Spaghetti Bolognaise or Lasagne - make it special
« on: April 28, 2012, 07:18:20 am »
This is purely a hint. DD discovered it in the latest Donna Hay magazine. Just before you  cook up the meat for your dish (using your favourite recipe) add 2 chorizo sausages, cubed,  and cook them up. It adds a new dimension to the recipe.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Yum but DH can't eat chorizos. Perhaps I could take it for DS

Try doing the same with anchovies.

I second that. I often add anchovies into pasta sauce recipes.  They dissolve away, and add a subtle depth of flavour to the dish.

Does it add much spiciness I wonder? My littlest wouldn't go for that.

I've been adding a dollop of umami to mine and that's been making it yummier than ever.

Good job SuzieG, was just going to add this idea…(of course!)

I know you are all going to think this is strange,  but try adding some ground cinnamon and a bit of Golden Syrup to the sauce.  I do this.

I'll give it a go Chookie. I use umami heaps but only went with the chorizo this time. It doesn't add any spiciness that I could notice.

Something sweet but not too much definately adds alot to something like pasta or bolognaise sauce.. I do that too.. Never tried golden syrup though that would be nice..have to go by taste though so add a little at a time as too much can ruin it..yum

Chorizo in bolognaise would be a huge hit in our house. Thanks for the hint.
