Ingredients
200g pasta of your choice
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
Leftover lamb meat, finely shredded
5 cream crackers, crumbled
1 cup of peas (frozen or leftover from the day before)
1 tsp mint sauce (optional)
1 fresh chilli, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Bring a large pot of water to the boil and simmer your pasta according to the recommended time on the packet. Mine takes eight minutes to cook which is just about the amount of time it takes to prepare the sauce.
In a wide, deep saucepan or frying pan, heat the olive oil on a medium heat.
Add the garlic, crumbled crackers and meat. Stir well until they begin to brown. Lower the heat, add the peas and coat in the sauce. If using mint sauce to accentuate the lamb add a teaspoon now.
Strain the (now cooked pasta) and add the pasta to your sauce. Stir until completely coated. with the crumbly cracker/garlic/lamb mixture.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve with chopped fresh chilli on top.
Lovely with a fresh green salad, roasted cherry tomatoes or garlic bread.
