Angel's hair Aglio



Makes 1 serving

Parsley etc

  1. Bring Angel's hair to cook over a pot of water. Note that Angel's hair is very fine thus, cooking time will be much shorter than the usual spaghetti and linguine.

  3. Stir the cooked Angel's hair into the mixture and blend well. Add in the chicken stock and allow to simmer for 1min.

  4. Add in the diced sausages and crabsticks, stir throughly and add in the salt for seasoning.

  5. Simmer for another 30 seconds and sprinkle the herbs on top. Ready to serve.






My Royal Prince Charming detest Angel hair so much that he protest against me of doing any pasta recipe with it. Well, he says it taste like Somen?

I had this 1/4 pack of Angel's hair left from the last time I cooked a Tomato based pasta for my colleagues. It's going to expire soon and I know I'm definitely not going to throw it away. Trying my best not to waste any food you know =)

Anyway, I ain't a fussy eater like my Royal Prince Charming. I done up this Angel's hair Aglio for my bento tomorrow. Though I would much prefer a tomato based pasta, I do not want to make myself busy with the washing up. It's always hard to get the bento box real clean if you are cleaning it in the office. Though using lots of detergent, it just gives me a feeling that it is not that clean after all. I always make very sure that all my cutlery and utensils in my household are sparking clean. Well-trained by my mummy I guessed. LOL.

Hey Mrs Kwok, Thanks for the info on cook books. Got any good buys tell me!! Hee :D

Wow, seems like you have been cooking alot. Thumbs up for you!

For pasta, I actually like those olio Aglio (not sure of the spelling :P) whenever I dined outside. I like the olive oil with garlic taste. :) Is this how they are cooked? But they seemed to have put cheese hor? :)

Hey Aimei,

Yah, recently very enthu lah. Hahaha! I actually made this Angel's Hair Aglio based on my personal "Feeling".

I think for Olio Aglio, they dont seems to apply any cheese onto it. Maybe some of the pasta cafes do but I got myself a 500 pasta book from Popular and they did mention that it is not recommended to add any cheese onto it.

They did says that Olio Aglio is purely cooking pasta noodles in oil with garlics ;)

Olio = Oil
Aglio = Garlic

Hehe~ Go grab this book now! Popular selling it for $12+ only! Coloured printed page somemore! Aiyoo, I very auntie hor :P
