If you’ve been following my blog, you will know that I love my quick meals that takes minutes to prepare and seeing as my kitchen has been DRASTICALLY downsized before the big move, here are more quick and healthy meals that I have been preparing.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!💛

Last Thursday I was already busy in the kitchen at 8am whipping up a packed lunch for my husband as there were no leftovers from the previous night’s dinner for him to take to work like he usually does.
So I made this super simple pasta dish that took 10 mins to prepare.
Ingredients
• 4 to 5 Baby plum tomatoes (cut into halves)
• 1 to 2 cloves of garlic (sliced width wise)
• Half tsp chilli flakes
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• Spaghettini pasta, enough for 2 people (takes 3 mins to cook)
• sea salt & cracked black pepper
• Lots of extra virgin olive oil
Method
1. In a skillet, add the olive oil & garlic. Let it simmer on a low heat so the oil is infused with the flavour.
2. Add your chilli flakes & dried parsley.
3. Turn the heat up a little and sauté the halved baby plum tomatoes.
4. Once slightly soft, toss in the cooked pasta and coat with the flavours.
Add more chilli flakes & dried parsley if you desire!
I’m also so happy to say that 2 people decided to make this dish that same day after seeing my posts on My Simple Delights’ Facebook & Instagram page!
Happy cooking!💛

I had a good friend who stopped over for a weekend visit from Manchester before heading back to Poland to spend Easter with her family. So, for the last 3 days, my days and evenings were spent being a tour guide.
Seeing as it was her first time in Spain, we were out almost all day, everyday and I did not spend any time in the kitchen cooking at all! With all that going on, I did not do any food shopping so today’s lunch was very simple.
What you will need…
• Fresh Tagliatelle
• Tinned tuna
• Pesto
• Rocket leaves
• Cracked black pepper
Method
1. In a pot, bring water to boil and drop the tagliatelle. Cook this for 5 to 6 mins.
2. Drain water, return the tagliatelle to the pot and add the tuna, pesto & cracked black pepper. Stir well.
3. Add the fresh rocket leaves, stir it around and serve with a sprinkle of grated parmesan.
Simple yet tasty!
I will get myself round to food shopping once I have recovered from all the walking my friend and I did!
Happy Tuesday to all! 😊
