忌廉湯餐肉螺絲粉 Fusilli Pasta with Spam in Cream of Chicken


Pasta 有好多種, 有粗有幼, 有通心嘅, 有螺絲形, 蝴蝶形, 貝殼形 etc. 有人問我, 點解 d 意大利人將 d pasta 整成咁多種唔同形狀唔同大細嘅? 我諗唔同形狀大細嘅 pasta 有唔同口感, 用來配合唔同醬汁同食材. 螺絲粉叫 Fusilli. 意大利人話 pasta 係佢地發明, 但亦有人相信呢 d 麵條, 早喺於公元一二七幾年係馬可勃羅帶入意大利嘅. 意大利有個 Museum of Pasta 位於羅馬, 都幾 interesting. 有機會去羅馬自由行就去 Museum of Pasta 睇睇!

蟹肉火腿釀蘑菇 Stuffed Mushrooms with Crab and Ham


我的至愛 - 蟹肉火腿釀蘑菇!!!~ ;D
以前去 J.J. Cafe 都會叫黎食. 出去外面叫蟹肉火腿釀蘑菇都幾唔抵食架. 價錢同你叫個燴飯差唔多, 但係食唔飽人嘅. 自己整其實超容易, 只要將 d 蟹柳 & 火腿切細細粒再撈埋奇妙醬放到菇菇上攞去焗爐焗就得架喇.

做法:
1. 蘑菇去蒂, 用掃掃乾淨, 用清水略沖。
2. 蟹柳、火腿切微粒, 放碗中加少許 bacon bits & 奇妙醬撈匀。
3. 把蟹柳火腿混合物釀入蘑菇中, 放已掃油焗盤上, 再加少許 grated cheddar cheese。
4. 放入已預熱的焗爐用 350˚F 焗十五分鐘左右. 再用高溫 broil 兩分鐘即成。

備註:
- 蘑菇唔好用水浸黎洗, 因為菇菇好索水架. 用個掃掃下佢再用水沖一沖就得架喇~


Ingredients:
mushrooms
imitation crab meat
ham
bacon bits
grated cheddar cheese
miracle whip

Directions:
* Remove stems from mushrooms, use a brush to swipe the mushrooms clean and roughly rinse with water.
