CNY dinner at our place

had thewanderer over yesterday for dinner with another one of my old friends, KAB.
2 others DGK and WIA could not not make it. WIA is working and DGK is having his wisdom tooth looked at.
Less man, more share….
Thewife cooked spaghetti olio and fried chicken.
we finished 1/2 of the chicken and all the spaghetti.
it was that good.

we sat around talking for a good 2 hours.
always good to just sit back with friends to eat, drink and talk.
theson was very quiet though and very shy.


Spaghetti olio recipe...

This was how I did it the last time...

Not sure how different from thewife's modified method...

Heat olive oil in pan on slow fire with
Chopped up garlic,
Chopped up onions,
Pepper,
Chopped up dried chilli/cilipadi,
Prawns,
Chopped up mushrooms,
Chopped up bacon.

Stir till garlic and bacon are golden brown.
Shut off fire and cook spaghetti.
Boil spaghetti with a pinch or two of salt..
Once spaghetti is nearly ready, restart fire on pan.
Drain spaghetti and mix with the stuff in the pan on slow fire.
Toss for a minute or two and make sure they are mixed well.

Note:
You need to estimate enough olive oil to coat your spaghetti...
Too much oil and it too oily, too little oil and its too bland..
I normally cook more spaghetti and keep adding to the pan till its just right.
