the micra or a pizza in the oven.

You can buy fresh pasta in the supermarket.It takes 3 minutes to cook in boiling water and you add the fresh sauce of your choice available from the same shelf in the supermarket.

Also fresh chopped garlic and tomato UNCOOKED is absolutely smashing with any kind of hot cooked pasta.For the almost lazy amongst you.

Or take some cooked ham and a RAW egg and add to hot spaghetti with some grated parmesan.The egg cooks on the hot pasta.It's delicious and is the real recipe for carbonara.

None of the above takes more than 15/20 minutes.

I love pasta.It's the fastest food and is quicker than ordering in a take away.

Well I do that but the sauce would be discounted as "processed" - I'd have to make fresh, which involved faffing around. Besides which, whenever I cook anything it either tastes nasty or of nothing

yum - everyone round to Incog's for supper

- rather than the 'pasta sauce' type products, which I find are too sweet, why not try a jar of fresh passata with some pesto to jazz it up.

This is why I watch Ray Mear's and weep in the sure and certain knowledge I'd starve to death if my plane crashed somewhere remote and all I had was a squirrel and a bit of manky weed to live on. It's the skin, seeds and hard core (from a tomato - not the squirrel). In tomato based products you usually end up with just skin - same with peppers. I don't like the bits of skin. Tomato on a pizza or in lasagne (only from M&S though) I will eat.
