Twisted Dinner

I find cooking very therapeutic. It helps me clear my mind and only think about cooking a yummy meal. Over the years I've learnt to downsize my portions for one. It's not easy so I tend to freeze my food for quick and easy access. Spaghetti is one my food that I portion and freeze. 1packet can serve me 6-7 portions. I usually make 2 sizes. Small portion(for when I'm not so hungry) and Bigger portion(for days that I could eat a cow). It's easy when you wanna cook and hate the waiting and cleaning up. 

Today was one of the days that I felt like cooking. Visited the supermarket to get Ground Beef to do a mix up of this: 

Not plated in the most presented manner but it was delish!!! Although the combi was a little weird but food is Yumm!! I like the fact that i satisfied my craving for spaghetti and ate some greens, not forgetting cooking a portion for tomorrow's lunch! *satisfied*

Ingredients: Garlic, red onions, spring onions(scallions), frozen cooked prawns, ground beef, pepperoni salami, red wine, Asian greens(salad), egg, avocados & truffle :)) 

It's quite a variety of ingredients but you can store them away and use it again. But basically they were ingredients I had to finish. 
Method:
1. Heat olive oil with chopped onions & spring onions(scallions)
2. When onions have soften, add in the spaghetti, toss till the spaghetti is coated.
3. Push the spaghetti to the side, add the beef, when it is partially cook, mix it altogether. 
4. Add pepperoni salami, prawns and some red wine. 
5. Cover for 30seconds and you are done! Plate up and add your greens if you have. 

Salad: 
I fried an egg cause I was just craving for it. Used the the same frying pan since the pan is already coated with olive oil :) Mum came back and gave me some blueberries and avocados. There you go, my mix and match dinner.
