Easy Pasta

I've got almost the whole Saturday to myself as Ric was busy with work - yes, up to his ears.

Washing, cleaning, gardening, reading, tele-viewing and cooking. A repeat telecasts program of the benefits of eating Garlic showed up as i was channel-surfing.

Highlighting its beneficial effect of relieving the body from fatigue, treatment of disease and maintenance of health. Dates back to ancient civilization of Egypt, Garlic was a "performance enhancing" agent feed to slaves for the building of the pyramids.

And with mum craving for spaghetti noodles, i had immediately images of creating the dish with loads of chopped Garlic and Basil leaves from our garden.

2 balls of Garlic and 2 steams of Basil leave feed 3 persons. Simple 3 cooking steps (low heat):

1. Frying a Shallot and the bowl of Garlic till it slightly browned.

2. Add the minced Basil leaves to the cooked garlic and cook slightly.

3. Toss the cooked Spaghetti noodles with the aromatic mix.

The whole kitchen was smoldered with the full aroma of the Garlic and Basil leave. Mum enjoyed the dish and claim it's my best spaghetti cooking so far. Haha...

Try to prepare this simple and healthy dish for your busy loved ones, who may need this extra energy boosting food.
