Clara's Gourmet Pizza

1 premade 12" pizza base
8oz bacon
1 tomato
1/2 green bell pepper
1 small onion
6 slices sundried tomato
tomato paste
barbecue sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cups mixture grated cheeses - mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan

Preheat oven to 220ºC (425ºF).  Dice bacon into small pieces and fry until browned.  Chop tomato, bell pepper, onion and sundried tomatoes into small pieces and place each in separate small bowls.
Spread desired amount of tomato paste over pizza base, and squirt liberally with barbecue sauce (to taste). Sprinkle with garlic and herbs. Sprinkle pizza evenly with vegetables and bacon, and finally top with grated cheese mix.
Place in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Cut into slices and serve.

*This makes a far healthier (and tastier, my husband tells me) pizza than anything you could buy, and it is very simple, taking only about 20 minutes to prepare.*

In experimentimg with how to make low cholesterol pizza , I discovered pizza with no mozzarella and just a light sprinkle of parmesan on top and a good squeeze of lemon juice is my favourite and I really don't miss the mozzarella now.I mix some chilli into the tomato paste which gives it an added zing and sometimes put mushrooms and finely sliced zucchini cooked in lemon juice on top - you have to like the lemon flavour though. I also grill red capsicum skin side up till it is black ,then peel the skin off and chop. A. Bola

Tuna Mornay Bake

Even though this recipe might seem a little complicated at first, after making it a few times, it becomes very simple (and once you master it, it doesn't need strict measuring - I never measure anymore!)... This recipe is a BIG favourite with everyone I know, and is even enjoyed by some people who usually don't like fishy flavours! 200g (7oz) penne or other pasta 30g (1oz) butter 1 large can flaked tuna in brine 2 heaped tablespoons flour 1 - 1 1/2 cups milk 1/2 cup shredded cheese 1/4 cup bread crumbs 3/4 cup shredded processed cheese Cook pasta in water until al dente. Preheat oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Meanwhile,  partially open can of tuna, and drain the brine into a measuring jug.  *Do not discard* When tuna has finished draining (well-drained), add milk to the brine in the measuring jug to make up to 2 cups. Melt butter in medium saucepan.  When it is melted, take the pan off the heat   and add flour and stir.  Add brine-milk to pan and ret...

Roast Pumpkin & Capsicum Pasta Salad with Bacon

* This is a recipe I made up to take with me to a family dinner.  It was a big hit!  It is very creamy - if you like your salads to have more of a tangy flavour, I would suggest using a tangy mayonnaise instead of the one in the recipe, and I would also suggest reducing the sour cream (making up the difference with mayonnaise) or adding more vinegar.  This recipe is very versatile and can be easily changed in multiple ways to suit your tastes * 350g (12oz) uncooked pasta (I chose small shells, but you could use any kind you prefer) 1 large capsicum (bell pepper), cut in strips 600g (21oz) diced butternut pumpkin (you could try another pumpkin if you don't have butternut, but I can't guarantee it will taste as nice!) olive oil 250g (9oz) diced bacon 1 large brown onion, chopped finely Dressing: 2/3 cup creamy whole egg mayonnaise 1/3 cup sour cream 1 tablespoon vinegar 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder Preheat oven to 200ºC (390ºF).  G...
