Hi Eowyn,
Need I say more than Haggis, black pudding (it's called blood pudding in the US), white pudding (it's black pudding minus the blood) and the next one will get Google overloaded s it is called Mealy Bag.
A modern family recipe I am passing down is a poor man's Carbonara. One pot and one frying pan (skillet) or two pots (two of what ever used and it saves on the washing up) one of them has to be something to boil water in (I thinks that is called a pot) lol
Preparation.
Slice onions, mushrooms, garlic, tomatoes and grate some cheese, get some favourite Italian herbs and or spices.
Start a pot of boiling water, heat the frying pan/skillet. Cook pasta as normal.
Fry everything else and add herbs and or spices as appropriate (if dry spices add them early if the spices are fresh add later towards the end of the frying), fresh herbs add towards the end, apart from the cheese leaving the tomatoes to a minute or two from the end (depends on how "watery" the tomatoes are).
Drain the fried ingredients, drain pasta toss fried ingredients into pasta, place back on a low heat and add cheese (fresh herbs are good to add at this point), stir until cheese is nicely melted and cover pasta and other ingredients ( fresh ground black pepper can be good here as well).
Serve and enjoy.
All the best
Billy
