This Crab Pasta Salad Recipe was inspired by the Onion Raita I made earlier. Like what I’ve mentioned in my previous post, the raita is a very flexible side dish which you can eat with biryani or use it as a salad dressing like what I’ve done here. Normally when we buy Greek yogurt from […]
The sauce for this Spicy Almond Chicken Pasta is basically almond satay sauce i.e. satay sauce made with almonds instead of peanuts. Actually I wanted to make real satay sauce but realised I ran out of peanuts so I used almonds which are always available in my pantry for breakfast oats or cereals. Turned out […]
A fiery kick from the chilli flakes combined with the citrusy flavour of the lemon and the sharpness of the garlic makes this dish really refreshing and appetizing. The husband devoured his entire plate in no time and even asked for a second helping. 🙂 I did not specify an amount of chilli flakes to […]
I really love ‘evaporated milk pastas’ because they are so quick and easy to make just like fried rice. I would always stock up my pantry with cans of reduced fat evaporated milk and on days when I’m eating alone, I would just whip up a simple pasta dish using the milk to give it […]
This is a quick-fix pasta meal that is perfect for a weekday dinner. It mainly uses ingredients and seasonings that you probably already have in your fridge and/or pantry. I served the braised chicken with macaroni but you can use any pasta of your choice or with crusty bread if you like. Braised Chicken and […]
While I love a good bratwurst in my English breakfast platter, I equally enjoy it in a pasta dish like this. You’d notice that I didn’t use any additional salt or seasoning in my recipe. The key is in Step 2 when pan-frying the sausage cos’ this is when oil and fat can be rendered […]
It’s Mother’s Day today and I just want to wish all mummies in the world a very happy day! I can never have enough of creamy pasta. It’s a dish that I can make in bulk, chill in fridge and have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and sometimes, supper. Haha. You may think, ‘OMG, this […]
I never would have thought of stir frying spaghetti in an Asian style like how we’d do Chinese fried noodles till my mother-in-law whipped up a quick and tasty lunch of stir fried fusilli with char siu when I first came by her house in England years ago. It works in a similar way like […]
This was the super yummy Alfredo Fettuccine I had during my cruise as mentioned in my Part 1 post:Â Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Recipe (Part 1 of 2). It looked so humble and simple but the taste was just beyond my expectations. It had a good balance of sharpness from the parmesan cheese, deep aroma from the […]
The first time I made Spaghetti Bolognese which was years ago, I followed the husband’s recipe after he made it once for me to try which was not bad. It was a really basic recipe with straightforward ingredients like minced beef, fresh tomatoes, yellow onions, button mushrooms and tomato paste. And because he liked his […]
Looking at this mouthwatering picture simply makes me dribble. Another of my ultimate favourite comfort food, perfect to chase away the blues. Sometimes, we just need that one guilty pleasure to cheer ourselves up. This is a playground for cheese lovers, what’s not to love? Baked Chicken Pasta Recipe Ingredients (serves 3-4) 250g penne, cooked […]
I never really fancy bottled pasta sauces that much because they are often flat in texture (I like my sauce with bits and chunks) and contain way too much sodium. For my Seafood Marinara Spaghetti Recipe, I use diced tomatoes with no salt to create the sauce base and then just season it with enough salt […]
This stir fried pasta dish is similar to my Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken Spaghetti Recipe except that I have used macaroni as my choice of pasta. If you like oglio olio (spaghetti with garlic & oil) and don’t mind a little tang and heat, you are likely to enjoy this macaroni recipe as it has a great […]
I love no-cook pasta sauces because they are just so easy to make. All I need is just my handy food processor to blend everything together. Avocado is a perfect ingredient to make such a pasta sauce because of its slightly eggy flavour, rich and creamy texture that really gives dimensions to any pasta type. […]
With just one block of pecorino romano that I bought from Foodie Market Place, I probably converted my kitchen to an Italian one for a week, lol. Antipasti, pizzas & pastas – whatever I could whip up so I could make use of this very fine cheese. The husband was in heaven as all these […]
Almost similar to the creamy alfredo sauce, this Garlic Herb Cheese Penne Recipe is one of our favourite pastas. Easy to make and perfect for cheese lovers like us. If you love creamy white sauces for pastas, then this is one recipe you should not miss out on. Garlic-Herb Cheese Penne Recipe Ingredients (serves 2) 250g penne, […]
