Sardine Bolognaise Vermicelli

Vermicelli with Sardine Bolognaise

Today is my 3rd annual leave that I'm using for this year, and there are 4 more to go. Yesterday, I'd promised my family that I'll cook pasta since I'll be on leave. And so, here we go~


Vermicelli:
500g San Remo Vermicelli
Big cooking pot of water
2 tablespoons oil

Boil a big pot of water, then add pasta and oil (to prevent the pasta from sticking onto the pot). Cook them for 6-8 minutes or until pasta is ready, then drain the water.
