I like the crunchiness and taste of pasta cooked in the oven. I like the crust of cheese that mixes with tenderness of pasta. And this is a recipe that you can prepare in advance and cook just before your guests come. Or, you can use if you have some pasta leftovers.

I was reading a book about the French cuisine when I remembered what my mom usually does when she has some mashed potatoes leftovers. I do not know how this memory came to my mind (I was reading about soups, and especially French soups). But human mind is a mistery…

I like going to the Chinese restaurant. And we are very lucky because here in the Bay Area the Chinese cuisine is very well known and you can find many good places (and not very expensive).
One of my favorite Chinese food is Sesame chicken. I love sesame and I think it adds a special flavor.

Today I talked with my mother (I love calling her with Skype and my webcam) and I asked her what I could cook tomorrow.
She told me that tomorrow she’s going to sautee some shrimp in an easy and fast way and she suggested me to do the same.
