Cheezy Spirals

Cheezy Spirals... by Me!

The other night, a couple of months ago, I had to prepare my lunchbox for the next day... And so I checked my fridge and food cabinet to see if there are any ingredients for me to get rid of before they go rotten.

Tomatoes... Half onion... Half avocado... Oh, and that last bit of bacon in the freezer!

So I thought I'd try to make something out of random ingredients.. And it turned out so good (not weird at all, I promise!) .. It's so good that SF claimed it's "his favorite food" now, and trust me, his food standard is very, very high.


Ingredients:
– Half tomato, cubed
– Half avocado (optional), cubed
– 1 strip bacon (or a little more if you love bacon), cut into pieces
– 1/4 onion, chopped into slices
– 2 1/2 cups rotini (spiral pasta)
– 3 tablespoon Cheese (those that you'd use for pizza topping)
– 1 teaspoon oil
– Water


Seasoning:
– Mayonaise (preferably Japanese style)


Method:
– Fill sauce pan with water and add in the oil.
– Add rotini when water boils.
– Drain rotini, put aside.
– Place bacon in (the same) sauce pan and sauté in medium fire until cooked.
– Add in tomato, avocado and onions and switch to low fire. Sauté for a minute.
– Add in pasta, followed by cheese. Mix everything well.
– Serve hot (or at room temperature) with mayonaise.


This recipe is pretty economical and quick to make if you have to rush for 8 assignments in the next few weeks!
