| This dish was perfectly okay, just not very exciting. It did bother me a little that they cheated: anyone can make a one-pot pasta-dish with pre-cooked penne (especially if you assume, like they did, that the pasta won't need reheating)!
Crosspost. I found out that this recipe was published online. I crossposted my review here. |
| Although not one of my favourites, it's interesting for its combination of flavours, though you need to take care not to add too much mustard. Extra credit for it as a one-pot dish and supposedly low-fat (though I would serve it with boiled potatoes, not with rice as suggested). |
| I’m not yet really sure whether I should award this recipe a three or four star rating – I guess the problem is mainly that it tastes too much like typical kids’ food. Don’t shy away from this dish because of this comment, the food is tasty, and anyway, it’s ideal for kids…(*)
It will be crucial for this recipe that you end up having nicely boiled potatoes without having flabby overcooked carrots. Try not to chop too fine chunks of carrots but make an effort with the potatoes.
(*) I actually meant kids' food in the sense that if I had to cook for a kid I didn't know, I might choose this dish as it's slightly sweet, and resembles Spaghetti Bolognese. Then again, I once cooked Spaghetti Bolognese for my then 7 year old niece and her friend, and guess what happened...
Smoked paprika sounds like an excellent idea! |
| Very delicious! In fact, I nearly would have awarded a five star rating if the ingredient proportions had been right. It was too watery to my taste, so I´d add less stock next time, and it could use more peas and possibly also more watercress. I loved the distinct taste of mint. We served this soup with an extra dollop of Greek yoghurt and sprinkled with crunchy bacon cubes. Fairly quick. |
