One of my favourites

One of my favourite meals to date that I have prepared all by myself is a dish called “bacon-feta-noodle-bake”. This may seem very loaded with really bad things for your health but it tastes really good, trust me!! Moving on, this meal happened while I was preparing dinner and felt in the mood to experiment.

The ingredients need to create a mouth-watering meal are (the quantities may vary as to the amount of people you serving), I just go with my gut feeling:
·         Fatti’s and Moni’s noodles
·         Danish feta (cut into little cubes)
·         Chopped bacon (available chopped or you can do it yourself)
·         Grated gouda cheese
·         For the white-sauce
o   Butter
o   Cake flour
o   Milk

This is how the master-piece was created:
·         Firstly, prepare noodles according to packet instructions and place noodles in a deep baking bowl
·         Fry the bacon in a well buttered(adds flavour to the bacon) pan and add it to the deep baking bowl
·         Add the cubes of feta to the baking bowl
·         Mix contents of the bowl to evenly distribute everything in it
·         Pre-heat your oven for 15min at 180 degrees
·         To prepare the white sauce:
o   On medium heat melt butter to a pan and completely melt it
o   Add cake flour to melted butter, little by little until a saucy paste is formed
o   Add milk little by little to form a less paste-like sauce (meaning a proper sauce)
Noodle-bake
o   Add aromat or a pince of salt for flavour
o   Once the your gut tells you the sauce is ready, pour sauce over all the contents in the deep baking bowl
·         Once all your ingredients are in the deep baking bowl, distribute the grated cheese over the top of the bowl
·         Put the bowl into the oven and leave until the layer of cheese is crispy-brown (about 15min depending on your oven)

And the ladies and gentle-men is how I created the “bacon-feta-noodle-bake”.
