CHEESE BALL WITH TUNA

Steps:

• Using a fork flake tuna into small little bits into a bowl.
• Add the cream cheese to the bowl and mash with the fork until everything is well combined.
• Add the dijon a small sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste and continue mashing.
• Add the hot sauce to taste! I add up to a full tablespoon, sometimes more, but this is entirely up to your preference. Add a small amount at a time and taste as you mash until you achieve a flavour you like!.
• Scoop the mixture onto the center of a piece of plastic wrap. Wrap tightly and shape into a ball as you roll. Toss it into th fridge until chilled, or into the freezer for 30 mins or so it you are really strapped for time.
• Serve on a platter with crackers!
• **OPTIONS**.
• You can use a different canned fish too! Try Crab or Salmon!
• Try rolling the ball in finely chopped nuts or grated cheese!
• You can omit the hot sauce and dijon and try other seasonings of your choice! (fresh herbs? garlic? hot peppers?).

PIRATE PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve about 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta. Place the pasta and 1/2 cup cheese in a large bowl and toss until coated.
• In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms begin to brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the olives, tomato paste, capers, red pepper flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the tuna. Using a wooden spoon, break up the tuna into 1-inch pieces. Add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the garlic and discard.
• Pour the tuna mixture over the pasta. Add the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and the basil, and toss until coated, using the reserved cooking liquid to loosen the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

SHRIMP IN PERNOD CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a skillet, add the peppercorns and sauté for about 1 minute.
• Add the shrimp and cook 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until they are just pink.
• Pour over the Pernod and flame. Add chives and cream and heat just to simmer. Serve immediately with lots of crusty bread to mop up the sauce!
