I always wanted to surprise my love ones with great food, something that would satisfy their hunger, properly of course. The thing is, time never allows me to prepare something good and proper nowadays, with me juggling between work and studies, my daily diet has been evolving into, let’s just say, atrocious.

With me spending some precious time in Adelaide, food prepping was a must, purchasing of the best ingredients is also a must must! That said, preparing French/Italian dishes in a country that is not so Asia proved to be much easier as vast ingredients to pair with the dish could be found everywhere. Well, I do my shopping in the central market, 3 times a week. Oh, Saturday marketing is awesome, as the freshest of Salmon arrives then!

Now, back to the food prepping for my lovelies. Since my semester is bridge under water now, I have a tad bit more time in returning to my culinary calling. This time, I decided to prepare something that requires little skills and little time, cooking with Pasta of course.

Having said that, not all Pasta dishes are quick and easy, an exception to this one. The Pasta Aglio e Olio, it is rather simple to prepare, all I needed was:

1. Fettuccine Pasta (I used Spinach based)
2. 5 Garlic Cloves (Chopped)
3. Freshly Chopped Parsley
4. Salt & Pepper
5. Olive Oil

Preparation:

1. Boil the water and add a little salt in it, add in the pasta.
2. Heat up the Olive oil on a pan (medium heat).
3. Sauté the Garlic on the pan until Golden, add in a little salt, remember not to over do this (Caution, put on low heat once the Garlic is on the pan)
4. Cook the Pasta till Al Dente, drain them and transfer it onto a bowl.
5. Stir/Toss the sautéed Garlic and the Pasta (I prefer to do this on the same sauté pan)
6. Toss in the Parsley and Pepper.

That took me 30 mins, prep and cook of course. I included an iPod in it to lift the mood up, with Hed Kandi Beach House playing, life is good.
