How about heat the spaghetti hoops and grate cheese over.
Or challenge the food bank to give the client some dignity and stop giving him bleeping hoops if he doesn’t like them.

It wouldn't involve binning some of the ACTUAL CALORIES you twonk. And wasn't this recipe in good food for bad days?!
Don't you mean TD has all her trifles in a row
Sorry, I'll get my ~£100 pigskin ~ hat
Yes put the cheese on top of the unrinsed hoops with plenty of black pepper.

In the interests of veracity, I’ve just downloaded TCC from my local library
‘recipe’ and intro attached.
Poor person stuck with leftover hoops doesn’t get a mention

Remember when she used to do the threads like ‘I have a lot of leftover cheese. What should I do with it?’ I dunno, Jack. Maybe you could try bleeping eating it? Why is everything so complicated?
Of course every single suggestion was met with completed it mate.

If the cook has a stove, it'd be texturally better to rinse, drain and dry the hoops, saving the sauce. Over a high heat, fry the hoops into a crispy pasta cake. Sprinkle with cheese. Serve some of the sauce on the side. Add lots of pepper.
Some poor people have a microwave, some don't. If there's only a microwave, I'd slowly melt the cheese, then heat hoops and sauce and stir the cheese in. Bit like cheesy Beans

FFS, if you don't have the emotional energy to boil a pan of pasta then surely you'd just do spaghetti on toast? You don't start rinsing whatever tins and start faffing about with random extras!
Wow. So there you go. That recipe wasn’t created for a foodbank user, but for Jack herself, having a “miserable evening”.
It’s still capable of crossing the frigging road! God she makes me feel physically ill
Right, ninnies. I've had enough of this prattling about the bleeping VBI. I have an actual job in data & research, what my boss calls "a very specialist set of skills" and a certain amount of concentration and free time I can give to spite projects and I'm going to create the thing.
The point of it is to prove that value products go up in price quicker than branded ones, right? Now, I don't have 10 years of (faded, unreadable, Asda-only) receipts so it's going to have to start from today which means there's going to be nothing worth looking at for at least a couple of months. I've started with pasta, baked beans and milk and so far have 80 records so although comparing 40-odd categories is best, I actually am just one person doing this around my real job and that would somewhere around 1000 records to update every month.
So my question is: if you were compiling the VBI, what 10 products would you include?

"You've got 10 minutes" - I'm sorry, but who tf does she think she *is*? Why 10 minutes? Bonkers.
Anyone else wondering WTF and just wants to eat cold spaghetti hoops with a fork out of a tin?
Spaghetti hoops.
obviously.
I would have thought it would take more energy to carefully rinse the hoops than to fire the pasta on the boil!
Or horse spunk you got in for the lasagne
'Sloppy stand-in'.
What a horrible loaded term, in any context.

I've got a feeling the recipe is in both books. I don't have of her books so can't check. But I'm fairly sure in good food for bad days it's called Heathen's cacio e pepe?
