Tonight I can eat carbs!! (This was last Wednesday evening hee..hee..hee..). So. Remember the extra pasta I set aside? The day before, I took it out from the freezer to the fridge to thaw overnight.
On cheat night it was fully defrosted.
I topped it with pizza cheese but the cheese was already near expiry and was on the dry side.

| It looked uncannily like shredded cabbage doesn't it? |
I put it in the oven and preheated it to 180C. Yup, I put it in before I preheated the oven to speed things up. When the oven beeped, I set it to 15 minutes.

| The cheese instead of melty, it was clumpy. But still nice. |
My pasta was on the dry side because my sauce wasn't saucy enough. To take note of that when I next make pasta. More sauce, please.
Still heavenly though. It's a small portion. That's how I should be eating.
I'm going to make some more to freeze.
Everyone needs a cheat day....every now and then! Muahahahaha!! :D
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I'll drink to that! hah..hah...
DeleteFrozen pasta nothing much to comment about, but... your oven more canggih than mine. Mine won't beep to tell me it is preheated and ready. Usually I just chug my container or foil pack in and turn on the oven, and I add 5 minutes on top of the usual expected time to factor in the preheating. :/
ReplyDeleteAs long as it can achieve its purpose, OK liao lah.
DeleteI would do things like that with any leftovers, cheat...take shortcuts and the end result can be pretty amazing, very nice. It's a sin to waste.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to agree with that!
Deleteomom it looks very delicious:D follow:)
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI cheat too, i go supermarket, sure buy tibit, haha...
ReplyDeletehee..hee..I used to be like that but now stop already :)
Deletehad something similar last week
ReplyDeletehhmmmm...I am sure you enjoyed it :)
DeleteI would cheat myself almost daily. My returns would be plenty of exercise and gallons of plain water.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least you make up for it :D
DeleteOh no.. I am guilty too.. eat and eat and no going for any exercise! I can feel my tummy landing on the bed when I sleep sideway each night! :)
ReplyDeletehah..hah...so funny! My tummy also make landings and bumps when I toss and turn :D
DeleteI love eating your pasta bake but only for lunch. Everyday is a cheat day for me because I eat carbs everyday but in low amount for each meal.
ReplyDeleteYou have good control and discipline. Me, I tend to overeat :(
Deleteextra-saucy for me too! :D i do admire your discipline - for me, it's a slippery slope when i indulged. so one portion of pasta would lead to another for me, and before i know it, i've gobbled up three plates. it happened today at mcdonald's when i was having soft-serves ;)
ReplyDeleteHah! Carried away, that's what usually happens to me too. But I have been on best behavior lately. Let's see how long that will last :)
DeleteThis is good! Extra cheesy for me.
ReplyDeleteI see you love cheese!
DeleteI love cheesy pasta and I am very guilty too! My pants are getting very tight now. Lol!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I have been behaving myself and I think my pants felt slightly looser. Hope that's not my imagination :D
