Pasta

          There’s nothing tastier than a hot bowl of pasta for dinner especially on a cold weekday .There are many kinds of pasta you can have such as Fettuccine, linguine , asnolottu or a bucatini just to name a few. This week for dinner I decide to have pasta. Pasta is another quick and easy meal not to mention cheap meal to make on a weekday.

 

I love pasta and it’s has been one of the first meals I’ve ever learned to make. At my local grocery store you can purchase various types of pasta for as little as 99 cents. Tomato sauce prices range so you are able to find one within your budget, but be aware the cheaper this tomatoes sauce is can affect the quality and the taste. You will also need cheese, people usually uses parmesan cheese , but I preferred marble, so that’s what I used.

What you will need

• Parmesan cheese (I prefer marble cheese)
• Tomatoe sauce of your choice
• Strainer
•  Water
•  Oven
• Pot and pan

Cooking Pasta Steps

1. Rinse the pasta off , place into pot and fill the pot with water until water has covered the pasta and turn burner on high

2. Allow the pasta to cook , you will notice it is softer to pick up with a fork from the pot, let it cook for approximately 15-20 mins depending on the type of pasta or the instructions from the package

3. Once pasta is almost done add 2 teaspoons of salt

4.Drain the water from the pot by using a strainer , and place pasta into a bowl

 

                  Sauce Instructions

 

1. Take pan and heat the oven to 6, and pour tomato sauce into the pan to heat up

2. You can add additional ingredients to the sauce if you wish ( I cut up onions, green peppers, black peppers)

3.      Stir the tomatoes sauce occasionally and you may want to add water if the sauce is becoming too thick just as little expired

It's Dinner Time - Homemade Pizza

Fast food is pretty amazing in the sense that you wait less than 15 minutes to get your meal and you’re out the store or threw the drive thru. But anyone who’s ever made homemade pizza or tasted it before can definitely agree with me that homemade pizza is definitely worth the time.

This was my first time making my own homemade pizza but I’ve tasted a few, so I had  a good idea on how the finished product should look like smell and taste. I also had some good oll help from YouTube videos.

Hmm hungry yet? If so follow the recipe and instructions below trust me you will not be disappointed or still hungry after this meal.

Step One: Decide if your making your pizza from scratch or store bought this will make a difference in your prepping stage. I made mine from scratch minus the dough because that makes a whole day to make. Once you have your dough you must flatten it to how thick  or thin you would like your crust. I  made mine thin because it takes less time to cook that way.

Step Two: After flattening and creating the shape of your pizza dough ( circle or square) you make your sauce. I made my sauce from tomatoes and a few other herbs listed in my recipe page. You can use that or a good old pizza sauce from your local grocery store, whatever you prefer.

Step Three: Decide on your toppings and what sizes youd like to cut them to be( I cut my toppings pretty small because I didn’t want it to be to heavy on the dough and also for it to cook faster)

Step Four: Now that you’ve done your prepping place your tomato sauce onto the dough (put as much sauce as like on your pizza while using your discretion).

Step Five: I personally place my toppings on first and then the cheese, but you can do it however you feel most comfortable. I place mine under neath because I think it allows the toppings not to fall and I think it looks nicer, but that’s just my preference.

Step Six: place the cheese all over the pizza until it covers all the toppings

Step Seven: place in pre heat oven of 350 degrees and leave it for approximately 15-20 minutes, make sure you check your oven every so oftened though. You can also tell when the edges of your crust have turned a golden brown.
