    I'm finding it hard to get back into the groove after having been away for work. Have just been to the shops today with a basic mealplan as follows:

    Thur - spinach, carrots and tortellini 'in brodo'; HM garlic bread

    Sun - chickpea and roasted vegetable bake

    These sound really tasty! What does 'in brodo' mean :confused: Any chance of a quick idea of how you make them?
    sun - Curry pie

    Sounds interesting. Could you give me a vague idea of how you make it? Detailed recipe isn't necessary. Pretty please?

    I'm going to have to join this thread I think. I really need to kick my *rs* into gear and do meal plans more often!

    Hi Justamum - tortellini 'in brodo' means that the tortellinis are swimming in stock, so it is more like a soup than a solid pasta dish. It is one of my recurring quick meals when we have been to town shopping and back too late to do anything more substantial.
    Basically I take a pack of HM stock from the freezer, quickly defrost in the MW and bring to the boil (in the pressure cooker this is an even faster meal). I pop in a few handfuls of tortellinis, and maybe some grated carrot if I have carrots or some other vegetable kicking around. Cook till the tortellinis are done. This time I also had a bag of spinach that needed finishing, so I melted in some shredded spinach at the end, until just wilted. Serve with a grinding of parmesan cheese and crusty bread.
    As for the chickpeas and roasted veg, this is also very simple: I take several veggies that roast well, such as courgette, peppers, mushrooms, shallots, garlic and roast them (in the Remoska). Once they are about done, I add cooked chick peas and diced fresh (or tinned) tomatoes, shuffle it all around, top with parmesan and put the Remoska lid back on to cook until the cheese is golden and all is bubbling nicely.
