Innovazione Di Spaghetti

Ciao, Come va? Lols, Well you know google translate just helped me to find the correct Italiano words (Tee hee! :p ). Since my introduction is Italiano, then i bet you already know what will i discuss here. Yes Italian Cuisines! I read Italian food lists on Wikipedia just before i write this one and I found lotsa foods name from Antipasti (the starter foods) to soups, pasta and so on. I even found out that Nutella, the most delicious hazelnut chocolate spread, is made from Italy. I mean why i never notice, or probably i didn't read too much on my favorite spread Lols. So here we go.

Couples of week ago, my dearest bestie told me that his family loves to have some spaghetti at home. He can cooks, so he was the one that made the Spaghetti aglio e olio. Well, i like spaghetti too since ever so i tried to give him another idea of aglio e olio. Its basically same with aglio because the basic is garlic and olive oil, but i have lil more ingredients to add. So its like aglio innovation LOLS. Its easy, a bit spicy, but good stuff. I also add some milk and cheese on this spaghetti. Well, u know, we have no rules here! 

What you needs:

250 g Spaghetti

1 or 2 Tuna in oil (its depend on your taste)

5 Garlic (chopped)

1 big Onion (chopped)

10 Lime leaves (thinly slice)

10-15 Bird's eye chili (or just whatever chili, but if u can make it please have the bird's eye one) 

200 cc Milk

100 g Cheese (I use cheedar or Parmessan)

2 table spoons Margarine

Salt*

Sugar*

Oregano*

*according to your taste or you may add 1 teaspoon of each for the first. You can add more if it hasn't taste well

I use chops stick instead of fork, like an Asian lols

How to make:

-Boil the Spaghetti. You can cook it Al Dente style or just whatever you like (Coz i love to cook my spaghetti done, sometimes well done lols)

-Saute the garlic and onion with margarine. Add the tuna in oil.

-Add the chopped lime leaves, chili, salt&sugar, milk and some cheese. Also oregano. Stir well.

-Add the spaghetti and stir evenly.

-DONE LOLS!  (Seems i am a bit less well in giving instruction, pardonatemi!)

So you can see the look is kinda white, like soft or something, but please dont underestimate the color coz its actually smokin hot. If you dont like spicy foods you may put less chili. Oh dont forget to spread the cheese on top, it will make it more yummey. After all i still have one invented spaghetti, i will write this one later. So, happy cooking, with no rules. BAI!

No Rules Cooking

August will end soon, and this blog is almost 2 years old! WEEEEEEE! I know i was not really productive since mid last year coz my health problems. But i am trying to keep writing since now i get healthier. I come back to the kitchen, and i told Amanda (kitchen partner, cousin, masterchef rival) yesterday, i was so glad that i could stand in the kitchen again and make some foods again with her like i wanna cry coz its really amazing after one year of pain. Yesterday i made Nasi Goreng Teri* with her and we had some debates. Its kinda often coz we are different in the way of cooking. I am more open about the ingredients and so on, she kinda stuck with the recipe.Improvement sometimes can makes her worry about the taste. 

So, yesterday we prepared the stuffs for nasi goreng. For me, garlic is the basic thing, so nasi goreng needs some garlic while she said there is not garlic on the recipe she found. A lil debate, then i won. We got 2 garlics, some chillies, anchovy, and 2 eggs. I chopped the garlic and stuffs while she were frying the anchovy. She complained about the way i chopped the stuffs and then i said life is free, so does cooking. Theres no rules in our own kitchen. She quite, kinda mad, but she wasnt. When our nasi goreng almost finished, she kinda not satisfied with the taste, i asked her to put salt, she said the anchovy already salty. Then i asked her to put some sugar, she said we didnt need sugar in our nasi goreng. So finally, she kinda hopeless and asked my opinion to put some sesame oil. I said if u want to put it, just put it, innovation. Then she put some. She  then offered to put some fish sauce and i just asked her to put whatever she likes. At the end she also put some Worcestershire sauce, its mean she already put 3 different sauces in one dish.

I feel so happy that she finally made some improvement even though i knew the taste will be out of our prediction. YES ITS TASTE WEIRD. She didnt like it but i was just trying to convince her that its good to make some changes, some improvements. At the end, we did eat the nasi goreng together, we shared some to her mom and brother. She had some sambal in her nasi goreng to fix the taste. No nasi goreng left, meaning, even though we thought its kinda failure, but when people eat and have nothing to complained for, we still did a great job.

So, you know, rules are made to be broken. When you have no rules, it will make you easier but it must be adapted to your condition. For example, if you work in hotel kitchen, your way of cooking will be so much different from your way at home. Yeah everybody knows that, thats not a good example though nadia lols!
