One of those "vague" recipes

This is one of those meals that I chuck together when I haven't got anything else in or really can't be bothered to do any serious cooking! I've deliberately not included specific amounts because you can add things in quantities as you fancy.

Ingredients:
Pasta
Large knob of butter
Garlic
Chilli (dried or fresh) or Hot Tobasco Sauce (optional)

All the following to be roughtly chopped:-
Tomatoes
Onions
Courgettes
Carrots (finely chopped)
Red Peppers

Bacon - optional
Cream cheese


Method:
Put the pasta onto boil

Grill the bacon

In a separate pan, melt the butter and add the chopped onions and soften gently.

Add the garlic and chilli (to taste but I use lots!) and cook for another minute.

Add the tomatoes and cook until they are soft

Add the rest of the vegetables and cook until just done.

Chop the bacon (if using) and add to the vegetables

Stir in a goodly dollop of cream cheese (I use goat's cheese but any cream cheese will do)

Strain the pasta when cooked and stir it into the vegetable mix.

Serve!
