Tagliatelle with Turkey Bacon in Tomato-Cream Sauce

This is such comfort food ... not just for me but for Faris as well... as a treat for falling and scraping his knee yesterday I figured I'll cook him something nice for lunch before he leaves for school....

Recipe for 2 persons

4 bundles of taglitelle boiled in salted water until al-dente (approx 5 mins)



1 onion diced
2 cloves garlic crushed and chopped
2 tablespoon Olive oil
3 rashers of turkey bacon - chopped
3 stalk of spring onions
1 cup of pasta sauce - i used the ones with mushrooms
1/4 cup cream
1 teaspoon black pepper
a pinch of oregano
1 tsp salt - or according to taste
generous shavings of parmesan cheese

Sautee the onions and garlic in olive oil until the onions 'sweat'. Add the chopped bacon and continue sauteeing until the bacon is crispy.

Add pasta sauce and tagliatelle and add the rest of the ingredients and give it a good stir. Lastly add the cream. Mix well. Plate it and sprinkle parmesan.

Oyster Omelette or Or Luak

I usually make per portion so that you can control the taste & crispness..

5 Oysters (frozen ones bought at Sheng Siong) so i soaked in water for awhile until it defrosts.

Batter
3 tablespoon rice flour / tapioca flour mixed with 2 tablespoon of water (as long as you can get a nice thin batter. Add a dash of fish sauce

2 eggs beaten with chopped coriander leaves & spring onion
(according to preference) add a dash of Fish sauce

chopped garlic (optional)

Pour oil onto a pan and drizzle half of the batter.. cook until crispy and pour egg mixture over the top. Cook for a while then flip over. Then 'tear' the mixture a bit and set aside. In the same pan, heat a bit of oil, add the garlic, then pour the oyster and the other half of the batter... Do not overcook the oyster!!

Once you see the oyster is done, pour the cooked egg & batter mixture mixture and stir fry again to mix. Off the fire. Dun worry about the oyster batter if its not crispy because it helps to 'bind' the other mixture together. Serve with more coriander leaves and vinegar chilli

Vinegar chilli

2 tablespoon chilli sauce
2 teaspoon vinegar
2 teaspoon water

Mix the simple chilli together for a refreshing accompaniment to the Or Luak... or serve with sambal.. whichever your preference
