Post #87

havent blogged for a while, and that's because i havent cooked anything other than microwaving leftovers (if that can be regarded as cooking...) and whacking the simplest and plainest stir fry veg. eating out did contribute to this 'laziness' as well.

feeling obliged to post something up, i resorted to my archive - food that i've cooked a while ago but havent yet had a chance to post up. this is one of them. i wouldnt call this a failed attempt, but the outcome turned out quite differently from what i expected...


-Fettucini with prosciutto, carrots + broccolini-

i had this vision of chopping all ingredients in thin strips so that each ingredient would replicate the fettucini so *if all goes well*, you'd have colourful orange, green and yellow strips that you can twirl around with a fork. hm... i still fancy the idea, but there was a problem with the execution... the chopping of the veg, particularly the broccolini was a struggle. it was almost mission impossible to cut long thin strips =.= and the idea didnt seem so good afterall when i was trying to juggle between chopping distorted long strips of veg and avoiding fingers being chopped at the same time =.=

anyways, taste wise, it was good. added some anchovies and onion to start the cooking process, and a dollop of pesto at the end *as i had a bunch of basil left in the fridge*.
