Aglio Olio and Bruschetta from Italy

My girls are into noodle recently. They love pan mee, udon, Shanghai mee, and spaghetti. Since they like spaghetti, I took this opportunity to introduce Italy to them. I have made Aglio Olio (with a little modification to tailor to their taste bud) and bruschetta. 

Aglio Olio - 3 pax 

Ingredients:

1. Spaghetti

2. 5 strips of Chicken breast 

3. Italian herbs : basil, rosemary, oregano, thyme, parsley, red bell pepper

Steps:

1. Marinate the chicken strips with Italian herbs and a pinch of salt overnight.

2. Bring spaghetti to boil. Boiled until it's soft.

3. Drain it and toss with sesame oil and soya sauce. (You may use olive oil or fried garlic oil)

4. Sprinkle Italian herbs and toss it.
