SPAGHETTI CARBONARA with spinach


Believe it or not, i'm writing on recipe again!!
(Chet! bunyi macam banyak kali je kan, padahal ni baru yang no. 2. HAHA)

It was last last Thursday, i was fasting.
When hubby asked me what i wished for berbuka, I quickly told him, "I'm gonna cook, bebeh!".
Oh Oh, actually I had nothing on my mind.
The raw ingredients such as veges, fish, chicken or meat inside my fridge were all out of stock.
Biasenye kalau macam ni, i buat nasi goreng cina je.
(Sonang yo, ikan bilis ngan tolo ado, semuo eh jalan..:p)

My Finance class finished at 4.30pm.
On the way to get my car, i saw 'Prego' made some promotions at a corner.
I walked myself there to get the idea.
Owh! i always love Prego's Traditional sauce!!
It makes my bolognese meatball Confirm sedap. Hehe.
(almaklumla nak buat sendiri sauce dia x berapa jadi :p)

I drove back home with these in my hands;
1. 300g Prego's Mushroom Sauce (Market Price Rm3.95)
2. 300g Prego's Traditional Sauce (Market Price Rm3.95)
3. 300g Prego's Carbonara Mushroom Sauce (Market Price Rm3.95)
4. 2 x 450g Ideal Gourmet's Spaghetti (Market price unknown)
All for RM10.00. Ok lah kan!!


On the way back, my mind was twisting, which sauce i'd like to try on. Obviously, traditional sauce has been few times, mushroon..hmm..hubby not really into it.. so, my vote went to Carbonara. Plus, carbonara is always hubby's all time favourite (Buat-buat x nampak ade perkataan mushroom kat belakang tu :P)

Persoalannya, beranikah i amik risiko? I never cook this sauce before. Ntah sedap ke tidak. Dah la puasa x bleh nak rasa. Buatnya x sedap. Uish... Maka, jalan terbaik, informed my hubby awal-awal, xde maknenye nak surprise-surprise. hihi.

Me: Kidd, bi nak wat Carbonara. Sila jangan gelak.
Kidd: Wau!! mesti sedap (i boleh bayangkan waktu ni hidung dia kembang kempis. Ciss!)
Me: Haip!!. Kidd, Kalau x sedap, kita makan kat luar ek.
Kidd: Ok dong.
Thank you hubby for being so sporting. :)

Before i reached home, i managed to make a 5 minutes stop at HERO to grab some additional ingredients. (x rawk la kan masak kuah kosong je..eceh)

So, here we go the bahan-bahan to make my SPAGHETTI CARBONARA with spinach;
1. 1 tin of 300g Prego's Carbonara Mushroom Sauce
2. 200g of Spaghetti (Any type pun boleh, boil macam biase, add some butter or myk masak supaya x melekat)
3. Meat (Ikut suka hati nak banyak mana)
4. Some soft spinach leaves (my own add)
5. 2 pcs of cheddar cheesdale (Nak bagi cheesy so that the mushroom taste x kuat sangat)

and my flow goes like this;

The first thing i did next to boil the spaghetti, was roasting the meat and cut it into tiny tiny pieces.


After that, heat the sauce in a pan, then add in the minced beef, cheese and spinach


Using Prego's, no salt's needed. Dia dah cukup masin. :)
Selepas itu, kacau-kacau-kacau.. maka siaplah

Serving for 3, Me, hubby and husband.. ahaks

I managed to finish cooking at 6.30 pm just the right time to fetch Oman at his Day Care. Wee!

Well, after tasted it during bebuka puasa, let me be honest, it will never ever taste like yummy cheesy carbonara at Italianies... but .. i was happy enough when Kidd repeated the meal 3 times. Hihi. (dia tengah lapar kot :p)

p/s: Oman ate a bowl of this by himself. Dia punya comot sebijik macam i bila pakai masque. Nampak mata je. Kekekee :P


XOXO,

  5. Che' Yan, compare dgn Carbonara,i suka bolognese lagi. Prego punya mmg mantop. Kalau pasta..paling i suka aglio olio prawn... yum yum!! :)

    ******

    Nuurill suka last minute menu. Tapi confirm rengkas2 je la.. haha

    Nadia, Nuurill bukan amik Master class la yang. Training class sebenarnya. Finance for Non-Finance Executive. Almaklumla bila dah masuk line yg banyak kene manage2 ni, kene la tau sesikit bab Finance. Tapi Nuurill mmg ade niat nak sambung Master, Insya Allah. Nadia buat course Engineering jugak ek? Tabik! Tabik! :)

  7. Oman tu pelakon tambahan je. Usually i'll cook saperate meal for him.
    Tapi Biasela dia, jeles tgk orang tua2 makan. Hihi.

    By the way, TQ for the reminder, Pakcik Shaq. :)

  14. Hehe mst ttp comel kn Oman?:)

    Nurill, izu pn sll guna Prego klu nk wat spageti ke lasagnia pr pizza ke..sbb instant kn? so mudah la, sng n cpt je nk siapkn. sedap pn sdp..hihi..

  15. hey i pon a big fan of Prego -- ive tried all of the flavors, dgn yg cheese-cheese sume pon i dah try. but since im a BIG fan of mushrooms, the best to me is Mushroom! hehe.

    u know, ive tried making carbonara using Prego, but aien tak brapa nak suka. i pon sebenarnya tak brapa suka, tp since i yg masak, kene paksa "up" diri sendirik pastu kata sedap la hahaha. so aien asked me to try cooking without using the instant sauce, and guess what? it tastes a whole lot better, even aydein pon suka gila! cuba u try, you. instead of using Prego, u substitute pakai cream. im sure it will taste a whole lot better, nak nak lagi air tangan u kan! confirm terangkat punye lah! :P

  16. CHe' Dee, the spinach idea was adopted from Italianies jugak. Nuurill x ingatla pulak apa nama menu dia.. but we had spinach in cheesy gravy and dimakan with garlic bread. Sumpah sedap!! :) Good Good..Hadif suka spinach jugak yer. Nanti boleh jadi kuat macam popeye sama ngan Oman. Hahahaha

    **********

    No worries Zura. Carbonara Prego boleh la tahan oknyer. But sendiri lagi sedap kot. Hihi. Cumanya nak buat sendiri tu, Nuurill kene study dulu cara2 nyer. hehehehehe. Zura x pernah try Traditional Sauce dia lagi ke? Ha, yang ni mmg saaaangat sedap!!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Izzu, mesti sedapkan buat lasagnia and pizza with prego. Nuurill harus cuba jugak. Bila time nak cepat dan senang, mmg Prego saaaaaangat berkhidmat untuk negara!! hihihhihii

  18. Thara, i ade 1 tin of Prego mushroom Sauce. U cook cemana ek dear? Ade tambah bahan2 lain x? Boleh i try next :)

    Well, kalau ikut kata2 jujur Armi, dia kata Prego nnyer sauce boleh makanla. But kalau dia dah lapar tu, dia telan je sampai 3 kali. Haha. Ikutkan Armi fussy jugak. Kalau x berapa sedap ni, dia x tambah, tu maknanya dah lapar tahap gaban la tu. :P Have u tried carbonara at italianies? my hubby giler suka. hihi..

    I wish one day i can master buat my own carbonara sauce. xmainla tin tin ni kan. :P Almaklumla, encik suami dah suka.. x reti-reti lagi nak belajar Nuurill? hahahaha

  19. there are many ways to make cabonara ni, babe. kalau tgk recipe, mmg so many ways to do it. ada yang complicated, ada yang super easy. i penah try yang complicated, my hubs tak brapa nak berkenan jugak. last2 masa i dok try buat for aydein, campak campak je semua benda, jadik pulak! sedap pulak tu! haha. i pakai cream, babe. kalau u suka rasa yang light je, tapayah whisk dgn telur. it's so easy! kalau i have time nanti, i'll try to share ok :) and yes, the ingredients also depend. kalau nak carbonara seafood, i tambah la udang, crab meat, straw mushroom. ala-ala yg dkt secret recipe tu. kalau nak cepat, i hiris hotdog pastu campak je dlm sauce tu :P

    yeap, ive tried the one in Italiannies. mmg sedap! :D

    ps : babe, u ckp u balik dari class Finance? u pon tgh sambung masters ke?

  20. Owh Nadine!!!!!!... i baca2 balik..rupanya i termissed out nak reply your comment. Sorry sangat dear. Huhu

    Nadine, alat tu, it is the same alat i guna untuk buat waffle Oman. it's actually a sandwich maker, waffle maker and griller at the same time. 3 in 1 lah ni. Tell u, grill kat alat ni mmg mudah dan sonang sebab u just have to change the inner compartment. It's Cucina, 3 in 1 Sandwich maker by Philips. :)

    Uish..daging salai.. sodap amek tu you. Kalau u buat ape kata ajak i makan sekali.. heheheheheh :)

    Irra, esya mesti peminat cheese ni. :) I pernah dulu masa musim cheese.. lunch x makan nasik you. I bakar roti gardenia tu, dengan letak sesekeping Chesdale kat tengah-tengah. Pergh!!! yum yum..
