Garlic Bread and Spaghetti...

Since I'm too lazy to write personal updates...I just post some recipe and food pix taken last week on my birthday...




Garlic Bread/ Toast



I used to buy the pre-pack garlic bread but now I like to make it myself. It is actually very easy to prepare and I save lotta $$$$...Just buy the french bread at your local bakery shop. No need to buy the expensive one...only cost less than RM2 at La Boheme and Tesco.

The cost for the spread depends on your choice of butter. As for me I go for the cheap one for making garlic spread because I don't need strong buttery smell.

Ingredients for spread :

- Butter (in room temperature)
- Garlic (blend)
- Salt (if you're not using salted butter)
- Mixed herbs

Put everything in a container and mix. Use the plastic container with cover for easy storage in the fridge.

Slice french bread and spread the butter...hehehe as easy as 1 2 3. Don't forget to toast it first ya ;)




Spaghetti Bolognese



Also very easy to make if you choose simplicity over authentic.


Ingredients for the sauce :

• Spaghetti
• Salted butter
• Tomato Puree (I prefer Ayam brand)
• Minced meat (beef, chicken or mutton...I prefer beef)
• Canned button Mushroom (finely sliced)
• Carrot (dice)
• Tomato (Riped...chopped)
• Yellow Onion (dice)
• Garlic (finely chopped)
• mixed herbs
• Parmesan cheese

How to cook?

• Heat the butter in a large pan. Put in garlic and onion and cook until you smell the aroma of garlic and onion.
• Add the meat and cook until there are no signs of pink.
• Add mushroom, chopped tomato, carrot and keep stirring.
• Put in tomato puree.
• Add mixed herbs.
• Pour in few glasses of water. Let it simmer but make sure it does not dry out.
• Cook until the meat is cooked and turn to thick sauce.
• Cook the spagetti according to package directions and then drain. Coat the spaghetti with olive oil (or butter) to avoid sticking.

Place the spaghetti on the plate and ladle the sauce over the top. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.

The sauce can also be use as pizza base, dip for nachos or toast...just expand your imagination and creativity...explore your inner self...hehehe like me. Just watch out the calory and fat stuffs la if you're on diet or just concern about your intake...my recipe might not be suitable for you...

This was my breakfast...with leftover spaghetti sauce and a simple onion mayo dip for the toast. This was actually too heavy even for me in the morning coz I usually don't take breakfast.

OK la...I'll be back soon.
