Spiral Pasta Day

Hi folks.. Apology from my end, as usual I hv been always MIA (missing in action) for a long time then I'm back again. That goes on & on. Well been pretty busy ever since hv given birth to my 4 months old princess with addition currently I'm pursuing my studies. Yeah I know it's tough but hey I need to take advantage of my current situation as a SAHM while I can.


Well here I'm, decided to blog my food from my iPhone instead of logging on the net and spend time just to edit & blog about my foodie.. This week is a long a weekend for everyone due to the public holiday of Good Friday yesterday. Weather been pretty crazy past few weeks, it's either sunny or raining.. Due to the weather & my schedule, I've decided to whip up a simple dish yesterday for both meals. Let's go into the details: -


Spicy Fried Spiral for both lunch & dinner


Ingredients: -
Spiral pasta
Minced meat
Mini prawn meat - got it frm Giant Tampines, much prefer normal medium range prawn
Cabbage - cut as per your preference
Chicken cubes


Chilli paste )
Onion ) blend finely
Olive oil / cooking oil


- Fry the the blended paste till its fragrant & oil floating on the surface
- Throw in the minced meat n prawn, cook them thru.
- Put in the chicken cubes n cabbage, mix well & let it cook thru for another 5 mins.
- finally toss in the pasta & mix well


Best serve with spring onion & fried shallots. Greeny n fragrant.. Yumm..


Notes:
- can replace the cabbage with chye sim aka sawi
- can add in fish cakes instead of prawn
- can replace the chicken cubes with salt or fish sauce
- choice of pasta would be better to use macaroni, penne or spiral. Again it's up to your preference :)


Happy trying

PS: sorry folks my measurement are more to estimation, so it's easier for individual to adjust according to your taste. As such I hv added alternative under my notes. : )

Quicky Seafood Marinara

Hi dearies,

Had a long lazy day today.. I hv plan the menu for today however due to some laziness in me, I have decided to settle down with my very own quicky seafood marinara. @ the same time, Im expecting some guests over the evening. So this meal is simply great to enjoy apart of those malay traditional food - longtong , rendang etc.

Anyway here goes my .....

Quicky Seafood Marinara



Ingredients:
Any choice of pasta (I used spaghetti)
1 bottle of any ready-made spaghetti sauce (I used Prego Traditional Sauce)
Mince garlic
Fresh mushroom or button mushroom in tin
Prawns
Squid
Lala/Clams
Tobasco/Cayenne Pepper
Salt to taste

Methods:

- Heat a wok/pan with little oil, sweat the minced garlic for a few sec.
- Throw in the squid, prawn & lala/clams in it, have a quick toss before adding the whole bottle of sauce in it.
- Simmer for abt 5-10mins.
- Season with tobasco/cayenne pepper & salt to taste.
- Dish out while its hot with a plate of choice of spaghetti & sprinkle ur favs cheese.

Thts so simple & easy to make especially for those working mom's or when you have unexpected guess. Another option is, you can replace all the seafood with fish slices or tuna chunks. Toss in the pasta & dish out to the oven bake dish. Sprinkle with mozza cheese or any of ur fav cheese then broil it for abt 5-10mins.

Happy trying !!! : )

With love,
