Leftover pasta is one of the world’s least appetizing leftovers. It never tastes as good the next day, and it’s hard to transform it into a delicious new dish. However, one creative and tasty way to make use of it is to put it in a frittata! Although it may sound gross — I was a skeptic at first — leftover spaghetti is an excellent filling for frittata. When cooked with eggs, the pasta simply tastes starchy and similar to potatoes. Read on to learn how to make a leftover pasta frittata. Continue reading→

PASTA MET KAASKRULLE
Ek het hierdie resep 2 weke gelede vir die 1ste keer gemaak; ek kan nie onthou waar ek hom opgespoor het nie, glo my, toe ons weer sien, toe is daar niks oor daarvan nie!
1 pak pasta van jou keuse
1 liter melk
1 groot pak kaaskrulle
Sout en peper
òf 1 blikkie tuna, òf spek, òf maalvleis, òf dit waarvoor jy ook al lus is om by te voeg. Continue reading→

Ingredients:
For the Sauce:
3 cups grated cheese
2 ¼ cups milk
3 cloves of garlic chopped finely
3 tbsp flour
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp dried parsley
½ tsp red pepper flakes
¼ tsp ground black pepper
½ tbsp salt

For the Pasta:
1 package pasta
1 tsp oil
1 tsp salt

Cooking directions:
1. Boil water in a large pot. Add in the pasta to the boiling water. Allow for about 12-13 minutes for the pasta to cook. Add in a little bit of oil and a pinch of salt so that the pasta does not stick together while it is cooking.

2. Heat olive oil on a medium heat in a deep pan. Add garlic and sauté to the pan for about 2 minutes. Add in to the pan: the milk, parsley, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes prior to adding flour. Stir the ingredients for a minute and add flour. Stir constantly and thoroughly so that the flour does not end in lumps. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens slightly. Tip: If you get lumps, you could use hand mixer to soften

3. Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Drain the pasta and pour the white sauce over the pasta and mix. Tip: You could put one cup of grated cheese inside the source as well and mix with together for that extra cheesy flavour!

4. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on top of the pasta and bake for 25/30 minutes or until the top of the pasta starts to take a brownish colour.

5. Take the pasta out of the oven and serve warm… Enjoy!
