Macaroni with Tomato paste

Invited my woolly lamb to cupboard for Foodie. It took me about 35-45 mins to prepare everything. Went home then realise there is no onions, so I skipped that. I particularly like the taste of the yellow pepper in my sauce, though i find the sauce a bit too sweet (due to it being from the can) and like too thick, but mehz said not too little ah, they were just right to coat all the macaroni. Oh, ya, the mushrooms were too little IMO, and i forgot to take out the smashed garlics from the sauce, so the poor lamb swallowed some.

No photos coz I forgot.

Who washed the dishy? Mehz

This is the recipe used: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/ptm/chefs/ep3.htm

250g pasta - I put 2 ¾ full rice bowls
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp cooking oil
4 cloves
garlic (chopped) 2 cloves smashed
1 large onion (chopped)

1 tbsp chilli paste
200g
tomato paste -100g
12 basil leaves (chopped)
100ml cream

1 cup assorted
capsicums (cubes) Half a yellow capsicum , sliced
Salt to taste omitted coz tomato paste has
1 tsp crushed pepper
1 tbsp cheddar cheese (grated)

Sliced mushrooms, equal portion as capsicum
4 hotdogs, sliced

Sprinkle of sugar
Half a bowl of water

My steps:
1) Cook pasta in salted water for 20mins
2) Saute the garlic in oil, add hotdog and fry, then add capsicum.
3)Pour in the tomato sauce and chilli and water and mix
4)Let the mushrooms boil in the sauce
5)When everything looks cooked, sprinkle the sugar, mix somemore and then. pour onto macaroni
6)Mix the sauce with spoons with the macaroni
7)Call mehz to see whether he's coming to be in time to wash the dishy.
