Spaghetti with Cherry Tomatoes & Prawns

by Che-Cheh on December 7, 2013 162 views

Remember my love affair with spaghetti? This is my continuation of love calling for the world famous pasta! Apologies for the picture quality. I took them under florescent light at night hence the not so good looking photos. Made this spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and prawns for my family on the weekend and they all loved it. This recipe is adapted from Salt To Taste cookbook by Marco Canora. His recipe is called spaghetti with cherry tomatoes sauce. Since I didn’t have that many cherry tomatoes at that time, I cheated and uses a little bit of canned tomato puree. :P I also added some prawns to it. Hope y’all like this new recipe!

Love it!

Sesame Tuiles

in Cookies, French

Tuiles means tiles in French according to Wiki because they looks like Provence roof tiles which is curved. Tuiles are thin crispy cookies. I’ve made almond tuiles years back and although I wouldn’t consider it a success because the wafer were quite thick, I remember it being delicious. Now making this sesame tuiles has left me in disbelief because the book I’m following is from a renowned pattisier. Read my failed sesame tuiles experiment here. Thank God it was easy to right the wrong and soon I was baking these aromatic tuiles.

All I can say is yum-yum. :)
