Asparagus and Mushroom Rigatoni Recipe

Jive Kitchen is back with a simple and healthy pasta from Runner's World. We cooked this pasta, replacing several stuff to clear our kitchen, most notable one is Rigatoni with Spaghetti.

Realizing that Asparagus and Shitake mushroom is the key ingredients, we tried to keep both in the dishes. Lucky for us that Sogo Food Hall sell both stuff with a good quality.

Another ingredients that we replace is Parsley with Italian Herbs, and Parmigiano Reggiano with Parmesan. While Sogo sell a good quality of Parsley, we don't want to buy bunch of it and ended up with using 1-2 stalk for decoration. Besides, we love the taste of Italian herb in the final result.

Quoting the recipe author about this dishes: "You get all the carbs without the cream or butter." Get the full recipe and instruction from Runner's World

Bakerzin Jakarta - It is More Than Dessert

Our first impression of Bakerzin is about dessert. Delicious cakes, being on sale at night, what would be better than that? We often stop by after dinner just for the cakes. But today, we think it is a good idea to dine in.

I found my favorite Caesar salad in Bakerzin. It is served with generous romaine lettuce and creamy Worcestershire sauce. Instead of crouton, Bakerzin served halved french baguette, grilled with olive oil. My wife argue that the proper Caesar salad shall be served with anchovy. But for me this one taste just fine.

My wife ordered Linguini Balsamico Bratwurst. The Linguini is cooked just nice, al dente. Somehow the Balsamico sauce is a bit sweet. It is fine with me, but not for my wife. Bakerzin add small cut chilli, which is guaranteed to make you hot.

For share, we ordered sausage pot. It is 2 pieces of Bratwurst and grilled baby potato, served on a hot plate with mustard. It is basically something that we prepared at home if we are not too lazy.

All of the food leave no room in our stomach for dessert, so wrap the cakes for take away. Can't wait to enjoy Bakerzin's dessert once we get home
