Boiled Turkey Breast: Wow!

"Wow!" - Ran in my head when I bit that cube of turkey. That is so subtle, so extraordinary. The boiled turkey breast is a great food for weight reducing diet.

What did I do to get that taste? Simply by trying to have boiled turkey and stock.

Fresh tomato based pasta

Being lazy is not a bad thing, as I discovered not long ago. Being lazy is the reason I came up with this fresh tasting recipe.
I was so hungry one evening after a long and lazy day. As usual pasta and fresh tomatoes are abundant at my home(thank you relatives and frequent guests from Rome,Italy). I was so tired to cook up the sauce, that I just chopped the tomatoes and fresh basil, and that was the base for the pasta.
