Easy Sunday Pasta -- Creamy Fettuccine

This recipe is my last weapon when I don't have any idea what to cook on the weekend.

All the ingredients are always available in my kitchen.

All you need are any kind of pasta (macaroni, spaghetti, fettuccine, or else), milk, garlic, smoked beef and parmesan/cheddar cheese.

You only need half an hour and a strong motivation to get up from your cozy bed. Haha

Enjoy Cooking,

Garlic Spicy Sauce (Sambal Korek)

I love spicy food and I'm addicted to chilli sauce. I can't eat without chilli sauce or what we called sambal here in Indonesia. However I never make chilli sauce on my own. 

One of my favourite chilli sauce is one that is served at  duck dish resto on my way home from office. It's called sambal korek. It's originated from Surabaya, the big city located at eastern part of Java Island.  I love it.

The most important thing is the recipe is so easy as counting one two three. Even my 9 years old son loves it.

Home Made Macaroni and Cheese

What's so special about  Mac and Cheese?

I don't know, but everybody loves it.

Again.. 

I was looking for the easiest recipe on the pinterest and this one was the most simple recipe.

I only use the left over in my fridge 

So I only had two kinds of cheese and cream

I believe the actual  recipe would taste a lot much better

however I though with this minimum ingredients it's already delicious for me

Maybe the béchamel sauce that made this recipe different

Next time I would comply with the original recipe

Enjoy cooking.

Lazy (Sunday) Lasagna

My kids are really love lasagna and they keep asking me to cook lasagna every weekend. Tell you the truth I'm a lazy mom and making lasagna means cook 3 dishes. The meat sauce, the béchamel sauce and the lasagna itself. So i'm looking for the easiest lasagna recipe. I found this recipe and I wish this could make my life easier.

Notes:

1. I forgot to buy the cottage cheese

2. I replaced the italian sausage with ground beef

3. I was using too many lasagna sheets so the layers feel too thick for me

4. I cooked the meat sauce too dry

5. I'm too lazy to convert the measurement of the ingredients to grams and ml

And the conclusion is I'll stick to my old béchamel sauce lasagna recipe. But this recipe is very easy to follow and save your time very big.

Enjoy Cooking

Hello, Pesto!

i love pesto. Yes, I am. 

I love the taste, I love the colour and I love to say it loudly. PESTO!!

On one of my previous post, i made spinach spaghetti in my desperate of trying to find basil leaves.

Truly it can be replaced by spinach any other similar leaves but i don't want to that.

So when i was accidentally stop by one of supermarket on my way home from office, I saw this lovely greens on the store refrigerator. 

Yes, it's basil leaves. 

So I need pine nuts to make pesto, and still I can't find it anywhere.

Since I'm desperately want to cook pesto. I decided to use any nuts that I found at home.

I still have this beans from Bali. It's called kacang Koro. I don't know what I can call this kind of beans in English. And I found this most simple home made pesto in Pinterest. From this website I also know what substitutes ingredients of basil leaves and pine nuts and how to store pesto for later use and what's good to accompany by pesto sauce.

Then here we go. Finally my first pesto sauce.

Enjoy cooking.
