makcik..spergeti with garlic bread satu ahh..

tengah hari tadi..balik lunch jer..i asked sean apa dia nak makan kan..ingat kan nak buat sandwich jer with salad and soup..but he requested spaghetti with the work. which is inclusive of garlic bread and caeser salad. have to say, this meal..mmg diorang nyer favourite lah. cuma tulah..sometimes mmg malas nak buat kan..hahahha. but kesian tengok orang puasa..so buat jugaklah :) and this is how i make my home made garlic bread.

kata garlic bread kan..so kena taruk garlic banyak..no need to lokek with this..kalau tak..the taste is going to be very mild jer..no kick. but lepas makan..jangan lah breathe dekat2 orang eh..hahahha

next thing..is the herb of choice..for this one, i prefer parsley. nak nak italian parsley..kalau kat sana susah nak dapat..pakai jer curly parsley kat pasar..but taste wise, italian nyer lagi strong and better tasting lah. this one came from my garden ..i ada lah dua tiga pokok mende ni :) nanti insyallah time nak dekat winter, i nak harvest the leaves and make the garlic herbed butter like this and freeze them in the freezer :)

kalau ada mini processor, use it..kalau tak kan..you can just cincang the garlic and the parsley using the knife..

then you add the softned butter and gaul..kalau tak pakai mende ni lah. kalau pakai kan..ah lepas process the garlic and the parsley..put a stick of butter. kalau pakai unsalted butter, make sure you put in a bit of salt and pepper to taste lah..kalau tak tawar lerr..but kalau pakai salted butter, then no need lah.

dah jadi herbed garlic butter, for spreading on bread to make garlic bread. this butter also is good to lomor on chicken and roast it or pan fry it. :) and this butter can freeze very well kalau buat terlebih.

there ya go..sapu jangan tak sapu :)

and the bakar..i put under the broiler...so the top is garing but still soft at the bottom.

the spergeti with marinara sauce :) i buat pedas nyer. trick to making pasta sauce..make sure it is not too sweet. it has to be tangy yet flavourful..kalau too tangy..can add lah a tsp of sugar or two..but not too much ( ni dah macam ribena nyer ad eh..ingat tak..or is it susu nyer ad? can i have some? yes but not too much..hahaha )

the homemade caesar salad..easy recipe :) one egg yolk, a tbs of mustard, 2 anchovy fillets, a dash of worcetershire sauce, 2 cloves of garlic, juice of a lemon, salt and pepper, 1/4 cup olive oil or to taste..then blender all this things and add grated parmesan cheese when tossing :)

the seal of approval :)
