| this one's quick, hot and over in 20 minutes
sound like anyone you've dated? honestly, with a little multi tasking, anyone can pull this one off a good olive oil, parmesan and fresh pepper are the three cornerstone ingredients here as a rule of thumb, I don't like anyone seeing me in the kitchen for more than 10 minutes. whether I'm feeding a lover or a football team, I want people leaving with the thought that I threw it all together effortlessly menus like this make that an easy task to pull off when you are caught short of prep time. here's the time frame: 20 mins out: put a pot of salted water on to boil 18 mins out: put out some plates, throw a string of party lights onto the table, uncork the wine 15 mins out: heat some olive oil in a skillet, add garlic, bacon, anchovies and broccoli, pre heat the oven for the bread 10 mins out: throw some pasta into the boiling water 8 mins out: toss some arugula and salad fixings into a bowl, splash over some olive oil, lemon juice and cracked pepper. put a baguette onto some baking parchment, douse it in olive oil and sea salt...place it in the oven 5 mins out: grate the parmesan and chop some parsley 2 mins out: drain the pasta, toss it into the skillet and add some extra olive oil 0 mins out: smile and serve
