Sweet Potato Tagliatelle Bolognaise

Sweet Potato Tagliatelle Bolognaise

Bolognaise is a staple here but traditional Wheat based Pasta is off the menu as Sue has a very damaging reaction to the Gluten. So we’re always on the look out for interesting alternatives. We’ve tried and enjoyed Rice Tagliatelle which is great, but it really only want immersing in boiling water. It very quickly looses starch and congeals if you’re not careful.

So what is that strange looking grey / green stuff you may be wondering? It’s Sweet Potato starch Tagliatelle. I spotted this in a Chinese supermarket in Manchester when I was working there a couple of weeks ago. The name is perhaps a bit deceptive. Although it is made from the starch of Sweet Potatoes, it’s actually not at all sweet. It has the texture of traditional pasta and is boiled for 6 to 7 minutes without the risk of sticking together. Despite the odd colour it was very tasty.

As a bit of a joke I posted “ Your turn to make proper Bubble & Squeak Sue” on Facebook. Never challenge the Chef! Off she toddled to the freezer to rummage through the boxes of bits and bobs we keep from previous meals and came up with this All Day Breakfast gig.

Sausages
Garlic Button Mushrooms
Bubble & Squeak
Crispy grilled Bacon
Fried Egg
Baked Beans

Not surprisingly for us Chilli had found it’s way into some of the left over veg at some stage – which was actually a great, if unexpected, addition! Price wise this meal probably cost us £1.50 each in fresh ingredients. The nearest equivalent I can find is at Stop The World Cafe at Leigh-On-Sea in Essex - “The Belly Buster Breakfast” at £11.50.
