Chapter 371
Bruce Everett placed the pot on the gas stove and looked left and right at the gas stove, but he did not know where the switch
w35.
“Why are you taking so long? Turn on the stovel
Bruce rubbed the tip of his nose resentfully, and his eyes became evasive. “Is this gas stove broken? Why isn’t there an on–off
switch?”
Joanna could not stand it anymore. She stalked walked over and flipped up the concealed switch cover. “Open this. The switch is inside. There are annotations on it!”
“Oh… This design is terrible!” Bruce muttered indignantly.
Outside the kitchen, the servants looked at one another in disbelief.
“Good heavens! Mr. Everett actually stepped into the kitchen. Did the sun rise from the west?”
“That’s right! He’s actually learning how to cook? What a rare sight indeed!”
“Tsk! Tsk! This is ludicrous!”
Soon, Joanna was done cooking the dumplings.
Then, she added garnishing like more cheese, sliced onions and bacon bits, as well as a side of sour cream.
Three servings of fragrant dumplings were ready!
“The dumplings are ready. We can start eating now.”
“Wow! Wow! It smells so good. I want to eat three big servings. The three little fellows gathered around the dining table and were extremely excited.
“Wow! It smells so good! I love Mommy’s dumplings the most.”
As she looked at the children eating with relish, Joanna felt very gratified. Being able to personally cook some food for the children was probably the happiest thing for her.
Bruce watched from the side and suddenly became interested in cooking. “Joanna, can you teach me how to make spaghetti?”
Joanna was stunned and could not help laughing out loud. “Sure!”
“It’s very simple. Boil the water, put the pasta in, boil for about 3 minutes and then ladle them out and rinse with cold water.
“Saute the sliced onions in olive oil before adding the diced pancetta. Fry until fragrant before tossing in the pasta. Mix well with the grated cheese sauce. Then garnish with parsley and it’s ready to eat!”
When Bruce heard this, he could not help but raise his eyebrows. “So simple?”
“What else were you expecting?”
*I’ll give instructions from the side. You can do it yourself. In the future, if you want to eat pasta pancetta, you can make it yourself.”
Bruce gave a snort.”
Alright!”
Joanna crossed her arms and gave instructions from the side. “First step, bring the water to a boil!”
Bruce frowned and cursed in his heart, “What are you acting so high and mighty for? It’s just cooking pasta!
“I can even pilot a plane and navigate a submarine. How can cooking pasta stump me?”
Bubbling! Bubbling! The water started boiling quickly and kept emitting white steam.
“Hey, hey! The water’s boiling. What’s next?”
Joanna could not help giving a mocking laugh. “Add the pasta next. Do you still need to ask?”
Joanna really wanted to give Bruce a knock on his head.
Bruce picked up a handful of fettuccine and threw it into the pot.
Due to the boiling water and steam, the water instantly spilled out.
“Hey, hey, hey! The water is spilling out, the water is spilling out… Bruce became very flustered.
He had never encountered such a scenario before.
“Quickly add some cold water!” Joanna scooped half a bowl of cold water and poured it into the pot. The water that was spilling out of the pot instantly subsided again.

Bruce was dumbfounded. “Oh…”
“When the water is about to spill out, remember to add some cold water to bring down the temperature.”
Three minutes later…
The pasta is ready. What’s the next step?” Bruce kept asking questions.
Joanna was a little frustrated. “The next step is to ladle out the pasta and rinse with cold water.”
Bruce took the pasta scoop and tried to scoop the fettuccine out of the pot.
Unfortunately, the long fettuccine strands seemed to be going against him. No matter how hard he tried, he could not hold them firmly, and he could not open his eyes because of the steam.
“I can’t even get this fettuccine out!” Bruce could not help grumbling again.
“How dumb!” Joanna walked over. She scooped all the fettuccine out with the pasta scoop in just a few moves.
“Bruce Everett, 1 really doubt your ability to use your hands!”
“For God’s sake, I’m very good with my hands, okay?” Bruce retorted indignantly.
He had always considered himself an all–rounder and would not accept anybody’s contradiction.
“Now, heat up the oil and saute the onions before adding the pancetta. Stir–fry until fragrant before tossing in the pasta with the some pasta water. Add some pasta water to the grated cheese to make a sauce. Remove the pasta from the pan and pour sauce over it before topping off with garnishing. That’s it!”
“So simple?” Bruce looked surprised again.
Joanna gave a disdainful laugh. “Yes, it’s that simple…”
“Tsk! Here I was thinking how difficult it would be! So it’s just sauteing until fragrant!”
Bruce turned on the gas hob, took out the frying pan, and poured the olive oil into it.
