Fettuccine with Meat Balls in Tomato Sauce

Fettuccine with Meat Balls

in Tomato Sauce

 I cooked this last few weeks ago for our weekend brunch.

My family loves to eat any kind of pasta.  They always can't get

enough of it.  Wanted more or 2nd helping after few hours.

Malaysia schools holiday will start tomorrow until end of this year 

and I just love it because the road traffic will be less and I do not need 

to wake up at 6.00 am.  Now I will have longer hour of sleep..Horay!

Same goes to my two young adults going to college.

Eventhough traffic will be less but shopping malls and places of interests

will be full of people (and don't forget the airports also).  

Well, we cannot have both, am I right?

Back to my wonderful recipe.

 I have extra Meat Balls which I frozen it.  

Take it out and thaw at room temperature.

Click here for the Meat Balls recipe.

One jar of ready made Original Tomato Sauce.

 Heat up 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and add the Meat Balls.

No need to cook it so long because your Meat Balls are already cooked.

 Once your Meat Balls already heated up, pour in the

ready made Tomato Sauce.

 Once you notice the sauce bubbling, turn off the fire.

Do not cook so long because the sauce will dry up.  Keep at aside.

Get ready one pot of boiling water with some added salt.

Add in the Fettuccine and cook until al dente.

Drain and toss with some of the boiled water from the pasta to avoid

the Fettuccine stick to each other.

Scoop some of the Meat Balls in Tomato Sauce into the 

drained Fettuccine and mixed well.

Now, you can cook this for your lovely family during this school holiday.

Am sure they will love it.  Mark my words for it.

Salted Shredded Chicken

Salted Shredded Chicken 

 My mother loves to cook this dish to add into the porridge.

Normally she will cook this on Friday together with 

some Fried Noodle or Fried Rice Vermicelli for our dinner.

In fact, it is very easy to cook for those 1st timer and for experience

cook, it will be easy as 123.  If you feel like wanting to eat porridge,

why not try cooking this dish.

 2 pieces of Thighs (clean and cut away the fat)

 Add in the fine Salt and rub the thighs with fine salt

until well coated.  It was around 2 tablespoons of

find salt that I added.  If you find it is not enough,

by all means, add more.

 Look like this when well coated with fine salt.

 Once the pot of water is boiling, steam the thighs.

 To test whether it is cooked, try using a chopstick and 

poke into the thigh, if you see clear water running out and 

not blood, then it is cooked.  Switch off the fire.

 Take out and let it cool before shredding it into pieces.

If you shred into big pieces, you can use a knife by cutting 

into desired sizes.  Left over bones can be stored into 

freezer to make chicken stock.

Pumpkin Seed Cupcake

 Pumpkin Seed Cupcake

Now we are in the month of November.  

Less than 7 weeks and it'll be goodbye Year 2013 and hello Year 2014!  

Are you scared? No, I am not scared, to me, it is just another year.

A lot of people will be saying, aahh..I did not do this, aahh..I did not do that,

what have I achieved, why time flies so fast and etc etc.

I told my husband that I wanted to do patchwork again.  
Yeap! Besides baking and cooking, patchwork is also one of my hobbies.

Well, it is still undecided whether to do it or not to do it.

 Now let's start my recipe of Pumpkin Seed Cupcake.

This one is great for breakfast, snack, tea time or supper.

For me, I had it for my lunch.

It is fluffy and not oily, any health conscious person will like it surely.

15 Minutes - Fried Rice With Carrot and Egg

15 Minutes - Fried Rice With

Carrot And Egg

While posting this fried rice, I am salivating because I love fried rice and

same goes with my family.  

Easy to cook, delicious to eat and cheap to our pocket.

 2 bowls of cooked rice (preferably overnight).

2 beaten eggs with dash of pepper and salt.

1 carrot (cleaned and julienne).

 First of all, you need to cook the carrot to 80% done and leave at one side.

(Note : Don't over cook the carrot)

 Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and 1 teaspoon of salt.

 Add in the cooked rice and stir for 2 minutes.

 Add in the beaten eggs.

 Stir for 3 to 4 minutes or until the eggs 80% done.

 Add in the carrot.

 Stir until all the eggs are cooked.

You will notice that the rice is no more wet.

Sometimes I cook this dish to bring to work for my lunch or

my daughter (crazy for any fried rice) will bring to college.

Both boys in our house (husband and son) will be just boys will be boys,

prefer to eat at home.
