Covid-19 MCO : Day #90 (Mummy's Spaghetti Sauce)

There is only one spaghetti sauce that I like, my Mum's. When I was growing up, one of my Mum's special treats is  her fabulous spaghetti. 

Fried Macaroni

It's very useful to have some pasta lying around in the pantry because when you run out ideas, you can fry up a batch for lunch or dinner.

Pasta and Vegetable Salad

I love sneaking carbs into my salads. Somehow, carbs just taste so good. So comforting. So nurturing. 

Fried Spiral Pasta

It was the evening of Christmas eve. I was at home and my partner was coming home for dinner. What to cook, eh? The easiest thing would be to toss a salad but he is not a salad man.

Penne Goreng Pedas

I have lots of pasta in my pantry and I have been cooking them local style. They are quite versatile and as I understand it, the noodles used in Laksa Johor is spaghetti.

Pasta and Vegetable Salad

Last weekend I made a Pasta Salad for my mum and my brother. Dad couldn't eat this because he was recovering from an upset tummy. So I made him a soup, something like this one but stripped down to only meatballs and  finely cubed carrots and potatoes.

Grilled Sausage Pasta with Chimichurri

This happened during my chimichurri-craze-phase. I had some chimichurri leftover in a bottle in the fridge and it had been there for a week. Before it got funky I thought it might be nice to toss some pasta with my favorite green sauce.

Macaroni Meat Drop Soup

I can't call this "meatball soup" because I did not form the minced meat into balls, but rather I dropped them into the boiling broth in odd shapes (just like how they do in pork noodle soup).

Chili Tuna Pasta

This dish is specifically for those days when I am not in the mood to cook. Or don't have the time. Or just plain lazy. Hah! Now you ask me, how do you conjure a chili tuna when you don't want to cook?

Pasta Salad

Yes, folks. I am eating carbs more often now that I've somewhat achieved my target weight. The important thing that I must take note is not to overeat.

Not Quite Baked Ziti

I used to love the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond. On the show, Raymond lives next door to his parents. To make him visit, his mother would lure him with her cooking, much to his wife Debra's annoyance.

Spaghetti Aglio Olio with Luncheon Meat

Can, ah? Use luncheon meat to make spaghetti aglio olio? Of course, can. Just google and you will see lots of people doing this way ahead of me.

Fried Macaroni

After making Macaroni Soup, I decided to do something else with my stock of macaroni. There are many recipes for fried spaghetti and I thought why not fried macaroni. True enough, there are lots of recipes for macaroni goreng (fried macaroni) with many versions.

Beef Ragu with Spaghetti

I love pasta. Spaghetti, fettuccini, macaroni, whatever. My first ever spaghetti experience was my mum's spaghetti with meat sauce which I attempted here.

Cajun Chicken Pasta

I cooked this pasta for the first time about 3 years ago and cooked it again for a family gathering not long after. Since then, I have not cooked it again. 

Pasta. Italian? Thai!

It was a Saturday morning. I did not go to work. I needed to spend some time at home and focus on my housekeeping and cooking.

It's Cheat Day!

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.

I Love Leftovers

I opened the fridge one morning (three weeks ago) and yikes! I still have some leftover Chimichurri. What should I do with that?

Cook. Eat. Wash Up.

The last time I made Spaghetti Aglo Oilio with Bacon and Mushrooms, chili flakes was sorely missing.  My pasta was so lacking in kick. But guess what?

No Cookies No Cakes, Let's Bake Pasta Instead

Apologies for the lack of baking posts lately. I have been putting in extra hours on Saturdays at the office. By the time I come home, I'm brain dead and the only thing I can process is my favorite TV show.
