The kids are so busy after school with music lessons, youth club, boys brigade and other activities that it really can be a rush at dinner time. So I was keen to come up with something mega speedy that could be rustled up in minutes and that tasted really good too.
So #ThankGoodness for Dolmio. I threw in some other storecupboard (and freezer ingredients) and hey presto - speedy, tasty and nutritious dinner.
If you've not picked up a jar of Dolmio recently, I'd really recommend taking a look at the great infographic on their website. How brilliant that a whopping 10 tomatoes goes into every 500g jar!
Dolmio & Frankfurter Simple Speedy Spaghetti
Here's what you'll need to make our super-easy supper with Dolmio:
1 x 500g jar Dolmio original
Wholewheat spaghetti
1 pack good quality frankfurters
frozen red onion (equivalent to 1 red onion)
frozen sweetcorn (1 handful)
frozen peas (1 handful)
a little rapeseed oil for frying
fresh basil and / or salad to serve if desired
Method:
1. Cook the spaghetti according to pack instructions
2. Fry the red onion in a little rapeseed oil. Chop the frankfurters into slices and add until browned.
3. Add the frozen peas and sweetcorn, followed by the jar of Dolmio.
4. Simmer for a few minutes.
5. Serve the spaghetti and the Dolmio and frankfurter sauce on top or stir it all together as you prefer.
6. Serve with basil or salad as you wish.
SO simple. SO speedy and tastes SO super!
And here's the bonus...A second speedy meal the following day.
Leftover Spaghetti Nests
With the leftovers, simply lightly greased either a muffin pan or silicone cupcake cases, place little nests of the spaghetti and Dolmio mixture into them, Top with a little crumbled cheddar and pop in the oven at 180C for approximately 15-20 minutes.
You end up with cute little spaghetti nests that the kids will just adore!
We hope you enjoyed our super simple recipe packed with goodness that makes us say #ThankGoodness for #Dolmio

Love your recipe. Shame you missed out on the hamper, as they sent a bundle of goodies. I made a chicken dish last night and doing spaghetti tomorrow
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at all these lovely ingredients on instagram photos and feel gutted to have missed it! But I was keen to make something speedy with storecupboard staples so that it is easy to do mid-week even when the fridge is looking empty! x
