Pasta and meatballs
A twist on the normal spaghetti bolognese! Although this takes a little longer than just browning mince, the dish is automatically transformed into something more special and exciting, so it is definitely worth it. I made half the meatballs with lamb mince and half the meatballs with beef mince (just what we had in the freezer) which made it even more interesting because there were two different flavours of meat.

Roast leg of lamb with beans
Recipe by:
Norma MacMillan
Lamb and flageolet beans are often served together in French country cooking because they complement each other so well. In this recipe the flageolets are mixed with potatoes and green beans, and the dish is deliciously flavoured with lemon, garlic and rosemary. Serve in true French style, with a crusty baguette. The roasting time is based on the weight of the joint; 20 minutes per 450g (1 lb) for rare, 25 minutes per 450g for medium well or 30 minutes per 450g for well done.
Steak and kidney pies

A crisp filo pastry topping makes an attractive change from the more traditional lid of puff or shortcrust on these individual pies – and it's lighter and less fatty too. Serve with generous helpings of vegetables such as freshly cooked carrots and sugarsnap peas, plus more potatoes to boost the starchy carbohydrates.
