Fish head "mee hoon"

I'm so blessed that I do not have to cook during week ends. It's either we eat out, or hubby will prepare something simple but special for us!!

So here goes..... the supposed to be clay pot fish head "mee hoon" served in "Ming Room", Bangsa!!

Pasta

This is an extremely easy recipe. Best still, it's really healthy food! The recipe is from "The Marks & Spencer Essentials Collection". They have simple and delicious easy-to-make pasta sauce recipes.

The sauce I prepared here is raw tomato sauce with olive oil, garlic and basil with ham and prawn. Yummy yummy.

Ingredients for the sauce:

500gm large, ripe tomatoes, peeled, de-seeded and diced.
125ml extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, chopped very finely
large handful fresh basil leaves, shredded
3 tbsp chopped fresh oregano or marjoram
salt and pepper
450gm dried conchiglie

Combine the tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, basil and oregano in a bowl that is large enough to eventually accommodate the cooked pasta.

Season generously with salt and pepper. Cover the bowl with Clingfilm and leave to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until cooked. Drain thoroughly and immediately add to the tomatoes.

Toss well to mix, ready to serve!

As you can see from the pictures, the 1st picture is served with grilled chicken. The 2nd and 3rd pictures, served with prawns and ham.

Note: The skin of the tomatoes can be easily peeled by putting the tomatoes in a bowl of boiling water and leave to stand for about 5 to 10 minutes.
