Mr Slater states that his favourite type of pasta is "....one capable of holding a sauce..."
Yesterday's chapter heading was "A new sauce for pasta " . Well for me , not only a new sauce but a new pasta too - orecchiette . Disappointingly I couldn't find this anywhere and had to substitute it with humaconi - I think as near in shape to the orecchiette as I could find.
The recipe was Orecchiette with aubergine, basil and lemon.
The sauce promised great things but in my opinion didn't deliver and was rather bland. The slightly caramelised onions gave it more taste but I felt it needed something more. Verdict - OK but don't think I will rush to make it again.
