always leave your oven setting at 350 degrees. Saves pre heating time..

quick pasta sauce

grated cheese of your choice

creme freche

boil pasta, drain once cooked add enough creme freche to make a sauce, add grated cheese and stir it in, the hot pasta will melt the cheeze, you could if you wanted place it back on the hob for a few seconds.

Of course you dont have to just have plain cheezy pasta, you could add veg ect.

For those who like to use good quality stock in their sauces / soups, once made, freeze it in batches. Has very little effect on the flavour

Wow --- what a waste of energy, besides, my oven will preheat to 450 degrees in less than 5 minutes.
