i had a yummy lunch made for me today! it was spaghetti with finely sliced courgettes, mushrooms, onions, tomato and the odd carrot, and it smelled like a roast dinner while it was cooking, like stuffing 
it had a very thin gravy/sauce which was a slightly orange colour and didnt seem oily but was very herby. i have no idea what it was called but it was one of the yummiest things i've ever eaten! does anyone have any idea how i can recreate it? sorry i know its all a bit vague... my step mum said it was a top secret recipe and wouldnt share :rolleyes:
TIA

It maybe contained sage as that is a very "stuffing-y" smelling and tasting herb. Apart from that it sounds nice but like nothing I've ever tasted!!!!Laughing at my ancient signature...voodoobaby now 10 years old:eek:0

How about slicing up your veg very thinly and just coating in a slick of olive oil and then roasting at a fairly high temp. Meanwhile, prepare some granule gravy and put the chopped herbs in that. When the veggies are roasted, put in the gravy and put back into the oven until hot. Pour over spaghetti.
Might be worth a try0 -
Is it top secret because it came out of a packet? or a tin??Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?

Good luck! I can't understand people keeping recipes secret - to me it's a great compliment when someone enjoys what I've cooked - I ALWAYS give out recipes!! Please could a 'secret keeper' explain why they do it? I kind of understand when it's something which is given as gifts, like a Christmas cake, but I would still give it out myself.0

Yeah why keep secrets unless your hiding something?
Like it came out of a jar and well you dont actually have an Uncle Ben in your familyLove is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,

That sounds like ratatouille with spaghetti in to me.No big family secret about a common French dish

I keep lots of 'secrets' from the kids as I hide lots of veggies in their food but will always tell other people how I make something. It's a mystery to me too.
Good luck with your research though
