And so, we come to the end of the "Quick Pasta" chapter, and it ends how it starts: with a tomato sauce. This was another fine meal, and very simple to cook. Curiously, the pasta dishes that are based around tomatoes don't seem to suffer from the lack of meat the way that the others do.
Anyway, this brings the score to 4-3 against for the "Quick Pasta" chapter. The winner was "Classic Tomato Spahgetti", while the clear loser was "Pasta al Pangrattato".
The next chapter is "Tasty Stir-fries", which on the face of it should be a winner. (That said, the same was true of "Quick Pasta".) The first dish to try is "Chicken Chow Mein", which is obviously a classic.
Incidentally: my fish count for the year currently stands at 4. In addition to the anchovies (bleagh!) I had in the Pasta al Pangrattato, I also had tuna sandwiches for lunch three days last week. I'm still not a fan of tuna, but it was a reasonable substitute for the meat/salad sandwiches I've been having for the past five months.
