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.

Anniversary & Pouring Awards with Pista Kulfi

Took a break from blog & cooking for a couple of days as I was in a mood to celebrate!! That's right, Arun and I celebrated our 4 years of married life on 10th June. Phew, time truly flies in just a snap!! (Below is our wedding snap, a perfect South Indian Wedding shot...please don't laugh at it.;). So I was in no mood to cook that day & told Arun that the meals of the day will be either frozen, take away or a dine out. He preferred the third one. ;) So we went to one of our favourite food joints {Did I tell you, that we live in a place called Chesterfield, a Historic Market Town in UK & don't have much choices around here ;)}, "Frankie & Benny's."My god, we both die for those thin crust Italian Pizzas & the cheesy gar(lick)y bread which melts in your mouth like a candy floss...Aah! Now, I have to tell you what we ordered, because it was that good. ;) For starters, we ordered their famous garlic bread with crispy coated chicken ...

Naankhatai

Naankhatai is to India as S hortbread is to Scotland,    Naankhatai is an Indian shortbread (originally brought by the Iranians to India) quite similar to a Scottish shortbread but only more soft, more crumbly and more delicious. I like to call them the "Indian white Bakery biscuits" because I have always seen them stored in those big cookie jars in front of the bakery till counters. For me, these white dome shaped cookies always stood out from the other cookies.  This 3 ingredients cookie is super easy to bake plus there are no eggs involved so Hello Vegetarians!! One can always experiment with a combination of flours (gram flour, corn flour, semolina, etc) but being me I went for the most tastiest and a slightly unhealthy version of using only refined flour. Do try any version you like but do not forget to dunk these melt in the mouth cookies in  your masala chai and go mmmmm....:) Happy Baking!!   Ingredients: 1 cup all purpose flour 1/2 cup butt...

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...
