Now here’s a good one! I remember having these at a friend’s house and was given the recipe quite some time ago. These recipes are ones written on scraps of paper in my recipe box. Some of them I used to remember. Some of them I was rather drunk and don’t remember, or, rather drunk and the writing is unreadable!
Anyway, here’s a great noodle recipe as I remember but I’ve never actually made it, has stuff in it to fill you up, very tasty!
I’ll be trying to make this next week, so I’ll post some pictures when I do!
