birthday cake?! No thanks, Baked Pasta and Tempura! Ciaoooo then the 13 was my birthday ... oh yes I'm getting old ... I did 19 years! So I decided to make a cake for the occasion, but a commitment between then and one I forgot ...
As every year, my mom showed me her most sweet gift ... the birthday lunch!
Here here what we have prepared for lunch ... A baked pasta and a white light frying, it is just light! It is not a joke ...
But let us ...
The dough was prepared with
- large size pasta (I used De Cecco)
- some zucchini
-
bacon - basil
- Parmigiano Reggiano
- extra virgin olive oil
- super light white sauce! hihi
- fairy dust (a mixture of spices including: savory, oregano, thyme, fennel seeds ...)
First, cut into small cubes or thin strips of zucchini and stir-fry with a little olive oil and a pinch of salt (I add also our "fairy dust")
To prepare the sauce use about 1 the milk and we melt 4 tablespoons of flour, cook until I start to boil and reaches the end of cooking add a tablespoon of olive oil and a handful of Parmesan cheese.
In a large pot of water I boil the pasta for a short time, drain loooong al dente.
is poured into a pan sauce is added (leaving aside about 1 / 4) and shredded basil bacon, cut into small cubes, mixes for the dough and cover with a final layer of bechamel.
Bake for 15-20 minutes at about 200 °
This however is the excellent fried tempura! The Typical Japanese fried, but in fact Japan is a sizzling mix of oils that are not here with us ... but we adapted!
For the batter:
- 100 gr flour (I used 00, some also use this rice ...)
-
starch 100 gr - 100 gr
frozen carbonated water - 100 gr. of cold beer
mixes everything and you put in the fridge ... it is important to the batter remains cold! Try it is extremely crisp and super lightweight! I fried the vegetables we have is his death with the squid. ... mmmm ....
