i love cooking and here are some of the things that i love to cook. i will add more as i come across them or type them out. * Cheesy Bolognese Pasta Bake ------------------------------------------------------------

* "Pastizzies" also known as Maltese Pasties Prep Time: 10 / Cook Time: 15 / Ready In: 25 INGREDIENTS: Filo Pastry, Ricotta Cheese DIRECTIONS: 1. Divide the filo pastry into squares. 2. Add a spoonful of the Ricotta Cheese. 3. Make into a triangle. 4. Brush with Butter. 5. Put in oven and bake until Golden Brown. ------

Pastizzi (ricotta or pea filled pasties)

A popular snack for all Islanders, found at pastizzerias and most bars, pizzerias, and some restaurants and bakeries. Pastizzi are small, diamond-shaped packets of flaky pastry stuffed with either fresh ricotta or a mushy pea mixture. Sometimes they are slightly spicy and made from shortcrust pastry. They have been likened to the Indian Samosas, just with a more neutral filling. Puff pastry variants are served at most restaurants, though tasting totally different.

You Are Aurora! (A.K.A. Sleeping Beauty.)

Thoughtful and loving. Authority figures probably have been sheltering you all of your life. Thankfully you're a very tranquil person who is content with what life has given you, but secretly you want to know how the outside world works.

Which Disney Princess Are You?
