Making A Pasta Dish

-


Are you a pasta person? Like anything as long as its pasta?

I love pasta, though its not one of the worlds healthiest food, it is such an enjoyable food to eat. Here I made a quick pasta dish. You can do the same at home and throw together what you have into a a pot and mix it in with your pasta and there you go. In mere minutes you have an enjoyably delicious meal.

Follow instructions below for Making the ideal pasta dish

Pasta Dish
Servings 4
Prep time: 30 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Source: Elise Jackson


Ingredients:
1lb meat (can be anything from bacon, ground meat, sausage, chicken, seafood, beef, pork)
2-3 cups Green vegetable
1 box Your choice pasta
Your choice sauce as listed below
seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic powder

Ingredients for Basic Sauces:
White wine sauce - 2 cup heavy cream and 1/3 white wine
White cheese sauce - 2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup cheddar cheese
Pink sauce - 1 1/2 cup Heavy cream and 1/2 cup tomato sauce
Red wine sauce - 2 cup tomato sauce and 1/4 cup white wine
red sauce - 2 cup tomato sauce

Directions:
Lets get started, now that you have your meat, your green vegetable and your pasta. Start off by following the instruction on the back of your pasta and boil for the allotted amount of time instructed. Drain and set aside to cool.

Cut your meat into bite sized cubes, Take a big pot and adding a little oil, cook your meat for a few minutes on medium high heat until cooked all the way through and no longer raw. Choose which sauce you want and Add in your sauce ingredients to the pot ( feel free to add or take away from the suggested amounts of sauce to use.) Cook on medium high heat for 10 minutes, mixing once in a while to not stick to pot and get burned.

Lower heat to medium low, add in your seasonings and green vegetables and cook for another 15 minutes or until sauce slightly thickens.

To Serve neatly try plating the pasta first and then using a big spoon, scoop the meat and vegetable sauce on top in the center of your pasta. Mixing the pasta and sauce together into a big bowl before plating at times tends to come out a bit dry and not very saucy.

Note: Pictured above I made a " Crawfish Fettucini Alfredo" For my meat I used crawfish, my green vegetable was broccoli and my sauce was the white cheese sauce.

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F
