Jac asked me what I felt like eating for dinner, and I told her pasta bolognese. She said that was what she’d cook. For the next little while, we were each in our favourite rooms in the house – she, in the kitchen, cooking. Me, in my study on the computer. Some time later, she called me to dinner.
I emerged from my study expecting to see bowls of pasta, but instead I found Jac grinning and slicing up a crispy garlic and salt pizza.
She’d used a thin and crispy pizza base from the supermarket, brushed it with butter and olive oil and topped it with crushed fresh garlic, salt and parsley before baking it in the oven. It smelled absolutely wonderful.
I started with two slices but in the end I think I ate about four! :D
The only minced meat we happened to have in the house was turkey mince, so that’s what Jac used. As I munched on my first couple of slices of pizza, she served up turkey bolognese on the linguine pasta. It looked great, all bright and red and juicy, with plenty of turkey mince, tomatoes, mushrooms and onions.
I ate a couple of slices of pizza dipped into the pasta sauce. Mmm, it was good. This was one of the tastiest bolognese sauces EVER! I said to Jac “Make sure you remember EXACTLY what you did so you can do it again!” :D
There was some bolognese left, so Jac froze some and used the rest to make a few turkey bolognese puffs!
Mmm, bolognese in puff pastry is good too.

I’d ask Jac to marry me, but she’s yours. :-(
I’m going to buy my husband a cookbook for Christmas with the words HINT HINT written across the front. :-p
That pizza…yum! :-D I can imagine how delectable it must have been; the aroma, flavours, crunch. And the bolognese looks fabulous too, including the puff pastry.
*sigh* I can only dream of emerging from this home office with such a terrific meal awaiting me. Lucky you TFP!
Those noodles look amazing; are they homemade, or store-bought?
Mmmmmmm this all look very yummy. Especially the pizza. I can just smell the oven baked garlic smell right now!
It’s amazing how much Jac could whip up in what I’m assuming is a short span of time… they all look really good, esp the pizza and the bolog sauce… SLURP!
I love the pizza idea! That Jac is a keeper!
I love the way Jac is so inventive in her leftovers. Mine normally end up in salads or pasta!
That pizza looks amazing! Fresh crushed garlic on bread is one of my favorites!
Mmmm! Pls give my regards and thanks to Jac, I’m gonna try leftovers in pastry next time!
Mmm I must try the bolognese puffs, they look like tasty little things.
