Sour Cream Pasta

Sour Cream Pasta

Another recipe from Ree Drummond.  Saya suka mencuba recipe casserole with lots of cheese. Anak anak saya suka anything with cheese, especially Aiman, and he loves pasta with cheese.

Nama asal recipe ni ialah "Sour Cream Noodle Bake" tapi saya tukarkan menjadi "Sour Cream Pasta", sebab saya tak gunakan egg noodle, tapi saya gantikan dengan Bow Tie Pasta or in italian known as farfalle. Anak bongsu saya, Batrisyia pilih pasta ni.

Some of the ingredients; pasta, sour cream, cream cheese, tomato sauce.... Not in the photo; minced meat, green onion (daun bawang), garam, lada hitam dll....

Masak daging... tak perlu gunakan minyak....

Kacau hingga masak

Masukkan tomato sauce

Kacau...

Tambahkan garam secukup rasa dan lots of freshly ground black pepper. I meant plenty, really plenty of black pepper....

Boleh juga tambahkan chili flake dan italian seasoning, mengikut cita rasa masing masing.

Sementara menunggu meat sauce masak, rebus pasta

Setelah masak, toskan....

Sour cream...

Tambahkan cheese

In the original recipe, Ree used curd cottage cheese. Saya cari di hypermarket, tapi tak jumpa this cheese. Sekiranya tak ada cottage cheese, gantikan dengan ricotta cheese. Ricotta cheese pun tak jumpa, so saya ganti dengan cream cheese. The most important ada cheese....

Kacau rata

Tambahkan dengan plenty of freshly ground black pepper...

Masukkan pasta

Gaul rata

Masukkan daun bawang dan kacau rata

Pasta di bahagi dua...

Masukkan 1 bahagian pasta dalam casserole

Tambahkan dengan separuh dari meat sauce....

Cheddar cheese... pastikan parut sendiri cheddar cheese anda....

Taburkan separuh dari cheese...

Ulang dengan lebihan pasta, meat sauce dan cheese. Bakar di dalam oven dengan suhu 175C selama 20 - 30 minit, atau sehingga cheese melted...

Inilah hasilnya

Yummy...

The verdict: Aiman loves it, Batrisyia kurang menggemari pasta ni, sebab agak masam...

Macaroni Cheese, Bolognese Meat Sauce

Akak, Abang and Adik love anything cheezy, especially lassagna, macaroni & cheese, pizza and anything with cheese.

Saya agak malas nak buat lasagna. Layer and layer of lasagna with cheese, memang sedap, tapi nak buat lasagna ni ambil masa agak lama.... Kalau boleh nak cepat siap, cepat di makan...

Macaroni and cheese pula too cheezy for me.... but not for my children.... So, one day I stumbled into Turkey Pastitsio recipe in one of my cookbook Pasta, Irresistible Recipes for Perfect Pasta  by Linda Fraser. I tried but unfortunately my children prefer lasagna. I baked lasagna with bolognese meat sauce using recipe from the same book and they loved it...

So, I thought, why not I combine these two recipes.... Jadi terhasil lah my version of macaroni cheese and Bolognese Meat Sauce. Paling penting anak2 saya love it. Beginilah hasilnya.....

Baking proces, gambar tak berapa cantik....

Beginilah Macaroni Cheese and Bolognese Meat Sauce, sedia untuk di makan. Anak-anak saya suka cheese yang "garing"...... Eh ada ker cheese yang garing??

Enjoy!!!!!

Di sini saya sertakan recipe Macaroni Cheese and Bolognese Meat Sauce. I have modified the original Bolognese Meat Sauce recipe by Linda Fraser; my recipe is without red wine, pancetta and I used Prego Pasta Sauce instead of canned plum tomatoes.

Selamat mencuba!!!!!
