Oglio olio

-my own oglio olio- still hot from the pan...-

A friend of my have once told me to write some simple edible pasta recipes… so Haidan, here goes…

Oglio olio

Ingredients:

1- extra virgin olive oil
(Plain olive oil has a different taste and texture from extra virgin… not advisable to change type of oil)

2- Chopped garlic, 2-3 cloves. Depend on the amount of pasta

3- Mushroom. It is advisable to use strong flavored mushroom such as shitake

4- Prawns

5- Dried red pepper flakes

6- Freshly cut parsley. My mother only used the Italian parsley so far.

7- Thin pasta such as spaghetti or angel’s hair. Thick pasta will drown the taste of the sauce.

8- Salt.

Way 2 cook it.

a- Cook the pasta until al dente.

b- Heat 1 in frying pan and stir fry 2 until it started to turn golden.

c- Put in 4 and cook until it turns red.

d- Throw in 3 until it soften.

e- Put in 8 and 5 depending on your preference.

f- Toss in warm freshly cooked pasta

g- Put in 6 and give it a turn before serving.

must be eaten hot- not tasty when cold. can be reheated.

Hooray for circle cookie cutter!

It has been long since I make a new design for the cupcake that I decorated. These few times, I started to try the circle cookie cutter to reduce my need for detailing. Here are what I’ve achieve.

How to make your own Bunny Rabbit

rabbit from gloves..

What you need?

1) A pair of clean gloves (preferable: ordinary gardening glove)
2) A good pair of scissors
3) Two dark colored buttons
4) Stuffing
5) Thread

Directions:

1) Turn the glove in-side-out

2) Sew the fingers (as shown)

3) Cut the fingers away. Put the fingers aside for future use

4) Turn it the right-way-up again (in-side-out). Do that for both of the gloves.

5) This is a preview on how you’ll arrange this:

6) Put in the stuffing into both gloves and sew them together. Remember to pins the head before sewing them as they have a tendency of slipping.

7) Attach the stuffed fingers to make the hands. You can either use the thumb or the index finger.

8) Sew the eyes. You can use special eye buttons or any dark colored buttons.

9) Sew the nose using pink thread or you can use pink oval buttons.

10) You can let it stay like this, or you can tie a ribbon or give it clothing to hide its neck attachment.

There you go, a bunny rabbit. Happy hopping. (“,)v

Bolognaise sauce with pasta

I’m sure you all have tasted a kind of bolognaise sauce in your life, whether it be the original-pure one or the edited one. I’m putting here the one that have been passed down to me by my mother.
Ingredient:
1) Tomato puree
2) Onion; diced
3) Garlic; chopped (on your preference)
4) Mushroom; sliced (preferred: button mushroom)
5) Mince meat
6) Celery; diced (on your preference)
7) Dried oregano seasoning
8) Dried thyme seasoning
9) Salt
10) A little olive oil for the sauté
11) Cheese; mozzarella, parmesan, or any kind you like

Directions:
1) Sauté onion and garlic with olive oil until it become transparent and gives away a nice aroma
2) Put in the tomato puree and cooked it until the bright red color of the puree turns to dark red. Adds some water if the sauce is threatening you to burn. Don’t throw away the tomato puree can just yet; add some warm water into the can and clean away the tomato that sticks to the can’s wall. Ensure you don’t waste anything out.
3) Put in the meat and cook until it becomes crumbly.
4) Put in the celery and cook for a while before adding the mushroom.
5) Add the tomato-water from the can. Stir until boiling
6) Add the oregano and the thyme to gives the aroma to the sauce.
7) Add salt according to your preference.
8) The cheese are use to thicken the sauce. You may omit it if you want.

The sauce can be taken with multiple types of pasta. One as most of you knows: spaghetti.
It is nice to be eaten hot at about 70 oC or warm… there are some who like to eat it cold… but that population of people is very small.

Bye for now. Good luck in trying
