Hye.

Inspired by Aritha's entry on Asam Laksa, I just thought of sharing a recipe I got from my Darling's aunty. Spaghetti Alfredo kot. Tak kisah la apa2, janji sedap. And aku rasa paling senang la. Yang recipe Aritha cakap easy peasy tu pun aku rasa susah. Haha. Ni super easy peasy. :p

OK. Ingredients as per pics below. Please don't ask me why if any of them look weird to you. I google sajor. *pics credit to google*

spaghetti

First thing first, you'd need to boil some water and toss the spaghetti into the boiling water until it is soft enough. Sieve it and put in some butter to make sure that it doesn't stick to each other and will come out all nice in its individual strips. Put that aside.

brocolli and cauliflower

chicken

prawns

cili padi *aku dh ckp jgn tny..aku xtau nape dia kaler pepel*

onions and garlic

button mushroom

butter *xde la sebuku ni ye*

prego cheese & herbs pasta sauce

leggo's alfredo pasta sauce

milk (fresh, full cream or low fat is fine)

oregano

On to the gravy. Put in the butter. Once it melts, put in the chopped onions, garlic and cili padi. When the cili padi dah masak, masuk the chicken and prawns. Goreng la sampai kau puas hati dan wangi. Jangan sampai hangus sudah. :) Then pour in the prego and leggos sauce together with some milk. When it comes to a simmer, put in your mushroom, cauliflower and broccoli. Let it boil for a while. Bukan sampai kering ok. Lepas tu, sprinkle some oregano and voila. Selamat menikmati hidangan 0 calorie ini! :D

Bye.

Cooking Spree

I am in the habit of turning in early lately so that I am not deprived of my 8-hour sleep. *hi acai* My Darling was not so supportive of it in the beginning. Reason being, he wants to spend more time with me after work. Siap merajuk bile kol 9 je aku ckp aku dh ngantuk. But then I explained that, yes, I am digging the smokey eyes do and all that, but I really do not wanna look like an owl (or panda) on my wedding day. I know it’s not easy to get rid of this dark circles but it will not hurt to try, right? At least I’ll get to sleep enough (read : 8 hours) and get up early to prepare breakfast for him. :)

So anyway, I wanna talk about my cooking (read : goreng, rebus, letak dlm microwave) spree for the past few days. Hehe. Aku ni bukan nye rajin masak. That’s why my blog is seldom filled with food images. *hi aritha* It will probably change once I tie the knot, but the possibility of it remaining the same is still quite high. :p Nonetheless, here goes.

Last Saturday, we (my Darling and I) were invited to a colleague’s farewell potluck barbecue party. At first I decided to just bring over some fried nuggets or tidbits (matila pemalas nk mampus). But then, my Darling’s friend (the host) ‘requested’ for spaghetti. He must have thought I’m a good (or an OK) cook la kot. I mean apart from the fact that I’m getting married in 13 days (yikes!) and a girl. Besides, everyone knows how to make spaghetti kn? Ye la tu. Hmm. Maka adalah, aku pun wat la spaghetti. Alhamdulillah. They said it was yummy. They must be really hungry. Hehe.

On Sunday, my Darling was saying that he didn’t wanna eat out anymore. Bosan dah. Nak sambal sardine katanya. So I decided to cook sambal sardine (with abosulutely no idea how) utilizing 1 can of mackerel (eceh) which belongs to my Darling. Since I didn’t know how to go about cooking this dish, I asked my Darling for instructions. After calling his mom or sis (I can’t remember), he walked me through the simple steps and voila, it’s done. Senang je sebenarnye. Hehe. Although I’m not a fan of ikan sardine tp tgk my Darling makan, sampe aku pun teringin. Oh btw, glad he liked it. :D

As I have been making it a point to sleep early (therefore waking up early too), I’ve hade time in the morning to prepare simple breakfast for my Darling. On Wednesday I fried some chicken tempura for him and today, I made French toast. It was nothing extraordinary. Roti telur je pun kn. That explains why I smell like fried eggs this morning. No kidding. I really do. But to see my Darling gobble up the toast like it was the best breakfast ever (over kn aku?), makes me forget about the fact that I’ll be smelling like fried eggs for the rest of the day today. :)
