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!

Basil-Mint Lemonade.

SUMMER IS HERE! Well, its been here for a while but I'm still screaming because it's not over yet. Now, if you know me, you know that I am always looking forward to summers, regardless, the time of the year and to be honest I'm not ashamed of it. I look forward to summer because I love staying indoors on hot days sipping on a drink. I don't know about you but the reason I stay in is because I live in a very humid city and getting out during the day in the month of June is nearly impossible, so, I curl up with a book and a lemonade waiting for the sun to set. That being said, I'm here to share my favourite lemonade recipe, the one I sip quite often.
Keep in mind that this recipe yields one serving, so, double, quadruple, if needed.

Basil-Mint Lemonade:


Recipe:

1. 5 basil leaves ( I used Thai Sweet Basil);
2. 10 mint leaves;
3. 1.5 cups or 355ml of cold water;
4. 3 tablespoons ground up sugar;
5. 3 tablespoons worth lemon juice.

Procedure:

1. In a food processor, add in: basil leaves, mint leaves, sugar, lemon juice;
2. Blend until cooperated;
3. Pour out in a glass of choice and add in the water;
4, Add ice if needed.

I hope you love the recipe and find it soothing in this heat, until next time!
