thursday's baked white spaghetti

After about a week of working out on the treadmill and in the pool, coupled with abstaining from carbohydrates and fats since Monday, guess, my body was craving for starch and oil. Well, I gave in to it and prepared a dieter’s nightmare baked white spaghetti.

Ingredients

3 cloves garlic
1 small onion
¼ cup butter (at least I used the lite variety)
1 cup chicken broth
1 chicken bouillon cube (know it may sound redundant but this and the broth flavor the sauce)
1 cup all purpose cream
1 tablespoon of lime/kalamansi juice
White pepper to taste
¼ kilo of spaghetti (cooked and drained)
Lots and lots of grated quick-melt cheese

Saute onion and garlic in butter. Add broth and cube. Simmer. Add cream, simmer and add lime/kalamansi juice. Simmer. Add white pepper to taste. Toss in cooked spaghetti. Add lots of grated cheese and toss again. Arrange in a baking dish. Sprinkle more cheese on top and pop it in a conventional oven or microwave. I am using a microwave as a conventional oven would be too hot for a small place. Nuke it for about 3 minutes in medium high heat.

Darn! Now I’ve got to run and swim again to burn calories. What a vicious cycle!
