I've never been much of a cook, but it's something I'd love to try and get better at. I've got a growing family and as much as freezer food is serving them now, when they're older I'd like to be able to cook them something genuinely nice.

This recipe is really easy and quick. The only thing to watch out for is to move the pasta around a bit at the beginning as it softens so it doesn't all stick in one clump. It's really good if you toss in some thawed pre-cooked shrimp for the last 5 minutes or so.

Also don't underestimate the comforting smell of home made bread. It's easier than you think but just takes forethought. Fresh buttered bread turns a simple soup or stew into something special.
