Dhill's cooking: Macaroni Marinara dhill's style

I thought i just want to have sandwich for dinner. Bila aku bagitau hubby dia ckp takkan roti je... so aku pun pi le Mydin kat Bkt jelutong masa on d way balik cari mee nak buat mee goreng. Then ternampak lala kat shelves seafood. Buat spaghetti le malam ni..cancel mee goreng. Sampai kat rumah tengok stok spaghetti dah abih.. yg ada just macaroni. Boleh lah...

Info that i got from wikipedia on marinara

Marinara sauce (Italian salsa marinara or salsa alla marinara) is a type of tomato sauce that originated in Naples after the Spaniards had introduced the tomato from the New World. The word marinara is derived from marinaro, which is Italian for "of the sea".

This time aku buat lain dr yg selalu aku buat. I put more carrot in it..

Bahan2:

1/2 kg lala

3-4 ekor sotong (hiris bulat)

2 bawang putih dicincang

1/2 labu bawang besar di dadu

2 biji cili merah (dipanggang, buang kulit & cincang)

2 biji tomato saiz besar (kelar, celur, rendam air, buang kulit & cincang)

1 biji carrot (diparut halus)

2 sudu teh oregano

sedikit serbuk pati ayam

2 sudu besar cili sos

Air dlm secawan

garam

sedikit cheddar cheese (klu ada parmesan lagi best)

Macaroni lebih kurang 1 cawan (direbus as reccommended on the packaging)

Cara2:

Tumis bawang putih & bawang besar dlm sedikit minyak. Bila dah naik bau masuk cili & tomato. Kacau sampai layu. Masukkan carrot & air separuh. Bila dah didih tutup api. Masuk air yg separuh lagi dlm blender. Then masukkan sos yg separuh masak tu dlm blender. Tujuan masukkan air tu utk elakkan blender rosak sebab sos yg panas tu.. blend sampai hancur. Masukkan balik sos dlm periuk. Masak sampai pekat. Masukkan lala, sotong, serbuk pati ayam, garam, soso cili, oregano. Gaul rata & biar sampai lala & sotong masak. Tutup api. Masukkan cheese. Gaul. Tuang atas macaroni yg dah direbus.

Bon Appétit!!!

Note: Sos tu tak yah blend pun takpe. Saja je buat camtu nak kasi creamy sikit.

BTW, hubby gave 2 thumbs up for the above. Love the lala in the sauce soooo muchhh!!

Food hunting: Kenny Rogers Roaster @ Midvalley

Nak tengok HITCH on TV2, so just gambar je dulu..

UPDATE 20.01.2010

Lama tak pi kenny rogers.. klu teringin nak makan grilled chicken, aku prefer nandos. Tp kali ni tukar selera lak. Masa ni pi midvalley.. tak de idea nak mkn apa, at last landed kat sini ;)

Suka muffin jagung dorang.. tp sekarang dah tak de.. so amik muffin vanilla je.

Quarter set meal for hubby .. aku suka coleslaw dia, dah boleh lawan nandos yg pada aku mcm dah tak best.

Spaghetti & chicken for me. .. rugi sbb harga mahal dr quarter meal, spaghetti tu bukannya byk sgt pun, & dah le tu sos tu sama je aku rasa dgn dorang punya macaroni & cheese. Klu amik quarter meal siap boleh dpt 3 side dish lagi!

Food Hunting : Cowboy station @ Tasik Kelana Jaya

11 Feb 2009.. after work we went for dinner at restoran tepi tasik kelana jaya. Tak sure nama apa.. tp ada cowboy2 cam tu.

Fish & chip yg tak best.. serving size kecik tak padan dgn harga. Dah le tu tartar sauce pun tak de..

Nasi goreng pun cam bodoh je.. plain sesangat.
Harap ice-lemon tea je yg ok.

SUMPAH aku tak pi dah mkn kat sini!!!

(opps.. takut aku ter'makan' sumpah pulak nanti..)

FOOD HUNTING: CHOP n STEAK, Kg Baru

Yang aku & hubby makan for dinner on 16 Feb 2009.

I had my favourite fish & chip.. tp this time tak best. Dry je ikan dia! Harga RM6.90.

Hubby had hot plate rice with black pepper beef. Yg ni memang best! Harga tak sampai RM10.

Food hunting : Nando's

Kitaorang selalu jugak pegi mkn kat nando's. Dulu2 every 2-week. Tapi sekarang dah kurang sikit. Rasanya aku mula mkn kat sana tahun 1998/1999. masa tu kat china town. aku suka its grilled chicken with peri2 sauce (flaming hot of course) + tomato ketchup + garlic sauce. chips, rice n coleslaw pun best. Ok lah, tak mahal sgt.






Mine.. quarter chicken.. flaming hot.. chips and coleslaw.

Hubby tgh cari mood nak mkn (quarter chicken meal - peri2 lemon, rice and coleslaw).

Selection of peri2 sauce - garlic, hot, flaming hot and tomato ketchup.
