This is a nice quick dish and the Ingredients for it are pretty basic

• Onions (I used shallots once again .. softer flavour)
• Pancetta (Bacon / cured ham of some sort you could chop up a couple of rashers if you wanted)
• Mushrooms (I’d have generally used button mushroom but I used some Shiitake Mushrooms here as there’s a nicer flavour from them
• Cream
• Pasta (ideally you’d use tagliatelle in this case I used fusilli)

Steps:

1. Chop the onion and throw it on the pan with a bit of olive oil (I chopped the onion in half and sliced it rather than chopping up really small)
2. Throw the Pancetta onto the pan as well and cook a bit (I usually end up removing excess fatty bits cus I’m like that)
3. Chop the mushrooms up again I kept it fairly big and throw on the pan cook for a few minutes
4. Stick on your pasta (depending on cooking times)
5. Throw the cream in and wait for it to thicken up a bit
6. Drain your pasta and mix the sauce into it in the sauce pan
7. If you’ve got parmesan cheese now would be a good time to use it

And enjoy ..

This turned out rather nicely 9/10 from me .. the Fusilli may not have been the best choice in the world but it was still a really nice dish about 15 – 20 minutes from start to finish.

So it is Ciabatta with tomato,onion, ham and cheese .. you could grill or oven cook this depending on what you want to do

Ingredients you’ll need

• I like to use vine cherry tomatoes they’ve got better flavour
• I like ciabatta though I’ve used a baguette for this in the past as well
• Red onion is a subtler flavour and less likely to repeat … this time I used some shallots
• Butter .. this requires a good chunk depends on the amount of bread / ciabatta you’ve got. (as well as how crunchy you want it all – 50 to 100g)
• A few slices of ham

You’ll want the usual herbs / spices as well (Basil if you’ve got some or maybe parsley .. and black pepper)

1. Start pre heating your oven to 200C
2. Chop up your onion pretty finely and fry up in the pan with some olive oil … (I like to add some water to cook the onion it helps kill some of the sharpness as well)
3. Throw in the chopped up tomatoes
4. Cook for a minute or two and add in the butter you should have a semi runny mix you want this to be runny
5. Slice your ciabatta down the center and spread the mix evenly on it.
6. Place in the over for a few minutes
7. In the mean time shred up your ham (I just ripped it apart with my fingers)
8. If your Ciabatta looks like its starting to brown take it out .. throw the ham on top and sprinkle some cheese on as well (I didn’t go crazy with the cheese) throw on some freshly ground pepper and some basil if you’ve got some (I didn’t have any handy)
9. Back in the oven for another minute or two

And serve

Going to give this one a 7/10 its quick (less than 20 minutes) and tasty
