Easiest Pasta Of All Time.

You guys. I posted a pasta recipe waayyyy back and I have been experimenting a lot with other recipes a lot lately. The recipe I will show you today is basically the easiest recipe I have ever devised. The pasta turns out creamy, tomatoey and delicious to say the very least, so yeah, I'm going to stop yapping, so, you can go ahead and read up the recipe.

Ingredients: 

1.100 grams (uncooked measure) of cooked pasta;
2. 1/2 cup of tomato puree;
3. 1/4 cup oat or regular milk;
4. 1/4 cup water;
5. 1 teaspoon oregano;
6. 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes (optional);
7. Salt to taste;
8. 2 cloves of garlic.

Procedure:

1. Roast garlic in pan until fragrant;
2. Add in tomato puree, water, oregano, chilli flakes and salt;
3. Let cook on medium high heat for five minutes or until the mixture is halved;
4. Turn the heat to medium low;
5. Add in milk and let cook for three minutes;
6. Add in pasta and let cook for five minutes;
7. Optional is adding in roasted bread crumbs for crunch.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I enjoyed creating it. Until next time!

Shireen's Baked Beans

Have you ever walked into a British bakery, ordered a plate of baked beans on toast, have a taste of it and think, "I could totally recreate this" but then reality hits you hard and then you realize that you have put in Indian spices into your baked beans but it still tastes dang delicious? Well, that's how this recipe was born.
At first, before tasting it, I was really skeptical. My mind ran everywhere thinking I had majorly messed up a lot of food, it took some courage to take one bite and five minutes to complete one serving. I'm not ashamed and I won't judge if you do the same.
Here goes everything:


Ingredients (makes three servings):

1. 1 and 1/2 cup of  cooked soybeans or any other bean of choice;
2. 3 diced tomatoes;
3. 1/4 cup tomato paste;
4. 1 cup vegetable stock;
5. 2 clove of garlic, finely chopped;
6. 1 large onion, chopped;
7. 2 teaspoons curry powder;
8. 1 teaspoon cumin;
9. 1 tablespoon chilli powder;
10. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil;
11. Salt to taste;
12. 1/2 cup cooked corn (optional).

Procedure;

1. In a medium sized pan, warm oil on medium-high heat;
2. Add in the garlic and onion until garlic is fragrant and the onion is translucent;
3. Add in the tomatoes and salt and let the tomatoes cook for five minutes;
4.Add in soybean, corn, cumin, chilli powder, tomato paste, curry powder and vegetable stock;
5. Stir around and cover with lid for 20 minutes or until thickened and reduced.
6. Serve warm with toast ( I serve mine with toast and cream cheese)
Voila! enjoy some warm Indian style baked beans!
