The 4P's .....Tagliatelle(Pasta) with Peas, Prawns & Pancetta

My love towards Pasta continues & today I have brought to you the "4P's" for your Friday Supper. It is the Pasta, Peas, Prawns & Pancetta day, this "Fit & Fabulous Friday". And Co-incidentally, My Zumba DVD kit has also arrived and am super excited about it. Just praying to God to give me strong Will power to Survive on Salads , Walks & Zumba workout. I need to remove these lumps of FAT from my body by hook or crook. Its High Time!!

This time I have used Tagliatelle Pasta, the thick flat noodle shaped like Pad Thai. Combined with pink Prawns & Pancetta, with some Green Peas, this dish will never go wrong. This is a Super Easy supper in which you have veggie, sea food & meat combined together to give that yummy flavour yet very healthy. So let's finish cooking quickly in just 20 minutes.!!

Ingredients:
  • 200 gm tagliatelle (or any other shape of pasta)
  • 15-20 tiger prawns
  • 65 gm pancetta cubes
  • 1 cup fresh / frozen peas
  • 2 big cloves of garlic (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • grated parmesan cheese
  • salt & pepper to season
Method:
  1. Cook the Pasta as the per the instructions on the packet. Also add the peas along with the boiling pasta. Drain the water & keep both the pasta & peas aside.
  2. When the Pasta is getting cooked, heat a non stick fry pan & put in the pancetta cubes & prawns together to fry. No oil should be used here as the pancetta will release oil by itself. If the prawns are frozen, make sure it is fully thawed before putting it in the pan or else it will release water. Fry both the prawns & Pancetta until they become light golden.
  3. Remove them from the heat & soak the excess oil with a kitchen towel.
  4. Heat a separate saucepan & pour in 1 tbsp of olive oil. Keep the heat very low. Throw in the chopped garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
  5. Switch off the heat & throw in the Pasta, Prawns & the Pancetta. Season with required salt & a generous amount of pepper. Mix well with a pair of tongs.
  6. Drizzle another tbsp of olive oil & top it off with grated Parmesan cheese while serving it hot.

Hundred Thousand Dollar worth Rava Upma (Indian Semolina Polenta)

Now you must be thinking, who doesn't know to make Rava Upma? What is so special about it? Every 5th person residing in India knows to make it and is a common breakfast item in almost all the Indian household. We Indians take this dish for granted. Well up until a week back, even I thought the same about this dish and looked down on Rava Upma. Not anymore. Last week I read a news about an Indian born, New York Chef Floyd Cardoz who won the top prize of £100,000 in an American show called "Top Chef Masters". No prize for guessing, he made RAVA UPMA!! After reading the article, I immediately decided that the recipe of a basic version of Upma must be on my blog. And here I am sharing the if not a "million dollar", then atleast a "hundred thousand dollar worth Upma Recipe". :) Upma is a popular South Indian Breakfast dish, mainly prepared by Semolina. It has a great resemblance with the Italian Polenta. It can be made with many variations by adding vegeta...

Dahi Vada / Thayir Vada (Lentil fritters soaked in chilled spiced yoghurt)

The name "Dahi Vada" itself makes my mouth drool. The soft, spongy vadas immersed in a chilled spicy, creamy yoghurt just melts in your mouth like an ice-cream. It looks oo like an ice-cream...Kind of Chocolate sauce drizzled over large Vanilla Ice-cream scoops. YUM!! There is so much going on, in a single bite that your taste buds will have an explosion of sweetness, saltiness, spiciness, all at the same time but yet you will be able to tell, what taste is coming from where. For my blogger friends who are not from India, let me tell you what exactly Dahi Vada is. "Dahi" means yoghurt in Hindi & "Vada" is the lentil fritters. These fritters are deep fried & then soaked in a spiced chilled yoghurt & then topped with a sweet chutney or sauce. This is one of the popular accompaniment or a delicacy prepared in an Indian cuisine. Both North & the South Indians prepare this dish but with a slight variation. Some like the yoghurt mo...

Light Lunch - Vegetable Soup

My last few days at Chesterfield, home alone, cherishing all the happy memories of the last 4 years. Spent whole day flipping through the photographs with a hot mug of Coffee relaxing on my recliner. I was in no mood to cook but then getting hungry is human, so I had to visit my kitchen to see what could be made. I decided to go light today so made use of all the remaining veggies (to clear off the fridge) to make a healthy Vegetable Soup. I finished off making a warm, healthy, filling soup for my lunch just within half an hour & went back to my couch only to get more lazy. Sometimes its good when you do nothing at all!! ;) Ingredients: 1/2 of medium cauliflower (cut into florets) 2 medium carrots (peeled & finely diced) 1 cup of fresh or frozen peas 1 medium potato (finely diced) 1 medium onion (finely chopped) 2-3 cloves of garlic (crushed) 25 gm butter salt & pepper to season Method: Melt the butter in a pressure cooker. Now add the crushed garlic & the chopped ...
