Prawn Penne Pleasure

Im inspired to eat in tonight.

Was at moo's last night to pass her something and was treated to another one of her sumptuos home cooked pasta dinners. Inspired ( and I must admit, just a little sick of eating the food outside ) I scratched my home cooked dinner itch by whippin up a simple pasta dinner !

Ofcourse cooking is more fun if i take lotsa pics along the way hee hee..

First we assemble the fresh ingredients!

1 small head of brocolli , 1 red bell pepper , cloves of fresh peeled garlic ( guppies love garlic )

chopped , sliced and diced...

fresh button mushrooms, 1 can el cheapo pasta sauce, 1 cup penne pasta

Fresh prawns, peeled, deveined and seasoned with cracled black peper, sea salt .

discovered i ran out of olive oil..so used olive spread instead :P

ah found a half drunk bottle of el cheapo red in the fridge, shall use this to cook the sauce and pair it with the pasta later

And now we begin cookin! throw in the penne pasta into a pot of boiling salted water..
after its cooked, drain the water and set aside... in another heated fry pan, fry the chopped garlic and brocoli, release the aroma of the delish garlic hee heethen the red capsicum/ bell pepper ...stir stir stirthen the sliced mushrooms

When i threw in the peeled prawns...it was starting to look like a possible delicious chinese stir fry HAHAHAHAH....

yes i toyed with the idea to toss in some oyster sauce and sesame oil...then dropped the idea and picked up the pasta sauce instead :P

toss in the el cheapo canned pasta sauce...a splash of shiraz to taste ...mmmmmm

Toss in the cooked penne...stir it a few more times...Dress with a slice of garlic bread...and TADA! THE PASTA IS READY TO BE EATEN!!!

Light a candle. set up a dinner date .. VOILA!! a yummy delicious home cooked pasta din din!

teddy sez : yum!

Yep yep yep...nuthin like chillin at home with a home cooked pasta meal washed down with some left over shiraz.. while i enjoy viewing my happie babies swimmin about as I muse over the little happenings in my life this month....blisss!
