• 1.2 kg floury potatoes
• ¼ cup chives or a small onion finely chopped
• 2 eggs lightly beaten
• 1/3 c self raising flour
• Cheese
• Oil
• Toppings: tomatoes, rocket, mushrooms, ham, chorizo, olives or whatever is your favourite J

Preheat the oven to 200C or 180 fan bake. Line two trays with baking paper.

Coursely grate the scrubbed potatoes into a large bowl and squeeze out any excess liquid. Add a little lemon juice to prevent discolouring. Mix in the flour, chives, egg and season well with salt and pepper.

Devide the mixture between the two trays and spread out to about 25cm round with the back of a spoon. Spray with cooking oil and bake for about 30 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and cover with grated cheese and grill until melted. Top off with your rocket, extra vegetables and cooked meats and eat up!

• 400g spiral pasta
• 1 ½ c fresh or frozen peas
• ½ c freshly grated parmesan
• 2 tbs olive oil
• 2/3 c ricotta
• Fresh herbs

Cook the pasta in boiling water for 7 minutes and then add in the peas and continue to cook until the pasta is al dente.

Place the grated parmesan and olive oil into a large bowl and mix to a paste, then add in the ricotta and combine the ingredients with some salt and pepper.

Drain the pasta and peas, saving some of the pasta water. Add the hot pasta into the cheese mixture and mix until the pasta is well coated, thinning the sauce with the pasta water if necessary.

Serve immediately with a sprinkling of fresh herbs.
