So, let's cook.

I felt like a lighter dish tonight, so I improvised a bit. These are the ingredients for a "Summery Spaghetti" dish (amount of each ingredient after personal preference):

tomatoes,
spring onions,
some bouillon,
cubed smoked ham or Pancetta,
creme fraiche,
some parmesan for decoration,
pasta of choice.

Preparation is easy and quick:

Start the pasta water. Chop the onions and cut the tomatoes in half:

When the pasta water is boiling, fry the ham cubes in a hint of olive oil:


As soon as the ham gets fragrant, add the onions and stir fry for a few moments:


Add the bouillon and let it simmer for about 4 minutes, then add the creme fraiche and let it dissolve:



Finish line:
When the pasta is done, add the tomatoes to the sauce and turn off the heat so they will not boil:


DONE!
Serve separately and top off with some parmesan if wanted:


Enjoy!

And please share your thoughts and/or dishes, it's getting a bit lonely in here.

Looks yummy Chef.  One quick and easy pasta dish I like to make is a proscuitto linguine alfredo.  You will need:

16 oz of linguine
1/4" thick slice of proscuitto ham, cut up into 1/4" cubes
1 15 oz can of baby peas and pearl onions, drained
1 26 oz jar of alfredo sauce
1 block of parmesan cheese
1 sprig of parsely


Saute the proscuitto cubes in a frying pan (no oil needed, the proscuitto will exude all the oil you need). When it starts to get fragrant, add the peas and onions. When the onions just start to carmelize, add the alfredo sauce (amount is your own preference, but save some for the breadsticks). Continue heating on low,  while the pasta is cooked according to directions on the package.  When pasta is done, drain and add to the sauce. Toss until well coated.  Serve it up (should make 6 healthy portions).  Shave a little fresh parmesan on top, garnish with some finely chopped parsely.  

I also like to top it with some freshly grated peppercorns.   Serve some garlic breadsticks on the side (great for dipping in the alfredo sauce), a mixed greens salad with balsamic vinagrette and a nice Chianti.

Sorry no pics - but if I make it this weekend, will add some.  Buon appetito!
