Pasta meals any one :D:D

I know all the foodies who like little bit of my cooking must be upset with me as I have not posted any food recipe since long.It is not my fault though .There is nothing like "maa ke haath ka khaana":D :D. I ate so much at my mom's place that at one point of time I thought I will burst :P .Hubby  kept saying  "I hope you are not eating much there because later on you will crib."(Actually he was jealous because I was getting to eat best food and he was surviving on bread and butter here :D)

I guess there will be no house who won't have dry fruits on Diwali. I came back with some 2-3 kgs of dry fruits myself and therefore making Pasta with walnut was something which I was longing to do.Recipe is pretty simple and it will take just 15 minutes in making it.If you want to include nuts in your food then this pasta recipe can be of considered.




Here goes my pasta recipe with walnuts

Serves - 2-3 adults

4-5 garlic cloves diced
2 chopped red chilli
Bread crumbs of 2 large breads .(I used brown bread.You can use white bread too)
2-3 tbsp of chopped walnuts.
5-6 soft spinach finely chopped(Take fresh leaves for best taste.You can blanch them for 2 minutes to soften them up)
2- 3 tbsp Olive oil (Use Olive oil and no other oil for this.It brings special taste to pasta)

Method and Preparation:-

Step1-  Boil spaghetti as mentioned on the packet drain and keep it aside.
Step 2- Take a heavy sauce pan and add 1tbsp. of olive oil in it.Throw in chopped garlic,  red chilli and cook it  on slow flame for 1 -2 minute.
Step3 - Add bread crumbs , walnuts and saute both of them for 5 minutes on slow flame.
Step4 - When bread crumbs turns crispy add pasta , spinach and rest of the olive oil.
Step5 -Cover the pan for a minute so that all things gets wilted and pasta gets heated too.
Step6 - Add  some sea salt according to your taste and freshly ground black pepper.(You can use normal salt and pepper powder too but if you use sea salt and fresh pepper it tastes heavenly )

I am very much found of lip glosses because that's the only make up product I use. After trying many so many lip glosses I thought of trying lip stain and I tried the body shop lip stain.


I feel this is the best product I have come across I just love this lip stain and  this is not only a lip stain but also a cheek stain so you really don't have to bother  for  a separate blush , as this product gives you a healthy glow on cheeks and  hydrated lips. I bought the rose pink shade .

What the product claims -For a natural looking just blushed glow to the cheeks or just bitten in to a strawberry lips this double -duty product is a must have for the make-up bag. The more you sweep it on, the deeper it gets.

I was thinking of  doing checkered nail art in black and white today and ended up doing this.Best part of doing nail art is you can just go on and on with your wild creative mind and you have a new and a unique design ready in front of you.

It is quiet simple.I just painted my nail with a black nail polish and  drew vertical and horizontal lines on my  nails with a blue brush. Afterwards I made  these tiny flowers yellow nail paints.


Done

This is going to the Wise She Nail art gallery  

I got these cute open basket from dollar store Delhi to store my nail polish. Now finding nail polish is quiet easy for me.


Before this I was using this box to store my nail polishes.I had to open the box every time I use the nail polish.As the box was not broad finding the desired shade was always a problem but with this basket storage I got no problems at all.After using the nail polish I keep them in my almirah so that no dust settle on them.



Mitra wanted to see the nail art pen and brush.This is what I use in my nail art tutorials.I got 4-5 of them from a  near by store.One nail art pen is just of Rs 50.I was not able to find  good quality pens so what I did is empty the pen and added good quality nail paint in it.




It has a thin brush and a dot pen too with it.







Works for me   

How do you store your nail polishes?
