Just Yellow and Orange!

I found a few leftover ingredients in the fridge and so I came up with this recipe --Yellow/Orange Bake! Yea, all the leftover ingredients happened to be either yellow or orange.. hence the name. 

You will need:

a third of a squash

a potato

2-3 carrots

mozzarella cheese

mixed herbs (I just used the Asda brand)

grounded black pepper

butter

water

cooking oil

Steps:

1. Peel the potato, carrots and the squash.

2. Cut them up into small chunks.

3. Boil the squash until it softens.

4. Boil the carrots until it softens.

5. Preheat the oven at 200C.

6. Add in cooking oil to a pan, then fry the potatoes until the sides turn slightly golden brown.

7. Add in a bowl of water and put the lid on to allow the potatoes to cook.

8. Turn off the heat when all the water is gone.

9. Prepare a container with aluminium foil.

10. Add in the ingredients in layers, I added the carrots first, then potatoes, then mozzarella cheese, and melted some butter and pour it on top. I also added in some mixed herbs and grounded black pepper. Lastly, I added in the squash. and some more butter and mixed herbs on top.

12. Take it out and sprinkle more mozzarella cheese and mixed herbs and grounded black pepper.

13. Place it back into the oven for 5mins. 

You may serve it with some tomato pasta or rice. For the pasta, I just went with a very simple sauce:

You will need:

(4 servings)

500g of pasta/macaroni 
4-6 spoons of ketchup

1-2 bowls of water

3/4 tsp of brown sugar

Mixed herbs

The measurements above were just an estimate, and you can adjust it according to your preference. I tend to taste it along the way to find the right balance for myself:P

Steps:

1. Boil the pasta with water and little bit of cooking oil.

2. Drain away the water and run the pasta under cold water.

3. Place the pasta into a pan, Add in some ketchup and water.
