The other day, Lili requested for Spaghetti but we didn't have any pasta so we had to buy the ingredients yesterday, I cooked the requested dish for today's. It was Chicken, Mushrooms, ground chicken and vege-meat that I used so it is much healthier. The carbohydrates from the pasta plus the protein in the sauce makes it all different.
Before the mushrooms could be sliced, they had to be soaked in water to make them soft-- changing the water many times to remove the odor and to ensure that the mushrooms is clean before using. In same manner, the vege-meat had to be soaked with water and ensure that water is also changed many times.
I used three medium sized tomatoes, one medium sized bell pepper, a clove of garlic and one head onion. Tomotoes and bell pepper cubed, while garlic and onion finely chopped. For spices, I used Thyme, Oregano and Basil. The pasta we cooked was just 400 grams, and the pack of sweet sauce came with it already.
In a carajay, I sauteed the garlic, onions, bell pepper and tomatoes in a small amount of oil, followed by the ground chicken, sliced mushrooms and vege-meat. A cup of finely grated Parmesan cheese was added, then the sweet sauce. When the sauce was almost cooked, I added grated Cheddar Cheese. Then the boiled pasta (aldente), was added to the sauce, thereby adding more Parmesan and Cheddar cheeses..
Of course, the best part is tasting them.. I prefer eating without the Cheese topping since the Spaghetti is already cheesy, but my companions at home prefer added cheese toppings..
So that was lunch.. Yum Yum..
