An urban (hectic?!) life of an interior designer

In case you are wondering…..

This is what happened:

a super duper yummy breakfast!

Loook at the yummy bruschetta look a like! But they are actually a garlic bread top with a bolognese gravy!

Yup! I purposely cooked extra bolognese gravy yesterday as I’m saving them for breakfast! Even it’s not the original bruschetta recipe but this one tasted even better with a local twist of  bolognese gravy! (as they have more spices and definitely more ingredients like capsicum, bird eyes chillie and olive…yum… and minced beef is a bonus though…) As you would know, the overnight gravy always gets better as they become thicken and the taste blended really well then.

But to be frank, I don’t bake the bread myself, instead I got the ready-made garlic bread from Giant, I love it  for them are really crispy, giving an extra kick for this meal!

1/2 bitten...look at the fallen crispy on the table...

My deep love for pasta keeps me looking for a reason to try a new recipe involving them and this is one of it.  I just love to modified the recipe to my own liking (Well, actually this is originally a spaghetti gravy, u can have it in the end of this post…..I just mix & match the gravy and paired them with a bread, don’t u think? hehe) And it’s so simple we actually always having them for a cozy tea time (if I made them for lunch) or a quick supper (if I’m cooking for dinner)!

Enough said, this combination made a healthy and yummy light snack of all time!

Way to go to face a Blue Monday….

Good Morning everyone!

What a way to splurge on weekend…woke up late… and having home cooked meal for brunch!

spicy tomatoes spaghetti with prawn

spicy bolognese spaghetti

To prepare this was easy peasy!

First, diced whole yellow holland onion, a few of bird eyes chillies (to ur taste bud) and sautee them in an olive oil for a few minutes before adding the spices: oregano, basil, thyme and bay leaves. ( i used dried leaves)

oregano basil thyme bay leaves

Stir them till fragrant, pour a whole can of Pergo tomato sauce (sometimes I used peeled tomatoes in a can, even fresh baby tomatoes, depends on my mood) then, depends on ur preference (mine is seafood or minced beef ~ for I like to use Marina Beef Burger Salisbury Steak coz they taste just like IKEA meatball! ) add them together with diced capsicum & black olive.  Bring to boil & season with salt.

Served with al-dente spaghetti or any fav. pasta.

This is our all  time favourite meal at home as it’s easy yet dam yummy! Plus they are healthy I dun mind having them everyday! Yum!Yum! (come to think of it, I do have them couples of time a week! hehehe)

Njoy!

P/S: I used Pergo (I prefer spicy tomatoes or mushroom flavour) if I wanted thicker and sour gravy, otherwise I used fresh tomatoes for more sweetness…
