La Penne di Cavaliere di Baguette ( The Penne Knight of Baguette)
Yesterday my mom and me were at Carrefour hypermarket to search for some food stuffs. Suddenly I saw a loaf of Baguette. So I picked it up. Then my mom asked me to fetch some pastas so I decide to take Fettucine and Penne. On the way back, I was thinking about a new recipe. What I'm going to do with pasta and Baguette? Baguette wrapped with Fettucine? Of course not! Abruptly Penne on top of Baguette crossed in my mind. The main theme is Penne on top of Baguette. What I need now is the sauce. And I remember the Penne at Pizza Hut, it is red in colour, spicy! So now I think of spicy and red sauce. But I will do something different, I would like to create some kind of white sauce or resemble carbonara sauce but spicy. Well, I got an idea how to make that kind of sauce. It's the cayenne! Cayenne gives spicy taste but not the colour. The colour seems to be plain and cheesy but it is actually hot and spicy. Right after I finished my driving test, I decide to cook the dish. Fortunately, my friend, Fakhrullah would like to visit me. It's wonderful! He can help me as a chef assistant. Here it goes the knight of Penne!
La Penne di Cavaliere di Baguette
Ingredients : Penne, cheddar cheese, black pepper, cayenne powder, diced chicken, salt, sugar, bay leaves, and multipurpose flour, diced garlic.
Method: Boil some chicken’s bones to have chicken broths. Then, add some cayenne powder, salt, Bay leaves. Stir it well for a few minutes. After that, Mix the half of the small bowl of flour with hot water and add it into the broth. Boil the penne until it soft. Sautee the garlic until it turn brown and add the black pepper, sugar and salt. Marinate the chicken with black pepper. Then add into the pan and cook with the sauce. Add the penne. Add some cheese and immediately put the chicken aside. Cut your baguette as if you would like to make garlic bread. Spread the baguette with butter and put it in the oven for 5 minutes at 180 Degrees Celcius. Put your penne on the baguette and put the sauce on top. Garnish the dish with parsley on top.
If you are too hungry, you can eat it without the baguette. You'll have limited Penne if you put them on the baguette, maybe you will have 3 to 4 Pennes on top of the baguette. You also can sprinkle some mint leaves as garnishing. This recipe is successful and enjoy it!
