Pasta Aglio

Instead of the usual tomato based or cream based pasta that my kids like, decided to go simple for tonight's dinner.

300g Angel's Hair
3 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup garlic--chopped
300g sausages--sliced
1/2 yellow capsicum--sliced
200g fresh button mushrooms
2 tomatoes--diced
1 red chilli--sliced
salt and pepper

1. Boil angel's hair for 2 minutes and drain.
2. Saute garlic in olive oil until fragrant.
3. Add in sausage and mushrooms and fry till almost cooked.
4. Add in tomatoes, chilli and capsicum.
5. Season with salt and pepper.

Spaghetti with Cream Sauce

Made something simple for lunch. The kids used to love spaghetti with tomato based sauce, but they have come to appreciate creamy sauce now. Added brocolli which G complained about.

Creamy Sauce Spaghetti

300g spaghetti--boiled in salted water until al dente.
100g bacon--sliced
100g fresh button mushrooms--sliced
200g brocolli--chopped roughly
4 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
1 cup milk
Salt and pepper to taste.

1. Fry bacon until crispy.
2. Fry garlic, add brocolli and mushrooms and set aside.
3. Heat up butter and add in flour. Stir quickly over a low fire. Add in milk and stir until mixture is creamy.
4. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. If desired, can add in a can of mushroom soup and add half a can of water.

Creamy Tuna Pasta

Ran out of ideas as to what to cook for lunch over the weekend. Ransacked the pantry and saw the cans of curry tuna and chilli tuna. And since I have some cream in the fridge, decided to do a simple pasta. Fried some garlic and chopped onions, fresh button mushrooms then add the tuna and some cream and fresh milk. Really easy!
The kids love it too.
