Pasta uninteresting? Only if the imagination is also.

How about a stir fry, with egg noodles, choose your veggies well - make it
/colourful/ as well as flavourful (like if using sweet peppers, don't use
all one colour etc.), use a VERY hot wok (smoking oil!) and don't over-do
the veggies, for meat I'd go with good, large prawns, fresh if at all
possible. Pick your sauce - plain soy, oyster sauce, black bean, invent a
mixture - whatever boats your float. Quite quick and simple to make, vibrant
to look at, and delicious (if you don't cook the veggies to limpness and/or
the prawn/shrimp to rubber).



I can't be bothered thinking any more!
