 # Fried Anglerfish fillet
 
-This is a simple light-flavoured recipe. Anglerfish (I'm referring specifically to the 'monfish/sea-devils' variant) meat is mild, when fried it forms like a batter around the fillet absorbing the butter and subtle flavours of the herbs. Preparing the anglerfish is an involved process that I'll try and explain to the best of my abilities but watching someone do it would be more then helpful. Fresh herbs are always preferable.

-1. Turn the creature on its back. With a sharp and preferably short-bladed knife make an incision from the anus to just between the two small fins under the head. This is best done by inserting the knife blade tip facing up while putting force upwards and moving towards the head, letting gravity do the work. This helps to avoid puncturing the organs.

 9. Add the herbs, just enough to cover the fillets, salt and pepper too if desired and cover with the lid on low heat until fully cooked. Time here varies but it can be anywhere between 5-10 minutes.
 10. Enjoy. This goes well with steamed vegetables. Or potatoes to soak up the butter.

+
+
+## Ingredients
+
+- Steak
+- Kosher Salt
+- Mustard Powder
+- Tabasco Sauce
+
+## Directions
+
+1. Rub a generous amount of salt all over the steak
+2. Coat the entire steak with mustard powder
+3. Pour Tabasco Sauce onto both sides of the steak, don't be afraid to put more on than you think you might otherwise be comfortable with the salt will cancel out a lot of the spice while grilling.
+4. Grill over low heat until steak is cooked to your preference.

+# Quick Breakfast Spaghetti
+
+A quick breakfast spaghetti recipe that covers a healthy amount of carbs, fat, and spices. Eggs
+and/or bacon can be added to cover some protein, you should cook those while the boiler is cooking
+the speghatti for time efficiency.
+
+## Ingredients
+
+- Spaghetti (any kind you prefer)
+- Ground spices (I like to use cumin, tumeric, paprika, and garlic)
+- Tomato Paste/Sauce (preferably one with basil and without perservatives)
+- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
+
+## Directions
+
+1. Boil some water fully and prepare a pot.
+2. While the water is boiling, add all your spices in the pot with the spaghetti on top.
+3. Pour the boiled water on the spaghetti to make it soft so you can immerse it fully in the water.
+4. Mix thouroughly the water with the spices and salt and pepper if needed.
+5. Place the pot on the stove, keep it boiling, and stir every minute or two for 8 minutes.
+6. It should take no more than 8 minutes, but you can check if it is fully cooked by tasting one
+	 peice at a time.
+7. Once it is fully cooked, strain the water from the pot and keep the spaghetti in.
+8. Before placing it back on the stove, add and mix a generous amount of olive oil. Now's the time to add
+	 bacon or turkey if you are also using that.
+9. While stirring the spaghetti, add your tomato sauce or paste and keep mixing for a minute and
+	 avoid letting it stick to the boiler.
+10. Pour the spaghetti out in your favorite bowl and enjoy!

+# Roasted chicken breast
+
+How to roast chicken breast with a "leave-in" probe thermometer. The thermometer ensures the chicken comes out juicy and delicious.
+
+## Ingredients
+
+- Boneless skinless chicken breast(s)
+- 1/4 stick of butter per chicken breast
+- Seasoning (optional)
+
+## Directions
+
+1. Fill a large bowl with enough water to submerge the chicken. Add salt to the water until it's fully saturated. Put the chicken under the water and let it sit for 20-40 minutes at room temperature.
+1. Preheat the oven to 230°C / 450°F.
+1. Remove the chicken from the water. Rinse it. Dry it. Put it in a roasting pan (you can use a casserole dish, oven-safe skillet, or baking pan too).
+1. Brush the chicken with melted butter. For best results, brush all sides of the chicken breast.
+1. Season with pepper and any optional seasoning. Season with salt last.
+1. Insert the thermometer probe into the thickest part of the smallest breast.
+1. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 68°C / 155°F.
+1. Remove from the oven and immediately cover with foil leaving the probe inserted. Let the chicken sit for 10 minutes at room temperature. The chicken will continue to cook. It should reach at least 74°C / 165°F but if it doesn't, see [this reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/comments/49opyx/cooking_chicken_to_temps_below_165_is_it_safe/) about food safety when cooking chicken to less than 165°F.

+# Simple sauce
+
+This is a simple and well known recipe. It goes by many names and this recipe is a starting point for many sauces, eg '1000 island sauce'.
+
+## Ingredients
+
++ Tomato sauce.
++ Mayonaise
+
+## Directions
+
+1. Mix one part tomato sauce with two parts mayonaise. What 'part' means is up to you, because that will determine how much sauce you will have. You can also adjust this to your liking. More tomato sauce, more acidity. More mayonaise, more sweetness.
+2. Enjoy!

+# Spaghetti and Meatballs
+
+- ⏲️Prep time: 20 min
+- 🍳Cook time: 40 min
+- 🍽️Servings: 6
+
+## Ingredients
+
+### For the sauce
+
+- ½ chopped sweet yellow onion
+- 3 cloves chopped garlic
+- 1 cup finely chopped carrots
+- 1 cup chopped cremini brown mushrooms
+- 2 cans (28 oz.) Italian plum tomatoes
+- ¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
+- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
+- 3 tbsp. tomato paste
+- ¼ cup grated Parmesan-Romano cheese blend
+- ¼ cup red wine (optional)
+
+### For the meatballs
+
+- 1 lb. ground beef
+- ½ lb. fresh bulk Italian style pork sausage
+- 2 tbsp. finely chopped basil
+- 2 tbsp. finely chopped Italian parsley
+- ½ cup finely chopped cremini brown mushrooms
+- 2 large eggs
+- ¾ cup unseasoned breadcrumbs
+- ¼ cup grated Parmesan-Romano cheese blend
+- Red wine (optional)
+
+### For the pasta
+
+- 1 ½ lb. dry spaghetti
+
+## Directions
+
+### Prepare the sauce
+
+1. Heat olive oil in a 4 to 5 quart pot on medium-high heat.
+2. Add onions and cook for 2 minutes.
+3. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds longer or until fragrant.
+4. Add the carrots and mushrooms, and cook for 2 minutes.
+5. Add the tomato paste, stir to blend, and cook for a minute longer.
+6. Add the canned tomatoes, basil, and parsley.
+7. Mash and stir the tomatoes with a potato masher until the sauce starts to thicken, about 5 minutes over medium-high heat.
+8. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently while prepating meatballs, stirring occasionally.
+
+### Form the meatballs
+
+9. In a large bowl, mix by hand the beef, Italian sausage, basil, parsley, mushrooms, eggs, breadcrumbs, cheese, and 2 tablespoons of salt and pepper.
+  - Do not overmix or the meatballs will be tough.
+10. Use small melon baller (or teaspoon) to form 1-inch round meatballs.
+11. Roll and compress into tight balls.
+
+### Cook the meatballs
+
+12. In a separate wide, shallow pan, heat olive oil on medium-high heat.
+13. Brown meatballs on all sides for about 2-3 minutes.
+  - Depending on the pan size, you may need to brown two batches of the meatballs. Cook them in a single layer; do not crowd the pan by stacking them.
+  - Do not overcook the meatballs; they will continue to cook in the sauce.
+14. Towards the end of browning the meatballs, add a little bit of red wine to deglaze the pan.
+
+### Finish and simmer the sauce
+
+15. Add the cheese and red wine to the sauce and stir it in. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to taste.
+16. Add meatballs and gently stir. Simmer the sauce and meatballs for 30-45 minutes while cooking the spaghetti, stirring occasionally.
+
+### Cook the spaghetti
+
+17. Fill a large pot with 4 quarts of water. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and bring it to a boil.
