~ spaghetti aglio olio with mushrooms ~

a very simple pasta.. actually i have button mushrooms lebih from my spaghetti sauce i cooked last few days.. pastu fikir2 nk buat apa dgn extra mushrooms ni.. so i figured y not i juz stir fry em and have it with spaghetti..

i used angle hair spaghetti coz they cook very fast n they're not too rich gak.. tats y spaghetti nmpk kurus ya.. hihihi.. recipe ni tuk sorang je tau coz i was experimenting jer.. ajoy wanted to eat something else.. ok here's d recipe:

1 portion of spaghetti - boil first

2 cloves of garlic - chopped

1 long cili padi - chopped

2 button mushrooms (canned) - sliced

1 white button mushrooms (fresh) - sliced

chicken cube/stock (ckit jer)

black pepper
salt (if necessary)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

in a heated pan, stir fry the garlic and cili padi.. when it turns slightly brown, put in the chicken cube (i use a small portion jer, secukup rasa) and stir fry lg. pastu put in the mushrooms and dash some black peppers in.. when the garlic da turn almost brown, put in the spaghetti, gaul and done! hihi..

original recipe is to use chili flakes or dried chilies.. tp i dont hv those, so i used chili padi jer, sedap jerrrr... hehe.. and we can always add in prawns, mussels, capsicum and anything we want.. and if we have olive oil, better to substitute olive oil with cooking oil.. happy trying! :)

p/s: i checked recipes from the internet, most of them will sprinkle some parsley flakes & dash some oregano too.. i wanted to do td tp terlupa.. so, put tat in mind when u're preparing yr olio k.. :)

::healthy tuna pasta::

this was actually a recipe i got from the internet and of course, tweaked to our tastebuds.. sedap.. it was a refreshing change of pasta dishes.. kalau tak asyik beef je kan.. hehehe..in the original recipe, they use fresh parsley and fresh tomatoes.. but i had to substitute with something quick bcoz of time constraint.. ok here goes..

{bahan2}

pasta of your choice - i used spirals

 tuna - 1 can, drained

roasted garlic - 2 teaspoons (use normal garlic if u dont hv these)

dried parsley

tomato paste/puree - 1 small can

diced tomatoes - 1/2 can

black pepper

cayenne pepper (or chilli powder)

extra virgin olive oil

salt & sugar

{cara2}

1) prepare pasta first. as usual, put a pot of water to a boil. while waiting for water to boil, prepare other ingredients..

2) in a large bowl, mix the drained tuna with 1 teaspoon of roasted garlic and parsley.. put aside..

3) in another pan, heat the oil, and fry another 1 teaspoon of garlic and parsley.. and then add in the tomato paste, tomato cubes, dash of black pepper, salt and sugar.. add some water if u need too. mix well and cover until the sauce simmer.

4) once your pasta is el dente, drain them and pour the pasta into the large bowl with the tuna and mix well..
