cili padi corned beef spaghettini


Did I just ditch this blog for more than 2 years? I think I did.

Oh well, let's just move forward shall we. This recipe is adapted from Delicious' famous recipe of the same name. I kinda guessed the recipe for it, and then Mr Seademon made it for a dinner party last year. A couple of weeks later Delicious published the recipe for their version on their Facebook page. Please adjust the chilli according to your personal heat tolerance level. We like ours a bit Demonic!

Ingredients:

1 box Barilla spaghettini N3
2 cans corned beef (we normally use Highway and not Libby's cuz the latter is a bit plain-tasting)
1 bulb garlic, minced (bulb please, NOT CLOVE)
15 cili padis (or more)
Some cherry tomatoes, halved
Bunch of whole Thai Basil (Daun Selaseh) - do not cut
Salt and pepper to taste
A dash of Maggi seasoning

Directions:

Prepare pasta as directions on box. Heat olive oil. Saute mince garlic until they're slightly fragrant, and then add cili padi. Mix around for a couple of minutes, but not too long as the cili will become overpoweringly hot.

Add corned beef, break up to smaller bits, mix around with the garlic and cili mixture. Saute for a few minutes. Add pasta, cherry tomatoes and basil leaves. Toss until all pasta is coated with the beef mixture, and basil leaves slightly wilt. Add salt and pepper - not too much salt thought because the corned beef is salty. Sprinkle a dash of Maggi seasoning.

Your dish is ready! Garnish with a sprig of Thai Basil.
