Baked Spaghetti Tangle

Its Friday evening and the house is empty Lee is down the pub and the boy's are round their cousins house ! This means that I can cook whatever I want for dinner just for me.

This is what I made and it was so good I will try again with different flavour combinations.  The recipe is from Nigel Slaters book EAT.

The recipe below is for 4, so I halved it and ate half and half again !

Preheat oven to 180 C
Spaghetti 500 g
Pancetta 12 slices cut up
4 cloves garlic
vegetable stock 200ml
double cream 400ml
large handful parmesan cheese

Boil the spaghetti 10 mins until al dente then drain and rinse under cold water.
Fry the pancetta and garlic in a little olive oil until crisp.
In a bowl toss the spaghetti, pancetta, vegetable stock and cream together.
Season with ground black pepper.
Tip into a baking dish and sprinkle with parmesan.
Bake at 180 C for 30 mins.

Going to try the leftovers cold for lunch tomorrow, if Lee doesn't eat it when he returns from pub.
