How come all men seem to be able to cobble together a decent spag bol?? :thinking:
 
because we'd starve otherwise

although i can actually cook - my baked alaska was famous at college. Lots of other guys could try to impress the girls with their cars, or their electric guitar etc, but i wass the only one who could show them how to put ice cream in a baking hot oven without melting it

knocked their socks off (along with most of their other under garments :lol: )

Even beans on toast (:gag:) they could burn both:lol:

hardly - it is first necessary to make the sauce by reducing tomatoes, onions, olive oil, red wine, finely chopped basil, fennel seed, olives, and chopped mushrooms, and chopped bacon over a low heat , while you brown the mince in another pan

then you have to make the fresh pasta from scratch ( I prefer taglitteli to tradditional spaghetti), put it through a pasta machine, and then flash cook it by dropping it into boiling salted water and a glug of EV olive oil to stop it sticking together

then at the last minuite you stir double cream (or creme fraiche for the diet conscious) into the sauce, drain the fat from the mince then combine it with the sauce - serve the pasta , and portion over the thick meaty sauce, garnish with fresh basil leaves and a dollop of cream and a small bowl of freshly grated parmesan on the side.

for a spicier slighly spanish twist you can substitute chopperd chorizo for the bacon in the sauce.

"chuck it in a pan and hope" - pah :annoyed: :lol:

Having done all that, plus made anti pasti to start, and a lemon cheese cake for desert (over an ameretti biscuit base - naturally) I think i'm entitled to marvel at how fantastic I am - although generally the young lady i'm cooking for will do the marvelling for me ;)

Someone is going to get her botty smacked (yet again)

No cook worth his salt is going to use that preprepared sauce rubbish - for one thing the herbs lose their piquancy - which is why I grow mine fresh , in a large herb planter on the patio (and a smaller one on the window sil for those that need to be kept warm)

Sorry Sarah, but you know we have to let these poor deluded men think they do ;)
