ThePaddlerUK 60 Buon appetito and happy paddling – all over Europe All of the items mentioned are good with pasta and don’t forget to add a little of the cooking water to the sauce to thicken it. Also soak your pasta in cold water for an hour and a half, drain and then plunge it into salted boiling water for a minute until al dente and serve thus saving 10 minutes worth of fuel! Plastic wine glasses add an air of refinement; a glass of wine, frying off some onions is a good way to stimulate the gastric juices and the imagination. Can’t be bothered, then go to www.lookwhatwefound.co.uk whom supply a large range of quality pre-cooked meals using farm produce such as Gloucester Old Spot Pork meatballs in a sauce – portions are around 300gms. I use them myself and I would add some tagliatelle pasta to them, as they is only just enough for a hungry person and you will need the extra energy to haul the additional weight when portaging!
