Pasta Bolognese

Today is the fiesta of our city, Dumaguete. It is a tradition in our family that I'll cook spaghetti. Unfortunately, I'm not a cook. So, what I did was grab my most trusted recipe book and look for a yummy recipe. Well, this really looked yummy. I wonder if it will still look yummy if I'm the one who'll make it, hahahaha. We'll see...

Here's how:

1 pack (400g) Spaghetti, cooked per package directions

200 g bacon, chopped

1/4 kilo ground pork

1 small can sausage, diced

1 medium carrot, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

1 pack (560g) Spaghetti sauce, Italian style +

1 pack (250 g) spaghetti sauce, Italian style

1. Cook bacon until brown. Remove excess fat. Leave behind a part of the bacon fat for cooking the ground pork and sausage. Cook until the meat turns brown. Add carrots and onions. Cook for 15 minutes.

2. Add Spaghetti Sauce , bacon and !/3 tsp. iodized salt. Cook for another 10 minutes. Mix with the cooked spaghetti. Top with grated cheese.

Makes 12 servings.

... so, what do you think? Does this look delicious? hmm... why not try it yourself? ;)

Sans Rival

Today is my mother's birthday. I thought of making something special. When she asked me what we'll have for dessert, I told her maybe I'll make Sans Rival. She said, "that's delicious". I crossed my fingers and started making this one ;))

For butter cream filling:

1 Dari Creme Classic (225g)

1 Minola Margarine Butter Flavor (100g)

2 1/4 cups Confectioner's sugar

1 1/2 tsps. strawberry extract

For base and nuts:

1 pack MY San Honey Graham Crackers (200g)

1 pack baked peanuts (250g), crushed

1.) Do filling: Melt butter and margarine on low heat. Beat until smooth. Add confectioner's sugar and strawberry extract. Beat until creamy and well blended.

2.) Assemble: Spread evenly a handful crushed peanuts on a plastic container. Spread a thick layer on butter cream on top of the peanuts. Arrange and lay the Graham crackers on top of the butter cream layer. Repeat 2 times to make three layers. Make sure to end with the butter cream mixture on top.

3.) Crushed the remaining Graham crackers and spread on top of the Sans Rival. Chill for 30 minutes and enjoy!
