Spaghetti in RedWine sauce



This is one of my favourite type of Pasta, its not too dry and not too wet. It absolutely easy to cook, just takes you 25 mins from start to end. Its what I usually cook when I am just lazy :P, dont be fooled by its simple ingredients cause it packs a flavourful punch like Mike Tyson.


200g of Spaghetti ( boiled for 15mins and drained dry )
1 cup of Red Wine
1 cup of Heavy Cream
2 tablespoon of grated Parmesan Cheese
2 tablespoon of salted butter
100g of any meat slices ( beef steak, lamb steak, take care its not frosted or wet with thawing )
1 tablespoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon of salt
1 large onion finely diced


Heat up a frying pan. Turn the heat up to max and wait several minutes until you see theres vapour coming from it. Sprinkle the pepper and salt on the meat and then add in the butter into the smoking pan immediately followed by the meat steaks on top. Turn the heat down to low and shear the meat for 2 mins. Then flip the meat and shear for another 2 mins. Remove the meat from the pan but leave all the oil and juices in the pan.


Now be very careful while your adding the red wine, sometimes it catches fire but dont panic just let the alcohol burn out in a couple of minutes. Next add in the onions and stir the sauce for about 1 min and a half, next add in the cream slowly to see how much sauce you want. Finally add in the cheese to taste.


Now place the spaghetti and meat on a large flat serving plate. Next spoon the boiling sauce slowly on to the spaghetti and a little on the meat. Yes you can bath the meat in the sauce if you like ~ ~! hehehe serve immediately with a dash of Parmesan cheese for taste :D
