Weekday dinner party
We had some friends over for dinner on Friday, and I wanted to push the boat out a bit, but Friday being a (very!) working day and the week not allowing for any preparation in advance, I had to be a bit careful in choosing the dishes. In the end, I was too optimistic with the timing, as usual, but with the Boyfriends help, the dinner was a hit. This one should for sure be repeated for the right crowd.
Here it is. For the starter, goat cheese, mushroom, thyme, and puff pastry tart. For the main, home-made pasta with a tomato, sausage, and chicken sauce. For the salad, mixed salad with tomatoes cucumbers and spring onions. For the dessert, tarte Tatin.

Chorizo pasta
Spicy sauce with the Spanish sausage, add to that some very nice pasta, and you have yourself dinner fit for a king.
I made this dish using only ingredients I had at hand after not going to the store for four days—a long time in my world. Come to think of it, maybe you will learn more about me than about the recipe, knowing which things I hoard at home. Current count of tomato cans at home: 10.
