Sorry Joe but not many good thoughts towards your spag!! Man I LOVED IT!! But I love simple flavours! I enjoy some plain boiled rice with salt and pepper or some spaghetti with olive oil and garlic etc but Mum and Gramps weren't too impressed....My theory is people are so used to have a million flavours and sauces chucked into everything that they can't appreciate simple and authentic flavours! Mums first reaction was to jump up and grate some cheese to add to the flavours, although in my mind thats simply a crime!! CHEESE ON OLIVE OIL SPAG WITH PRAWNS AND BASIL!!! CRIME!!!! Grandpa agreed with Mum that a seafood creamy sauce would add lots to the dish...and as you can guess their scores were a little miserable...a 5 and a 6 out of 10!!
Me on the other hand...I love the basil, rocket and olive oil combo and the garlic!! yummmm..I loved being able to taste the pasta for a change instead of just tasting sauce!! Thankfully Will arrived home and ate the leftovers and also appreciated the simple flavours! It was nice for a change..In saying that however, I probably would do this one a little different next time...maybe some pine nuts or lime or even some bocconcini (I know this is cheese but its not tasty!! Come on!! Tasty cheese with this dish!!)....
Anyways a nice simple dish! SO EASY AND QUICK!! Beautiful!!

Hey Gracie...love your blog....but are we going to get any recipes....
ReplyDeleteHey Grace,
ReplyDeleteany idea where I can purchase the book? I'm thinking of cooking 1 recipe a week from your blog that gets the highest rating, because that way I know it'll be good.
Happy Cooking!
