Simple and satisfying! How to make "Garlic Chives Meat Sauce Pasta"

【Ingredients】Serves 2
Pasta (1.8mm) 200g→This time, using 1.6mm thickness
Ground pork 140g
Garlic chives 1 bunch (100g)
Olive oil 2 tablespoons
Chinese seasoning 2 teaspoons
Oyster sauce 2 teaspoons
Salt and pepper to taste
Pasta cooking water about 2 ladles
Salt (for boiling pasta) to taste ※Aim for a salt concentration of 1% in the water

【Instructions】

1. Cut the garlic chives

Chop the part near the root finely, and cut the leaves into 1cm wide pieces. By chopping the root part, the sauce for the pasta will have a sense of unity and make it easier to eat.

2. Prepare the meat sauce

In a frying pan, add olive oil and ground meat, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Stir-fry until it gets a little browned, then add Chinese seasoning and oyster sauce, and stir-fry over medium heat.

3. Add the garlic chives

When the surface of the ground meat becomes crispy, add the garlic chives and stir-fry. By adjusting the heat so that the garlic chives become slightly wilted without losing their texture, you can fully enjoy the flavor of the garlic chives.

4. Boil the pasta

Boil water in a pot, add salt with a concentration of 1%, and cook the pasta according to the time specified.

5. Finish the chive meat sauce

Add two ladles of the pasta cooking water to emulsify the fat. By emulsifying, you eliminate greasiness and wateriness, resulting in a smooth texture.

6. Mix with pasta and serve

Toss the chive meat sauce with the drained pasta, and it's ready to serve.

【Taste Test】The savoriness of garlic chives and ground meat is fully enjoyable

By slowly stir-frying and emulsifying it with the pasta cooking water, the wilted texture of the garlic chives and the meat juice from the ground meat soak perfectly into the pasta, resulting in an outstanding combination! Made with ingredients that are staple in any household, the preparation is simple yet it tastes like a professional dish.

While the garlic chive meat sauce pasta is delicious on its own, adding Tabasco for a flavor change creates a perfect match between the umami of the garlic chives and the spiciness of the Tabasco! It transformed from a Japanese-style pasta to a Mexican-style pasta, giving us a brief taste of an overseas vibe while enjoying a home-cooked meal.

It’s a light pasta that is easy to eat even when your appetite wanes during the hot summer, so why not try making it to prevent summer fatigue?
