Aglio Olio Fettucine with Seafood........

It’s been a while since I did a recipe and cooking post kannn. Last Tuesday, I cooked Aglio Olio Fettucine for the girls......& aunty whimsy........ The pasta actually turned out very good. I always like Fettucine..........macam kue tiaw kannnn, & If you love garlic, you will love this recipe. It's quick and easy to make!!!!

Cook pasta al dente......(mesti sebut macam Nigella okkkk)
Put the olive oil, butter and the garlic (4-5 cloves) in a large skillet over a medium heat.
When the garlic begins to change color add the seafood.
Stir well and remove from heat.
When the pasta is cooked, return the skillet to a low heat.
Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet, then u can add mixed herbs, freshly ground blackpepper, fresh parsley chopped finely (kalau ada lahh ok), parmesan cheese & sedikit paprika!......if ada chilli flakes lagi bagus.........
Toss until the pasta is well coated with sauce.
Serve at once with freshly grated cheese & olive oil chillies.........Serve hot ok!

The other day I was in the mood for some comfort food & decided to make a whole roasted chicken.......stuffed with aromatics & roasted on a bed of veggies.........

Sorry you guys....no measurements........ikut suka hati, mau banyak or kurang.....ok....one whole chicken, fresh rosemary leaves, potatoes, carrots, lemon, celery (in my case.....terlupa mau beli), garlic, big onions, butter, olive oil, salt & pepper to taste. The preparations.........smear some olive oil & butter to the chicken, sprinkle it with a little salt & pepper, & stuff with lemon & fresh rosemary. Scatter the chopped veggies, garlic & big onions in the roasting pan and then set the chicken on top. Roast them for about 45min to 1 hour.
To make the gravy.......remove from oven and place the chicken, carrots & potatoes on a serving platter. Add flour and stirring constantly, cook for about 2-3 minutes. You guys can pour in some "arak" if you want to....wink* wink*......and let it simmer. After that, I blend my gravy!
