Food in Process: Spaghetti

One of my favorite childhood food is: spaghetti. I mean
who doesn't like to suck up the noodle strings and leaving
a messy snout behind? This Italian indulgent is so versatile
such as the classical bolognese and the creamy carbonara
sauce.

But my all time favorite is spaghetti in solid tomato sauce with
subtle herbs. And cheese on top! Some people like to
 add the sauce at the very end and some like to mix the sauce
while they cook the spaghetti. I prefer the last one. I also
like to eat spaghetti with lots of pepper... mhmm

This post sure is packed with the word spaghetti. Maybe because
I'm hungry at the moment. Anyway! My simple way of making
spaghetti with tomato sauce, shrimps and cheese!


Da Recipe 4 servings: 1 pack spaghetti, 1 jar/can your favorite tomato sauce, 1 pack/can diced tomatoes, 1 tsp. chopped garlic, 250gr shrimps1 diced onion, grated cheese, salt & pepper, soy sauce + 1 tbsp. starch (shrimp seasoning) 

Removing veins and peeling off skin is pain in the butt to do. 


Da Steps: 

1. Season the shrimps by adding pepper, soy sauce and starch. Mix well and set aside. 

2. Cook the spaghetti according to the packaging. Let it drain in a pasta strainer. 

3. Heat pan with oil and add the chopped garlic and onions. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and bring it to the boil.
4. Reduce heat and let it cook for 5 minutes. Keep stirring! 
5. Before adding the shrimps, rinse and pat-dry the shrimps first. Add to the sauce. 

6. Add the spaghetti and stir and mix well until all sauces are combined. 
7. Add salt and pepper to adjust the flavor. 

8. Serve it in a deep plate. Sprinkle grated cheese on top. And enjoy!

Good luck!

DIY: miniature strawberries

Thank you so much for your sweet and empowering
comments!! Makes me want to cry again haha.. And
you are right, don't let someone destroy your dreams.

So here it is; a tutorial of making miniature strawberries.
They were really fun to make and so easy! Recently I've
been making all kind of miniature fruit such as lemon,
apples and tangerine!

Tonight is Eurovision Song Contest the final, all contestants
from EU countries are battling tonight including Holland!
It's been 9 years since Holland made it to the final so I
find it pretty special. Good luck to our Anouk and her
song 'Birds'!

Unglazed handful of strawberries. 


I've been wearing them for weeks now!
