Since my Nonna is long gone, I need a judgement:

Ingredients: Leftover ham, diced Onion, diced Garlic, crushed Peas, frozen 3 eggs, scrambled Cheddar cheese, shredded Salt, pepper, and nutmeg, to taste Pasta, your choice Mustard, to taste

Instructions: Dice the stuff that needs dicing.
Start heating pasta water. Sweat the onions till translucent. Add pasta to pasta water. Add garlic to onions. Add ham to garlic and onions. Whisk eggs, cheese, salt, pepper, mustard, and nutmeg together in a large bowl.
Add peas to garlic, onions, and jam. Add some of the pasta water to the garlic, onions, peas, and ham. Drain the pasta and immediately toss with the egg cheese mixture. Immediately add all of the ham, peas, garlic, and onion and toss. Serve immediately with more mustard in the side.

I've been experimenting on babys lately, so here is tonight's samhain version:

Preheat oven and pan to 220c

Ingredients:

4 eggs. 2 cups ap flour. 200ml milk. 200ml water. Salt. Pepper. Nutmeg.

Make baby batter:

Add all to blender, blend at low speed until smooth. Or just whisk it in a bowl. Let rest 30 mins

Cook the baby:

Add butter to hot pan, then all the baby batter. Immediately throw the baby in the oven.

After about 10 minutes turn the oven down to 420 so you don't burn the baby.

The baby should be GBD about 20 minutes after that, it's better to be a little over than under, no one wants a soggy bottomed baby!

Happy Halloween!

But only if it's Dutch.
