ventaI have just had a bowl of pasta and Dolmio "Stir-In Sauce" for tea. (Bear with me, I've been ill in bed for a few days and wasn't up to feats of culinary genius).
I don't wish to knock Mr Dolmio's Stir-In sauce. As cheap and cheerful convenience food goes, it's not at all bad. It was "Sun-dried Tomato Light", if you want to know.
The instructions on the packet suggest one should "... stir one pot of sauce into 300g of hot freshly cooked pasta." Which is fine. It then goes on to add:
"Perfect for two people looking for a bit more excitement."
What ? More excitement than not stirring reduced-fat tomato sauce into your pasta ? How can people live at such speed ?
