I'm a June baby and this month is always special to me ♥
I have been receiving daily presents from my husband and today I decided to surprise him instead.. I told him I'll be preparing something so he won't buy anything outside.
As y'all know, I'm a pasta lover. I've been experimenting sauce for my pasta; ever since I uncovered this passion of mine with cooking... and so far (I think?) I'm doing good with it. I mostly like oil-based and pesto's (but) my husband has this thing with red and tomato sauce. Don't get me wrong, I love all types of sauce, it's just that if I'll be giving a rate to each type, I'll picked the oil-based as my top 1... and the least? creamy sauce...
But for today's dish... I'll be making my least favorite... Cream based Pasta.

Spaghetti Cooking Instructions:
Cook spaghetti in 1 L of boiling water. Add salt and oil. Stir occasionally and cook until tender. Drain well and set aside. Once it cool down, drizzle with olive oil.
Sauce:
1. Heat a deep wok and drizzle it with olive oil. Then, fry the shrimp first and set aside once cooked.
2. Next will be the sliced whole mushroom. Again, set it aside.
3. Next, fry and crisp the sliced bacon. Then, set aside as well once cooked.
4. Saute garlic in butter. Then,
5. Add chopped chicken breast. Once brown, add the mushroom.
6. Add 2 cans of Tuna Flakes in Oil. Simmer until it boils.
Then,
7. Add Shrimp Broth and simmer for 5 minutes.
8. Add salt, pepper, chili and garlic powder. Let boil again for another 2-3 minutes.
9. Add all purpose cream and stir until all ingredients mixed well. Then,
10. Prepare your finely chopped parsley and add it to the mixture.
Adding the veges beforehand will extract it's juice and adds up flavor to the sauce.
11. Then, add the shrimp and
bacon.
Let boil for another 2 minutes then add
grated cheese and
evaporated milk.
Again, let boil for a minute or two.
Stir gently just to make sure that the sauce will not stick to the bottom of the wok.
Taste the sauce and adjust the flavor to your liking.

While cooking the sauce, I heated up the grilling pan as well. Added a spoonful of olive oil and once it's hot enough, I laid the chicken to cook.

I prepared a tropical cocktail to go along with the dish.
It's just a powdered juice mixture and I only added a fresh grape fruit and squeeze a lemon.
6 pcs Grapes
2 slices of Lemon
So, here's our dinner... served with L♥ve!
It's my turn to surprise him this time... (and just this day for the whole month haha)
I hope you can try this dish too..
Enjoy and remember, food prepared at home is always the best ♥
