MIM: Pasta with chorizo and peas

June 11, 2013 in Lunch, Meals in minutes, Pasta, Supper

I like the combination of pasta with chorizo. The addition of peas to this pasta dish ensures that the family gets to eat some vegetables and small children will love this dish.

This is a quick and easy meal to prepare and is perfect to serve during the week, when there is simply not enough time to spend hours in front of the stove.

I used farfalle pasta, but you can use any type of pasta that you prefer and the chorizo can be replaced by bacon.

It is Monday and time for some vegetarian fare. Mushrooms are so healthy, delicious and versatile and a good replacement for meat.

This dish is very quick to prepare and I have used a frozen corn and pea mixture, but you can use fresh peas on its own if you like.

Something old, something new

View from the side’s weekend theme is “something old, something new”. 

Since I had some very strange new visitors to my garden lately, I decided to do a post on mushrooms. 

My something old is two mushroom recipes, that I blogged about a long time ago. The first one is a mushroom soup and you can find the recipe here!

The second one is mushrooms stuffed with mashed peas and you can find the recipe here.

My something new is photos of strange mushrooms that were in my garden recently. We have an area under one specific tree where there are always mushrooms growing. They look like white and brown large mushrooms, similar to the brown mushrooms that can be bought at any greengrocer.

These ones are however totally different. This beautiful one was growing in my garden about a month ago:

These ones are growing in my garden currently. It seems like they start out looking like this:

 mushrooms 2

and then change to look like this:

 mushrooms 3

and in the end they look quite awful and colour everything around them black:

I have never seen mushrooms like these ones but find it quite intriguing. If you have any information about them please let me know.
