Tasty Pasta

I just made this:

Equal amounts of raw cashews and fresh tomatoes. Don;t be skimpy on the tomoatoes, you've got to get good ones.

Whizz the cashews first until they are all smooth.
Add the tomatoes (chopped) and whizz.
Fry up some garlic (as much as you like) and put it in. Whizz.
Add salt and pepper, maybe a little bit of oil.
You can add tomato paste as well if you like but I usually don't.

Have it on pasta.

I am currently eating mine with avocado and I have had it with cheese before.
I think I might try ot with sundried tomatoes one time. And maybe some raw garlic as well.

Enjoy.

Obsessive Compulsive Risotto

THIS is my current obsesion!

roast or fry up pumkin, garlic, sweet potatoe, olive oil, rosemary, some herbamare and nutmeg

in another pot fry up more garlic and shallots then add some risotto rice, fry for a bit then add dash of white wine- reduce
add veggie stock- reduce

do this a few times then mash and add the pumkin mix.

add some nutritional yeast

serve on a bed of rocket- this is a must!

OH MY GOD! did you just orgasm over that? because I do! its so amazing!

Laksa Wego style

Laksa Paist:
lemon grass
galangal
tumeric
ginger
chillie
shallots

wizz all up o food processor with olive oil

cook the paist till aromatic (this is what Ive been told) then add coconut cream!!!!
as well as what vegies you desire- I suggest:

broccoli
snow peas
carrot
bok choi
(all to be added last)

potatoe
eggplant
(to be fried with paist first

and dont forget the noodles!!!

Twina made this reaaaly reaaaaaly yummy dish tonight- from an actual food website- I think its http://www.taste.com.au just to reference correctly.

The only thing she did differently with it is put in a can of chick pea's.. if you ask me I think that Hallumi would go splendid in this!


Ingredients (serves 4)

* 500g fresh potato gnocchi
* 1 cup light thickened cream
* 1/4 cup sun-dried tomato pesto
* 150g chargrilled capsicum, finely chopped
* 150g baby spinach
* 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Method

1. Cook gnocchi in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water, following packet directions, until tender. Drain. Preheat grill on medium-high.
2. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add cream and pesto. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add capsicum and spinach. Cook for 1 minute or until spinach has just wilted.
3. Add gnocchi to cream mixture. Toss to combine. Transfer to a greased 6cm-deep, 8 cup-capacity baking dish. Top with cheese. Cook under grill for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden.
