Food : Western Lunch Meal

Today I made pasta and chicken soup for brunch. The meal is so easy to make if you're suddenly craving for italian pasta and soup. Follow the rough guide of the recipes for both menu. I left out the propotion for each ingredients so you have flexibility on how much you want to use the ingredients. But believe me it is easy to cook these yourself!

Chicken herbs Soup/ Broth



1) Put chicken, salt, garlic, ginger, black pepper and mixed herbs into a pot.
2) Add water above chicken level and and bring to a boil until the chicken is tender. Unlike me, if you are health concious, remove the fat formed on the pot surface.
3) Add vege of your choice. I always put sweet peas, potatoes and carrots. For for this menu I just used sweet peas.
4) Sprinkle more mixed herbs or fresh herbs before turning off the heat.


Penne in Tomato Sauce with mushroom Sausage



1) Cook penne (or any other type of pasta) and drain.
2) Chop garlic (I use smoke garlic for better aroma) tomatoes and onion and saute in oil (great if you have olive oil in stock).
3) Add sliced sausages. I used Ayamas Mushroom Chicken Frankfurter.
4) Add tomato puree (I prefer Ayam brand for the colour), mixed herbs and a pinch of salt.
5) Add sweet peas or other vege of your choice.
6) If the sauce is too thick, add water. I just used the soup I prepared earlier.
7) Finally pour in the drained penne. Well mix the sauce and pasta. Serve immediately.
