I hardly cooked a proper Chinese meal these days. Hmmm...not sure why! Perhaps when I have an off day, I wanted to bring my girls out. It might be also it will be too hot to cook at home during the Summer when my house doesn't have an air-conditional. I didn't want to warm up my house and sweat myself when wok frying on the stove. If I do cook, simple one dish meal would surface. Maybe one dish rice dish finished in a rice cooker is another idea. Or just a simple noodle soup with frozen dumplings, green veggie and an egg throw in. Something simple like that or just a bowl of fresh salad with dressing.
This pasta dish was actually not quite simple to make as I have to precook the pasta first and then set it aside and then cook the ground chicken (with chicken breast that I have to cut and ground myself) with tomato sauce and then set it aside. Before I assemble the poultry tomato sauce and pasta with cheese in layers before finishing it off with a cheese layer on top and then baked it in a preheated 350'F oven for 20 minutes and then broiled it for 3 minutes to brown the cheese to finish it off. I probably won't be making this anytime soon as it was quite tedious. Ha!

We really have similar styles of cooking :P that is, to really keep it simple. We also don't have air-conditioning at home, so when it comes to summer and hot days, I just want to minimize over-the-stove cooking.
Nowadays, I rely on my oven quite a lot, or otherwise, the rice-cooker/one-pot style cooking.
