This is Calvin, from Calvin and Hobbes, the comic from Bill Watterson. I'm sure you all know him! For those of you who don't please go to the first book store you find and buy one of its Comics collection... He is one of the best ever! He will make you laugh even if you had the worst of the days!. Calvin's character is so sweet and yet so naughty, childish but philosofical, imaginative and rational... One of his big fights is food. In his imagination food can be alive and atack him!!!Well, here you have a dish your kids will love. It has noodles (pasta is always a big help with kids) and it has pork meat (tender and tasty) and veggies (maybe not a favourite among children but you can always switch the recipe ones for others they like better).
Special dressing: Sam Cook (turn player on)
This is one of the basics in Catalan cuisine - Fideus a la cassola - Noodles Casserole. The real recipe should be done in an earthenware dish but some months ago I changed my old kitchen for a new one and it's not a gas one anymore, so I can not use my earthenware casseroles. Instead, I used an ironed one and the result wasn't that bad... there were no leftovers!

•Ingredients for 4 servings: 400 grs of noodles (the bigger size, the better), 300 grs of pork rib cut in pieces, 5 ripe tomatoes, 2 artichockes,1 onion, 150 peas, 1 ½ liters of water, olive oil and salt.
•For the dressing: 2 garlic cloves, 20 grs of hazelnuts, 3 saffron threads, some parsley and salt.
•Fry the meat until golden, then chop the onion and cook at medium heat until transparent together with the pork ribs. Add the tomatoe sauce.
•Be patient and let the sofrito do it’s way. Keep on stirring until the tomatoe disappears and it gets oily. Then add the artichokes. Stir for 5 minutes at medium/low heat.
•Add the water (if you have meat stock it will be tastier) and the peas.
•Once it boils again add the noodles. Let cook at medium/high heat.
•Meanwhile prepare the dressing and when noodles are nearly done (after 15 minutes cooking or see instructions in your package) add it to the casserole. Add salt to your taste.
•Cook for 3 more minutes and then turn heat off and cover for 5 minutes.
Be a kid for a while and enjoy this dish too!!!!! ;-)
