Pasta ala "Eddie and I"

I am sure behind every recipe there is a story. Same goes to mine! Upon request of people who openly asked / secretly wants this recipe. And for those who can't cook...you can see how easy this is! Never try, never know.

Everything said here is based on my memory when I cooked it. Haha. Hope you like the end result.

Introducing (sorry, no measurements! but this is roughly it) :

Pasta ala "Eddie and I"

Half a pack of spaghetti /angel hair

1 can of cream

1 onion (diced)

1 garlic clove (mashed)

4 x italian pork sausages (or any other italian-marinaded meat)

2 box of cherry tomatoes

some chilly flake (depends how spicy you want)

some Italian seasonings (which I threw it for fun, cause this is, afterall, an Italian dish)

some milk to stand-by

Parmesan cheese (the flaked one) to taste

black pepper and salt to taste also

1. Cook spaghetti the normal way, set aside in a bowl.
2. Take out the transparent thingy that holds the sausage meat inside together. Cut it into bite size.
3. Take some oil , fry the sausage meat and throw in some chilly flake.
4. Sausage meat half cook, throw in the garlics and onions.
5. When the onions and garlics soft already, pour in the cream (usually I use half and half- half milk, half cream, so it'll be less fattening, but less tasty,too..up to your own preference. I used full milk before, not that satisfying).
6. Let them simmer for like 2 minutes, or when everything is cooked, throw in the tomatoes.
7. Put loads of salt and black pepper, to taste

By this step, it should look like this :

Then after that, throw in the spaghetti, and mix it! Cause usually the spaghetti will make the sauce taste a bit bland, that's when you add the Parmesan cheese, salt and black pepper kao kao! The Parmesan cheese, depends how Parmasancheesy taste you prefer. Can add one tablespoon per tablespoon. I used my hands and take out cheese from the package leh. Don't know how many grams is that.

And thou spaghetti shall look like this:

Gross , but yummy okay, at least to Eddie and I, haha. I ate two bowls at 2am, and stole 2 mouthfuls at 4.30am. And Eddie said no more for me because it's his breakfast T.T

Want to eat you up!

To Annona, who asks :

To my cousin, Elsie ..who always think she can't cook. You can! Everyone can cook.

The story behind this pasta was because I LOVE TOMATO -based pasta, whereas Eddie prefers cream pasta. In general, I love pasta cream ones also la, but would prefer tomato based-depending on my mood actually, Eddie is alright with it only. So rather than making Carbonara (that requires egg YOLKS), I tried making a healthier version..substituting egg yolks with uh tomatoes? and wala, we settled for this, every time we were to eat italian pasta, home made.

Not too tomato-ie for him, and just the right amount of cream for me! :)

And according to Annona, tomato is a slimming agent, so "Eddie and I " Pasta 1, Carbonara 0!
