Italian Shell Pasta anyone??

OMG... it has only been a few days and there are so many backlog blog post! But i guess that means that life has been pretty happening for me eh =)

Finally mustered up all the 'energy' that i have to cook the Shell Pasta that Wifey and i  bought from MEIDI-YA.

Most of you would have probably seen these HUGE ASS SHELL PASTAS from Xiaxue's blog, if you havn't you can check out her recipe by clicking here. We referenced off her recipe to cook our shell pasta too^^ and it turned out pretty good!




These are the basic ingredients for the recipe. And it is really simple to do!


In Xiaxue's recipe, she used lobster tails. But in our case, we used prawns instead. Primarily because these are the results of my prawning session with my colleague quite some time ago. And this would probably be the best occasion to cook them.


Boil the pasta to Al Dante (obviously... lolxxx), and take them out to cool a little bit before we stuff the fillings into these pastas.


Next, just stir fry the baby spinach with olive oil and garlic. I thought that this amount of baby spinach was a lot, but nope... its actually quite little considering that you still have to stuff them into the pasta. You should see Xiaxue's pasta, i believe it would taste nicer if we added more spinach into the stuffing then just aim to have more meat!


Just add the stir fried baby spinach together with the feta cheese and mix well.


As i have already cooked the prawns to about 70% and the crab sticks are all technically 'pre-cooked', i start mixing them all up with the baby spinach and feta cheese. Since we are going to oven bake them later, it's okay to mix them all up even though they are not totally cooked yet.


Next, its time to stuff them all up with our delicious stuffings!


The sauce is very easy to make. Its basically a pre-made sauce that you find in most NTUs's


This is the end result of baking them for another 15 minutes at 180 degrees celcius. They taste superb! Best pasta i ever made hahaha^^

To spice up our dinner, we also had the cream of mushroom soup which we bought from mmmm! at Changi City Point.


Their mushroom soup sold at mmmm! is really good! in fact, i think that it is kinda better than the one sold at Fassler^^


Check out our lovely meal!!! Its totally super delicious, although,

You have GOT TO TRY! The Cream of Mushroom soup is a MUST BUY! it is so tasty and absolutely heavenly!

That's all for now. Till my next blacklog post =X
