Pasta Arrabiata.

Pasta Arrabiata is a spicy sauce for pasta made from garlic, tomatoes, and red chilli peppers cooked in olive oil. "Arrabbiata" means "angry" in Italian. Arrabiata sauce is usually accompanied with penne pasta and serve hot with Parmigiano cheese, but I have not added the cheese as I'm not a fan of cheese and I think it tasted better without cheese.. Try out the quick and easy dish and enjoy.



Ingredient's.
2tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
5 garlic clove, crushed
1tbsp red chilli flakes 
1 can of chopped tomato or 250gram chopped tomatos
1tsp dried oregano
Salt to taste
200g penne pasta.


Cooking Method.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and chillies. cook for a minute. Then add tomatoes, oregano and salt. Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and cook till all the tomatoes are nicely cooked. that would take about 15 to 20 minutes.


Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water following packet directions, until tender. Drain pasta and set it aside. Now add the pasta to sauce, toss to combine. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes (this allows pasta to absorb sauce).
Spoon into serving bowls and serve hot with some cheese.

Baby Corn Pizza.. (Home-made Pizza)

Baby Corn Pizza.. I had made this pizza for my friends on Monday, they liked it so much and we finished the large pizza in just 5 to 10 minutes. We three were eating like as if we have not eaten pizza for ages. The best part was, one of my friend was not at all allowing me to take the pictures also. I have hardly taken 4 to 5 pictures only. The moment I finished taking pics, she was the first one to jump on it and by seeing her I din't even bother to look at the pics and started eating... Some how the pizza also had come out very very tasty and awesome looking... Making pizza at home is so easy if you have pizza sauce ready and I always make pizza sauce and keep it. So when ever we feel like eating then I just make it. Making pizza at home is healthier then store bought... I want to suggest everyone start baking pizza at home and you'll really enjoy..


Ingredients For The Pizza Base
Makes 1 Large Pizza Base
1/2 cup warm water (100 degrees to 110 degrees)
3tbsp warm milk
1/4 tsp sugar 
1+1/8 tsp active dry yeast
1+1/2cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 tsp salt
2tbsp oil, plus more for bowl.

Ingredient's For The Topping.
Pizza Sauce ( recipe follows)
10 black olives (cut into circles)
1/2cup baby corn, 1 large tomato, 1 medium onion, (thinly sliced)
12 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, (grated).


Ingredients For The Pizza Sauce
Make For 2 Large Pizza
2 tsp oil 
6 large tomato's
3tbsp tomato puree
1tbsp chopped ginger and garlic
3/4 tsp Italian seasoning
3/4 tsp dried oregano 
1 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper.


Directions For The Pizza Base
Pour warm water and milk into a small bowl. Add sugar, and sprinkle in yeast. Using a fork, stir the mixture until yeast is dissolved and water has turned a tan color. Let yeast stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, add flour and salt. Then add yeast mixture and oil. Mix until the dough comes together, adding more flour as needed until dough is smooth, not tacky, when squeezed. Transfer to clean surface; knead for 5 to 10 minutes.

Brush the inside of a medium bowl with oil, and place the dough in the bowl, smooth side up. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, and place in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1hour. Remove plastic wrap, and press your fist into the center of the dough to punch it down. Fold the dough back onto itself four or five times. Turn dough over, folded-side down, cover with plastic wrap, and return to the warm spot to rise again until the dough has doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Punch down the dough, and transfer to a clean surface. Knead the dough four or five turns into a ball. Lightly flour a clean surface, place the dough pat into a flattened circle, cover lightly with plastic wrap, and let rest 5 minutes. Using your fingers, begin to flatten and push the dough evenly out from the center until it measures about 7 to 8 inches in diameter. Do not press the dough all the way to the edges. Leave a slightly raised border, about a half-inch wide, around entire circumference of pizza dough.

In a mean time pre-heat the oven for 20 minutes at 250c. 
Arrange the pizza dough into a circle on top of the baking flat tray. Leaving the raised edge uncovered, pour 8 to 9 tsp of the pizza sauce onto the dough. Using the back of a tablespoon, evenly spread the sauce leaving a half-inch border of dough uncovered. Arrange half of the mozzarella slices on top of the sauce and arrange all the veggie's on top, then cover with left over mozzarella slices.

Bake until the crust is golden brown and crisp on the edges and the bottom, 7 to 8 minutes, turning the pizza halfway through baking. Using a pizza wheel, slice the pizza into eight pieces, and serve immediately.


Directions For The Pizza Sauce
Pour oil into a large skillet, and place over medium heat. Using your hands, squeeze tomatoes to crush them. Add to the warm oil, along with the remaining ingredients. Cook over medium-low heat, breaking up tomatoes with a wooden spoon, until the sauce is thick, 40 to 50 minutes. Allow it to cool and grind it to a smooth paste...
Sauce is ready to use, after using the sauce to pizza you can store the remaining sauce in a fridge for the next time use..
