1 and a half ounce of rice, 1 oz of caster sugar, 1 knob of butter, 1.1 pint of milk, sprinkle some nutmeg add sultanas then bung it in the oven for 2 hours ...viola, you can also add carnation milk too, I usually do this when it's nearly cooked though.

A really quick & easy dish to make

Uncle Ben's 2 minute rice, peas, sweetcorn & diced ham. Fry diced ham in wok, add in peas & sweetcorn, cook rice in micro, throw it in wok then add 1/2 tin of chicken soup!!!! Fabulous and really quick, can add in spring onions if you like

Another easy pasta meal - cook pasta, then in wok cook onion, bacon, leek or peas add in a tub of mascarpone cheese a ladleful of the pasta water and melt togeter, then add the pasta into that mixture, season with basil & thyme, drizzle parmesan over to serve

Easiest white sauce in the world 15g plain flour (or cornflour), 50g butter & 300ml milk. Melt butter, add flour, reduce heat & slowly add milk, stirring all the time so it doesn't go lumpy.

Then to make a cheese sauce add grated cheese to your taste. To make a tangy sauce add wholegrain mustard or English mustard. To make a gravy, substitute the milk for water or stock.

Hi,

Just make a thick cheesy sauce and add pasta.

Blob of butter melted, stir in as much cornflour as you can, then add milk and slowly heat stirring continuously. Add cheese to taste. Then pour over pasta and bake.

Google american recipes for "mac n cheese" and pick one that has eggs added to it as well. It sets the pasta like a quiche when backed and is delicious with loads of grated cheese over the top (before baking).
