At my previous company, this recipe became famous, and liked so much, that its on their internal Wiki. So I thought Id share it with you guys. It has many variations, but the base stays the same. This recipe doubles well, so when you need to cook for 40, just multiply until happy. This batch servers about 10.

Fry your onion in some water in a big pot. Add your Cans of beans, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.Add in your pasta, Make sure there is enough water in the pot to cover everything, If not, add BOILING water. After about 20 minutes, add a tablespoon sweet basil, and a tablespoon of spice for mince or chicken stock, and a big dash of pepper to taste. Remember, the pepper taste comes out after it has simmered.

Wait until pasta is cooked completely. (the pasta will be soft).Just for safety wait 10 minutes more, and add the cream, let it simmer for 5 mins more, and serve with buns.

To give it more volume, ive added kidney beans, and peas. You can add any beans you want. Even fresh ones. I just use canned beans cause its quick, and due to the fact that I cook this at the office, thats important.

Just to recap, here are the ingredients.

Ingreedients :

1 x Tin Bakebeans in tomato sauce (for more volume add one more tin)

1 x Tin Greenbeans

1 x Tin Boer/Butter beans

1 x Pack of Pasta Shells (others dont cook as well)

6 x Garlic Cloves

1 x medium onion

1 x container of cream

Buns
Spices :

pepper,Spice for mince/chickenstock,Sweet basil

Most things, as usual are avaliable from woolworths. The spice for mince is not avaliable from the place around the corner from my office, Really wish theyd get it, as I always forget to bring it in the morning.

Enjoy!

So Today I made a Pasta, nice and healthy one. But tasty.

To start I took a bag of organic Fussili(get it from Woolworths, Its a wee more expensive, but really really tasty).You can use any pasta really, I just like that one. Threw it into a pot,with some boiling water and some salt.

The sauce is really simple. Chop up one onion, and half a bulb of garlic(I really like garlic), and brown it in a small saucepan. Chop up three odd mid sized tomatoes and add in and cook till nice and soft. Destone some green olives, and just throw them in.Throw in a bag of spinach.(I used the lovely bagged baby spinach from Woolworths, 200g i think) Put the lid on, and let the spinach go soft. Add in about a table spoon of Worcestershire sauce, a dash of salt and pepper, and I used some chicken stock just for some nicety. Let it simmer for a bit, and its ready. While its simmering, drain the pasta.

I served todays meal with the sauce dolloped on top, with chunks of a ‘boerenkaas’. I accidentally grabbed the wrong cheese, and it turned out to be awesome. Really really tasty.

Eat it while its still warm. It doesn’t work so nicely cold.

Just to recap, here are the ingredients. I got all of them from Woolworths as they are a couple houses down from my office. Its a pain. But thanks to them I can cook what I want when I want to. Would be nice if they got some more spices though

1 pack pasta (preferably organic fussili)
3 tomatoes
1/2 bulb garlic
1 onion
200g Spinach
Cheese (I used boerenkaas)
1 bag of Green Olives

Spices
Chicken stock
mixed spice from Woolworths
salt + pepper

So since I last posted. I got a girlfriend. broke up, my mother moved out, bought a car, Started a choir,joined a choir,made some good friends, lost some friends, went to an amazing wedding and some other stuff. But I cant remember much of it. Anyhow, so heres the list.

I started dating a flautist in windband, just before we went to germany. It was pleasant. But once returned to real life, I realized we arent that compatible.

My mother moved back to PE. So Now we live on our own here. And its going farly well, save for a couple of small inconvieniences. She seems happy down there. she misses us alot thought.

I bought myself a Polo playa, to replace the golf. Its Plumb. Quite nice.Lovely gimicks. like adjustable lights, and it has a drawer under each seat. so I can keep my crap neat and tidy

We auditioned for the Highway childrens choir last week. we have a nice number of children and tuesday we are having the first parents meeiting. Im quite excited. Luke is conducting and Im Managing as usual.

I also joined a choir. The Durban Symphonic Choir. Seems fun. Though I am the youngest in the choir at the moment. But we will see how its singing with a proper choir again.

Ive met some interesting people. Cobus Venter, A JHB based actor who is living with us while a show is running down here. Ive also started spending more time with some of my colleagues from work, and I met a client who is actually a real awesome guy. Something else, now that Ive moved company, My friendship with Chantal has improved alot. We spend a decent amount of time together. All is bliss.

I seem to be loosing a friend or three. just because either they have progressed passed what I can provide, or just have lost interest in my friendship. Im rather miffed about  it. They are still frienly to me, but the closeness is gone. But hey. thats life. People come and people go. Hope they will come back though

I also went to an awesome wedding. This was the first wedding that I attended as an adult. It was amazing. It was beautifull. It was elegant. And the people were amazing.

Anyhow, I will try and post more often. I will have morestuff to post I think.

Ciao!
