Peanut butter and pasta?
It might sound a bit odd, we know, but if there’s anyone whose food combinations we trust, it’s Nigella Lawson.
The chef has just revealed a budget-friendly recipe for her ‘dreamy, creamy’ peanut butter pasta as part of a new partnership with Ocado, featuring four new recipes and a ‘Nigella Loves’ edit of her favourite products.
All the recipes Nigella has come up with for the collab are designed to feed a family of four for under £1.25 per person, showing you don’t have to spend a load of cash for a tasty dinner.
You can find out how to make a Nigella-approved stir fry, a black bean and cous cous dish, and a speedy steamed sponge, over on the Ocado website (with more meals to come throughout the year), but to get you started, we’ve got the most controversial dinner of the bunch right here.
