5 easy and quick recipes when on the road
A quick classic with onions and bacon

For 2-3 portions you need:
- 1 pack diced bacon (approx. 200 g)
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 1/2 cup of cream
- 1 to 2 (red) onions
- nutmeg, salt, pepper, chives
- 1 pack tarte flambée dough
How to make it:

A taste of Italy, anytime, anywhere
Lemon pasta brings a fresh taste of Italy to your plate. This dish is light, creamy and full of flavour – simple yet incredibly satisfying. It’s the perfect quick meal for holiday evenings or whenever you crave a little Italian sunshine.
For 4 portions you need:
70 g parmesan
3 cloves of garlic
40 g butter
3 tbsp olive oil
500 g spaghetti
3 stalks basil
3 lemons
How to make it:
Grate the parmesan finely and zest the lemons after giving them a good wash. Squeeze the juice from two lemons and set it aside. Tear the basil leaves and slice them into thin strips.
Cook the spaghetti al dente in salted water. While the pasta is boiling, heat some olive oil and butter in a pan. Toss in the peeled garlic cloves for a quick sizzle, just enough to release their flavour.
Drain the spaghetti, but keep around 150ml of the pasta water. Add the spaghetti to the pan with the lemon zest, juice, and a splash of pasta water. Stir everything over medium heat.
Add two-thirds of the parmesan and mix well until the pasta is coated in a silky sauce. If it looks too dry, add a bit more pasta water until it’s just right.
Serve immediately, sprinkled with the remaining parmesan and basil for a fresh finish.
