Grilled pepper and sausage pasta

June 23, 2010 by Katie Bryson

I’m writing this entry through the fog of extreme fatigue. The boys wouldn’t go to bed last night and then Arlo screamed non-stop from about 4.30am – delightful. I feel rough as a badger’s behind.

Anyway, enough of my whinging. On a more positive note, last night’s dinner worked well. You know you’re in with a chance of pleasing the troops when you’re combining sausages and pasta.

This version was a little number I found on the Waitrose website: http://www.waitrose.com/recipe/Grilled_pepper_and_sausage_penne.aspx

It doesn’t involve many ingredients so there’s not much prepping to do. This was fortunate coz we’d got back later than planned from a playdate and Arlo was in ankle biting mode. I fended him off with Cheerios while I cooked – these are perfect for keeping him entertained coz you can just keep chucking a handful on the tray of his highchair.

I was worried he’d be too full of cereal to eat his dinner.  How foolish. He devoured an entire bowl of dinner no problemo. Never underestimate Arlo ‘the appetite’ Bryson!

Sam loved it too as did Matthew. Tick!

The recipe said to use 6 oak smoked sausags with Italian herbs. But I just used a pack of 8 cumberland which worked really well. I’ve also saved the oil from the grilled peppers jar. I thought it’d be nice to drizzle over my favourite lunch of the moment – mozzarella and tomato salads. Did you know you can get a ball of mozzarella in Waitrose for 90p?! It’s their Essential range.

Oh yes, if you have a minute and are feeling generous – please vote for my blog in the Dorset Cereals Little Blog Awards. I’m trying to raise my profile and this would REALLY help 🙂 You can find the link on the right hand side of this page.

I’m off for a caffeine fix…

Beautiful little book the audience were all given Beautiful little book the audience were all given at last night’s performance of #Here from @curious.monkey_ at @northern_stage. Such a powerful performance from the talented cast bringing together individual stories of what it means to seek sanctuary in the North East, the friendships that are forged and the spark of hope that refuses to be snuffed out. With the plight of refugees so visible right now,  the timing of this performance was impeccable. #RefugeesWelcome #togetherwithrefugees🧡 #StoryCollectors
