Sweet & Sour? Pasta @ Home

A bit hungry but found out I didn't stock any meat at home. Cooking plain pasta again will be a bit boring... what about something special? Weeks ago tried a simple recipe of sweet and sour pork loin, let me try to use the same sauce for plain pasta ;-).

Sesame, spaghetti, garlic, shallot, Chinese black vinegar (sour type), ketchup and sugar.

Simple yet not so ordinary, give it a try!

Aglio e Olio @ Home

To gain more confident, should always start with the easiest pasta ;-). Aglio e Olio, a traditional pasta cooked with only spaghetti, olive oil, garlic and chili flakes (the rest optional). Read more about Aglio e Olio here.

Don't want to make my blog a cooking blog, so no recipe from me. With all the ingredients above, should be not tough to produce the following.

And after topped with grated cheese...
