A hearty meal..

I ganti puasa yesterday and baked this for Iftar. It was really delicious, I'm telling ya. Well, you can confirm with my anak-anak buah, Umar, Uzair and Sarah as they gobbled up everything in split second (to the extend that their Umi takde can nak makan!).

This is my version of making a simple Creamy Baked Macaroni.

1) Cook 1 packet of pasta of your choice until al dante

2) In a big pot, saute 1 whole bombay onion and after that add 500gm of minced meat. Lower the heat and cover the pot

3) After 30 minutes or once the meat is tender, add in 1 whole of diced fresh tomato and 1 can of button mushroom. Cook for another 10 minutes

4) Add in 1 can of instant spaghetti sauce

5) Add oregano and fresh thyme to the gravy. Seasoned with salt and pepper

6) For the cream sauce (whatever you call it), put 4 table spoons of butter in a pan and wait until it melt. 

7) Then add 4 table spoon of flour and stir with a balloon whisk to make roux. 

8) Subsequently, put in 4 cups of fresh milk.

9) Once it is thicken, add in 4 slices of cheddar cheese and season with salt

10) Put the macaroni into an oven proof casserole dish. Cover the macaroni with the creamy sauce and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese has melt. 


p/s I prefer an aluminium foil dish as my oven is small and cannot handle a heavy container. 

Enjoy!
