Ok this is a real favourite when I cook for friends,
for 4 servings,
1 pack fresh tortellini/ravioli
500ml pack passata (sieved tomato)
fresh chilli or chilli powder
small red onion
clove of garlic crushed or chopped
seasonal veg
fresh basil
salt & pepper
Sunflower or Olive oil
Heat about 1tbsp oil in a saucepan
Chop the onion fairly fine,
Add to the oil and fry on a low heat until soft
Add the garlic and some small pieces of whatever veg you have, eg sweet corn or peas or broken broccoli florets, chopped spinach!. Around a cupful should be enough unless you want to pad it out for more people!.
Add the chilli, chopped if you like it hot sliced open and seeds removed if not and if using powdered chilli about 1/4 tsp to 1tsp depending on your taste!.
fry for a minute or two and then add the passata, you may not need all the passata, it depends on how much veg you need to cover in tomato sauce!.
Add the herbs season with salt & pepper and cover, simmer for as long as it takes to cook the veg , The veg should all be small pieces and wants to be al dente (firm when bitten) so should take only a few minutes!.
Put around quarter of a pint of olive oil in wok or small pan, heat then drop the tortellini straight in and keep it stirred until they are golden, drain onto kitchen roll and put onto plates with some salad!. Put the tomato sauce in a bowl and serve as a dip alongside fresh bread rolls or garlic bread or split buttered pitta bread!.
This sounds a bit odd to some people ie frying fresh pasta but try it it is delicious and really quite simple and as I say always goes down well when I do it for people!.
For a quick and easy dessert whisk some double cream with a spoonful of icing sugar and grated lemon rind until quite firm!. Fold in an equal amount of fresh natural yogurt, serve spoonfuls in glasses with the rims dipped in lemon juice then caster sugar and sprinkle grated lemon rind or pared lemon rind onto the top, simple, elegant and moorish

This is very different and quite inexpencive too;
Bread Fritters;
Go to the bakery section of the store where you normally buy bread!.
Ask the baker for an "unbaked" loaf of bread!.
He must put exactly the same amount of dough he would have used to bake a bread with in to a plastic bag for you, and it would cost no more than a loaf of bread!.
Take that home and in a pot warm some cooking oil to about half the depth of the pot!. (Smaller pots take less oil than bigger ones do)!.!.!.
The oil temperature should be medium hot!. (About half the heat that the stove plate will go)
Now cut from the unbaked dough a slice about the size of your palm, and with a little water on your fingers (to prevent the dough from sticking to your hand), stretch out the dough in all directions until it is about the size of your whole hand including the fingers!. That brings the cutting of dough to about twice the size it was when you cut it!.!.!.!.
Now with care, drop the stretched out dough in to the hot oil!.
It would rise almost instantly!.
Fry it in the oil until it is golden brown all over, taking care to turn it over occasionally!.
It would be puffy and crisp when done!.
With a large ladle or sieve, scoop out the bread fritter and place on an absorbent kitchen towel to rid it of most of the oil still on it!.
Repeat this process until all the dough is done!.
These bread fritters are extremely filling, and can be cut open and filled with almost anything from grated cheese to minced meat to cold processed meat, syrup or jam!.
Try it, you will probably have some left over for two or three days, which you can take to work if you like!.!.!.!.
Bread fritters can be frozen and warmed up again if you have made too much, but the dough cannot, so rather make the whole lot and freeze what is left over for another day!. If you decide to freeze them, do so without a filling!. Fillings should always be made fresh!.
Finger snack variety;
By making the bread dough cutting about half the size when cutting off the raw dough from the batch, you can make smaller sized bread fritters and fill them with fancy foods like tuna mince or savory beef mince for buffet snack parties
