THE ESSENTIALS & RECIPE IDEAS

Brindisa Sofrito & Fritada sauces with spagetti

This is as simple and easy as it gets for a easy, delicious lunch or dinner.

Method

Simply put a pan of salted water to boil and add the spaghetti. 

Slowly heat up a jar of either of the Brindisa sauces and after the pasta has been drained, add it to the sauce. 

Additions: if this is too simple for you, use the sauce as a great base for a more adventurous pasta dish. Add some cooking chorizo to the sauce, or even some anchovies!

Navarrico Chickpeas and Perello Butterbeans

Here are some fantastic recipes that use these ready-to-cook beans.

BUTTERBEANS WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

MONIKA'S GO-TO FAIL SAFE MEAL

Pan fried white beans (from a jar in haste) with chopped fresh tomatoes, garlic, sweet onion and parsley. No sides, so I do add spinach for some green!

MONIKA'S TOP TIP FOR COOKING AT HOME...

Think ahead and cook calmly. I often don't look at the clock - especially for weekday suppers - and find myself flapping to feed the household. The days I plan and consider I love, even after a long day's work, as for me it's a way of banishing the feeling of being on the treadmill of daily grind.
