So this is an absolute classic pasta dish. I’s originally from Rome and the original perfect recipe says no onion. But I like just a little in it!! Hubby always complains.. he’s Italian..
ingredients :
Can of chopped tomatoes
Some slices of pancetta( smoked bacon), diced
A glove of garlic finely chopped
A small shallot( optional)
Salt pepper olive oil
Pasta
chop the onion garlic 
and put in a frying pan with a tablespoon of oil 
then add the chopped bacon
add the chopped tomatoes, salt pepper and if you want a teaspoon of sugar just to take away the acidity of the tomatoes.
Cook for about 40 mins on a low heat
put the flour together with the yeast crumbled in , in a big bowl. Mix well with your hands so that the yeast is well rubbed in 
add the olive oil 
and some warm water, start mixing with a wooden spoon and then once it is all mixed , continue mixing and kneading with your hands, add water if you think it’s necessary.
you should get a nice round ball 
cover with either cling film or a tea towel and put somewhere warm to rise, i make it a few hours before and it rises beautifully 
roll out on a floured board and put on a baking tray, cover with topping of the choice, we like, chopped tin tomatoes, and add salt pepper oregano and a dash of oil
serve hot!
so what we have are a carton of already cooked chick peas, drain and rinse them. I egg( yolk only) beaten, a tablespoon of mustard, and one of ketchup, a shallot diced finely, salt pepper and some flour
put everything in a bowl, all the ingredients apart from the flour, and blend with a hand processor until smooth but there are still some chick peas left whole. 
see, it looks a mess but I promise it will taste amazing! 
put some flour on a work surface and make roundish shapes like small burgers and roll in the flour until both sides are covered.
I like to have them with mashed cheesy potatoes or a salad!
place one of the puff pastries on a baking tray and put the fish on it
cover with the other one and close it. Oh sorry forgot, before putting the other puff pastry on, cover with the spinach and cheese mix!
in a roasting tin just chuck them all in, I tend to boil for a few mins the beans and cauliflower and then add them to the other veg
make a sauce of mustard, a tablespoon, salt, pepper and olive oil. Pour over the veg and mix well, you can also put it on after they’re done.
and here we have them.
grease and lightly flour a loose baking tray 
put flour choc salt baking powder in a bowl
sift it all together and leave to one side 
mix sugar and butter together until
add the three eggs! Beaten in one at a time to the sugar butter mixture 
add the dry ingredients to the egg and sugar mix 
and some milk and mix until it is light and like a chocolate mousse
pour into the baking tray and put in a pre heated oven for about 40 mins, at 160 degrees.
add the vegetables 
and stock and turkey . Leave to boil for about 30 min
once the turkey is cooked take out the veg and put in a separate bowl to the turkey.
add the veg and the chicken to the dice and leave to cool 
meanwhile..Arthur is thinking about doing the washing up 
I’ve used 2 rolls of puff pastry shop bought is fine 
put the turkey and veg in an oven proof dish
cover with the pastry and make some decorations if you want , cover with a beaten egg
and here we have Arthur. Getting ready to start. 
fry the speck, not oil or butter is needed, for about 2 mins and leave to cool
then fry the onions until soft, add a tablespoon of flour and half a teaspoon of sugar( brown or white) cook for a minute
add the frozen peas, parsley and chicken stock and leave to boil, then simmer for about 5 mins .
once cooked, with a food processor blend the soup well.
while I cook.. Arthur had found the perfect resting place.
