Entry malam ni nak membayar hutang piutang segala recipes yang dah lama dijanjikan. Takut pulaknya nanti ada orang kata kita kedekut tak nak share recipe, hehehe. Bukannya kedekut nak share sebenarnya tapi takut pulak nanti recipe tak se'sedap' gambar. Kebanyakan dishes yang I make bukannya ikut recipe betul2, main tambah2 and main campak2 ikut apa bahan yang ada masa tu. So, kalau sesiapa yang nak cuba buat tu, pandai2 lah godek2 sendiri ikut citarasa masing2 so cukup segala rasanya mengikut selera tekak masing2 ye!

1. Spinach, mushroom and ricotta penne

-about 100g baby spinach leaves (kalau kat m'sia kena guna daun bayam yg kecil2 tu lah rasanya)

-1 cup ricotta cheese (kalau takde boleh guna cottage cheese but kena tambah other cheese bagi flavour sikit like parmesan or cheddar ke)

-1/2 brown onion, diced finely

-1 clove garlic, minced

-100g button mushroom, sliced

-20g butter

-salt and pepper to taste

- 250g pasta ( any shape you like)

-grated parmesan cheese for serving

-First, masak spinach until wilted sama ada steam or rebus or microwave. Then squeeze the leaves, make sure tak banyak air yang tinggal. Chop coarsely.

- Then heat the butter in a frying pan until melted. Add the onion and the garlic and saute sampai masak.

-Then add the mushroom, and saute lagi sampai mushroom masak. Matikan api.

-In a blender or food processor, put the chopped cooked spinach, the mushroom and onion mixture and the ricotta cheese and blitz them until semua bercampur and the spinach dah finely chopped. Add salt and pepper to taste. Put it aside.

- Masak pasta seperti di packet and drain it.

-Put the pasta back in the pot and pour the ricotta n spinach mixture onto the pasta. Mix it well and dah siap untuk dihidang. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on it before eating.

- Kalau nak yang non vegetarian version, boleh add cooked sausages, frankfurters or cooked beef rashers.

2. Home made beef burger

-500g beef mince

-1 small brown onion, diced finely

-1 piece of white bread to make into breadcrumb (masuk dlm blender and pulse until jadi breadcrumb)

-1 tsp worcestershire sauce (sauce Lea&Perrins)

-1 tbsp tomato sauce

-3/4 tsp salt

-1/4 tsp chili powder (optional kalau nak pedas)

-1 egg, kacau sedikit ( small size)

-Put everything in a bowl and ramas menggunakan jari sehingga semua bercampur sebati. Kalau rasa geli nak ramas, masukkan dlm food processor dan pulse until all mixed.

- Shape them ikut besar mana n tebal mana kita nak.

- You can either grill the burger or BBQ or masak kat frying pan, terpulang ikut citarasa masing2 but jangan guna minyak yg banyak to make it healthy.
