When I tried to cook pasta the other night, I realised I didn’t have any tomatoes, not even canned ones that I always make sure I have in my pantry. Disappointed, I thought hard for a moment and remembered a recipe on a cooking show that had a pasta sauce made with red capsicum. At first, I wasn’t very convinced about the capsicum sauce business. Up until that point, pasta sauce was either tomato or cream based. Is anyone laughing at me? *embarrassed* But that night I kind of felt like trying it out, I guess I had no other option . As it turned out….guess how it was? ….. it was very delicious and full of sweet flavour from capsicum. I must say I was really impressed by the taste. It was definately worth a try. “Never afraid of new recipes, even it they sound strange!”

I tried to film the cooking process. But it was so hard! Can you imagine? Cooking with one hand and maneuvering a camera with the other… *Whew~* I couldn’t help laughing. I’m going to post it when I get around to editing it soon.

Just a picture of steps of making for now.

Ingredients

2 capsicums, 5 cloves garlic – grilled (they can be pan grilled if you are lazy like me, he he )
1 zucchini, 1 onion – pan fried
English spinach – 3-4 stalks, stems removed
kalamata olives

Here goes the video recipe. (I went through my old folder and found one waiting to be edited, but I thought better of it.  I just want to get done and over with it instead of having it lingering in my mind for a year.)
