Savoury

Okay, I gotta admit that these two young ladies have really got me going in all directions! I’ve often scoffed at the idea of masala pasta – cringed at those ready masala pasta packets in the store aisles, but last week I began to ask – what was so horrendous about it? I mustn’t pull faces at any kind of food. There’s grain, sauce, seasonings – but it’s just that I am so conditioned to see authentic as is – a pasta must be Italian and nothing else. Well, I must change this, and perhaps this is my stepping stone.

I used the delicious SpiceQure Immunity Booster powder with quinoa pasta, with a milk base-sauce. The sauce just lightly coats the penne and tastes just delicious, even without cheese. But in my books, cheese is always a good idea!

I have always been the biggest fan of cinnamon rolls for special occasions, but my general cravings are usually for cheese-y salty, garlicky decadence. and bread is a forever love affair. so this recipe is adapted from one of my original cinnamon roll recipes, but a tad bit sturdier to hold the heavier wet filling these will fly off the cooling rack faster than you can say kitchen therapy!

Leek Mac + Cheese

This is a meal I make often just for myself. I love mac+cheese and it is very much a part of my dinner roster menu. I love mixing it up with various ingredients, but the one I love the most is adding lot's of sautéed leeks which adds such intense flavour and I still feel I have eaten my greens (pls no, don't believe me, this amount is not enough, pls add a green soup on the side!) This recipe mentions macaroni, but I use whatever pasta I have and I am partial to spaghetti at times!

Savoury Potato Cake

A mashed potato cake is a dreamer's paradise. I found an Italian nonna's recipe for a mashed potato bake layered with ham and cheese, baked into a crusty glory - and I had to try it instantly. Of course, I had to add my version with a layer of colourful vegetables in the center and so here we have a baked savoury potato cake! And maybe one day, this version will be Kamini nonna's recipe for my grandchildren ;)
