GARLIC-GINGER ROTINI PASTA
WITH CHEESE
This evening, I am going to prepare a pasta dish.
A quick one. And a very simple one. Bryan is on his way home. Which means, I should just do something I'm comfortable with. No intense frying of fish or meat, blending of several ingredients or mixing of more than two sauces or herbs. Those are Bryan's specialty.
My cooking will have to be kindergarten easy, to avoid any disaster from brewing or exploding. I've just checked my kitchen cabinet and found a packet of rotini pasta which I don't remember buying. Checked the expiry date - 19.10.10. Took that out and that's how I came to the decision to make pasta tonight. :D
1. Boil the Pasta
in salted water until just tender.
Drain and set aside.
2. Side Salad
While waiting for the pasta,
blanch some vegetables in a separate pot
of boiling water.
Add carrots, broccoli and baby corn.
Plunge into ice-cold water to retain its crispiness.
Transfer to individual plates. Add red bell peppers.
Squeeze lemon juice, add a dollop of mayonnaise
and a shake of black pepper.
A little bit difficult for me to take a photo
of the blanching and the plunging. :(

Simple, don't You think?
This is my ah, healthy plate of pasta.
I am drizzling a bit of flaxseed oil over.
Love the nutty smell of flaxseed oil. :D
Bryan and Justine are having their pasta with cheese.

I had my one shake of The Green Drink in the morning,
egg sandwiches for lunch and pasta for dinner.
