Healthy italian

Quick sauce called PESTO. Rich in texture of green basil. You can use any types of pasta. A quick 2 minutes dish surely will impress your guest. Love it. all you need for your fresh pesto are:

toasted Pine nuts. (Best toast in a wok without any oil until lightly brown)

Fresh Basil leaves.

Parmigiana {Parmesan}. Blitz them all at once. with Some Garlic!!

A little bit extravagant here, Black Truffles. A unique fungus that grows below ground with pungent smell dan garlicky flavour. It is well used by great chefs and you can find them serve mostly in big restaurants and definitely michelin starred restaurants. It is rare and grow by itself. The one thing is in fact it's undesirable appearrance. Pooo :)

The word Truffle in my country would be 'Chocolate truffles'. You know, chocolate truffles :). I guess we were never told where the word 'truffle' actually comes from. A fresh truffle will still has its flavour and aroma. If you happen to order one from a restaurant and its tasteless, Return it back and ask for really Fresh truffles.

Souffle. My properly baked Souffle. Just chocolate.

This is wondeful. as i thought Zaed and us are going to leave the house for holidays, I made some light simple dish yet very earthy and quite not so filling.

Courgette Tagliatelle with chicken basil spinach.

Good bye 2006 and a happy new year. I'll come back, hopefully i got very interesting pictures to show from Milan.
