Cheese, Pea & Pancetta Pasta Bake





近来都好像都在做中式料理,忽略了为老公准备他的angmo料理。这个pasta料理想做了很久,就是找不到超大型的pasta贝壳。普通supermarket都只有中小型的贝壳,这个是跑到意大利料理专卖店买才找到的。一定要用大型的才可以把培根,青豆和zucchini酿到贝壳里去。我们有我们的酿豆腐,这大概就是意大利式的酿pasta了!这个酿pasta真的还不赖呢!



Cheese, pea & pancetta pasta bake

Ingredients:

200g pasta shells (large shells)
2 tbs olive oil, plus extra to toss
100g peas
1 large zucchini
50g pancetta/ bacon finely chopped
1 garlic cloves, grated
1 lemon grated zest
180g four cheese mix
200g thickened cream
pinch of nutmeg
¼ cup grated parmesan

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180C and grease a large baking dish.

2. Cook the pasta shells in boiling salted water according to packet instructions until just tender. Drain, then refresh and toss in a little olive oil.

3. Meanwhile, cook peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain and refresh. Coarsely grated the zucchini. Place the zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt then set aside for 10 minutes. Rinse and pat dry.

4. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 2-3 minutes until starting to crisp. Add the garlic, zucchini and lemon zest, then cook for another 2 minutes. Season and cool slightly. Then place in a food processor with the peas and pulse to a coarse paste.

5. Place cheese and cream in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the pasta shells and sprinkle with parmesan.

6. Bake in the oven for 20minutes until golden and bubbling

之前和大家分享做木工的小小经验,但是得之前的做法要用上漆料有些麻烦而且漆料也挺贵的,事后清理也有些麻烦,所以我继续努力找可以取代漆料又可以有好效果的原料来取代。

今天在里又再次和大家分享做木工道具桌面。activity是可以在室内完成,而且也不需要用上漆料。只是用普通画画的Acrylic彩色原料就可以完成了。当然在这里也要介绍一个很特别的原料叫Crackling Medium。它的用意是让颜色干了以后会自然又破裂的的特殊功效,让木看起来有残破distressed的样子。

先把底色扫上。等干了以后,在涂上一层厚厚的cracking medium。再等它干了以后(4小时内),不规则扫上桌面的颜色。这样一来等它完全干了以后,爆裂的部位就隐隐约约可以看到底色了。
