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

PEDAS DAN LAZAT

Oman's having cold since few days ago. He's appetite macam ala-ala je tau. Pity him.

Of all, he still likes to eat fried egg or omelette. Oh hoh, Oman pronounces telur as 'tolo' tau. :p

We were in Rembau on last weekend to attend my cousin's wedding. On Saturday night, we had the dinner at a restaurant not so far from pekan Rembau. As Oman was not really eating during breakfast and lunch, so i ordered plain telur dadar for him, dengan harapan he'd eat it banyak-banyak bagi sampai kenyang. I ordered veges' soup and rice too.

He was so happy to see the 'tolo' when it's coming. Dahla panas kan, momma pun terpaksala jadi kipas angin speed no. 3 sebab anak bujang tu x nyempat-nyempat tau!! He kept "agi!!" "agi!!". That's showing him really wanna eat the food. (Owh specifically the 'tolo'.. the soup orang lain yang habiskan. :p)

At one point, he refused me to attend him. This time, he wanted to eat the 'tolo' by himself. Nasib baik dah sejuk momma hembus.

Sedang asyik dia makan 'tolo'.. Tiba-tiba.. he cried.. loudly!! When i looked at him, i saw him touching his mouth and his face expression was like he had swallowing something spicy. My hubby who was sitting on Oman's right quickly grabbed him and opened his mouth. Nothing weird was seen.

So i checked his plate.. until i saw a cut of Red Chili!!
Ish Ish. Poor my boy. He must has been biting it.

Oman's kept rubbing his mouth and calling for help. We tried to keep ourselves not to panic because if we were, Oman might getting more scared and uttered that it'd make thing worse that it was. So, what me and my hubby did were, we let him drink warm plain water as much as he could and applied ices to his lips and tongue. That's all we could think beside pray hard that kepedasan Oman tu cepatla hilang.

I felt so guilty to Oman that i was not checking thoroughly the omelette if it's really plain or not before i let him attended himself. Dahla anak bujang i tu baru selera nak makan.
Uhuk Uhuk.
Another thing, i was so afraid that if he'd be phobia to eat 'tolo' at all after that incident.

After some times, Oman dah pun ok. I tried to let him eat the remaining 'tolo'. Alhamdulillah, Oman x phobia pun. Malah he continued eating like nothing happened just now. Lega!!

Lucky it was Cili Besar bukan Cili api OK!!. If it's Cili Api??... Ugh!!
Momma so sorry, Oman. huhu.
I promised myself, i'd be extra careful next time.

Alhamdulillah, Oman xde pulak sakit perut or ape-ape after that night. My hubby cakap, maybe Oman reacted that way sebab terkejut as that was his first time tasted spicy thing. Ntah-ntah sebenarnya dia ok ajek. Hmm.. i wonder. I think not this soon kot nak bagi dia makan cili. Hihi.

Dearies, any petua x untuk cepat legakan if our kids termakan benda-benda pedas?

*****

On Sunday, it was only me and Oman at home. Dadda pagi-pagi lagi dah ade job kat studio.
As to pay my guilty to Oman due to 'tolo' pedas dia makan. I made him pancake versi waffle. Aik? why versi waffle because it was supposed to be a pancake but due to my stove tetiba abih gas.. :P so i had to use waffle maker instead. Jadila dia bentuk waffle. :)

I never share any recipe kan sebelum ni kat sini, segan plak rasa. Kalau salah dan silap harap maafkan. Saya budak baru belajar. :p

It's a simple recipe as below (Diubah suai from Annabel Karmel's New Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner)

Bahan-bahan
************************
1 cup of flour (i main agak je sebenonyer tepung gandum ni banyak mana)
150ml milk (i guna Dutch Lady full cream fresh milk)
2 eggs (Kalau rajin asingkan putih and kuning, pukul asing lagi bagus. Kalau x, campur je pun xpe. Cuma nanti x berapa moist la)
A pinch of salt (Sket je tau.. Nak bagi lemak)
2 spoons of butter (Kata nenek ni nak bagi rangup)
Little melt butter.
3 bars of chocolate masakan
Strawberry slices

Cara-Cara
**********
Mix tepung gandum, salt ke dalam 1 bekas. Make a hole in the middle, and masukkan telur kuning. Stir them while slowly pour the milk into the bowl. Then insert the white egg. Gaul lah sehingga adunannya lembut. Kalau ada mixer elok guna, kalau xde macam i, gunakanlah tangan dengan kelajuan angin. :)

Cara sebenar if nak buat pancake, sapu melt butter on the pan then insert a thin layer of the adunan tadi . Agak-agak dah masak, boleh balik-balikkan dan angkat.

Kalau tetiba gas anda habis, bolehla guna waffle maker macam i. Tuang aje dalam the maker and tutup ..tunggu sehingga butang hijau menyala.. :P

Untuk topping i used chocolate masakan and cook it sampai melt. Then, i spread it on top of the pancake/waffle. As for the strawberry, u can deco it as creative as u like.

wah lah!! :P

Choc Strawberry Pancake versi waffle

I was first anxious to see how Oman would react when he tasted it. Hihi.
Ternyata, Oman sangatlah suka. Baguih anak mak! hehehe

Perhatian, jangan lupa pakaikan bip to you kid if he insisted to have his own meal with gravy or topping by himself.
Kalau x, jadila dia macam my son ni.
jenuh pulak nak rendam baju dia lepas tu.

Sekian :)
