While pasta is cooking fry up some rashers then dice them. A few minutes before the pasta is done, throw in the frozen peas and sweetcorn. Drain pasta and dish out into bowls. Add diced rashers and sprinkle mozarella cheese over each bowl and voila. Plates always licked clean.

I like to use soba - buckwheat pasta - for this dish. Soba has a nutty flavor and contributes a measure of all-important whole grain to the dish.

Half-fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Cook the pasta until firm, not too soft (the packet should have cooking times). While that's cooking, cut the salmon into cubes. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, and then add the salmon.

This dish is both classic and simple, which makes it a great choice when inviting a few friends over for a meal. Better yet, it takes only minutes to prepare and is easy on your budget. Bring a large pot of water to a boil making sure the handle of the pot isn't over the edge of the cooker or other rings.
