About this recipe

I’m sharing with you our approach to pasta – the simple macaroni in a garlic yogurt sauce known in the Middle East as Macaroni Bel Laban.

Only 3 ingredients are required. This unusual pasta dish is seriously yummy and it’ll feed your kids in under 15 minutes. This is the go-to recipe when you don’t feel like cooking, but it’s still homemade food.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 250g pasta (shell)
  • 500g natural yogurt
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • salt to season

Optional

  • 1 tablespoon ghee/butter
  • 1 tablespoon pine nuts

Notes from Rouba

  • Bigger size pasta doesn’t do this dish justice.
  • The pasta must be warm before being tossed with yogurt (highly recommend).
  • Adding butter & pine nuts is optional.
  • Once the pasta is tossed with the yogurt, it’s best to serve straight away.

Method

Step 1.

Boil the pasta until soft (softer than al dente). Drain.

Step 2.

Whilst the pasta is cooking, prepare the yogurt by mixing yogurt, crushed garlic & salt. Toss warm pasta with the prepared garlic yogurt sauce.

Step 3.

This step is optional. Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee or butter, add 1 tablespoon of pine nuts and toss until golden in colour. Pour it on top of the pasta.

The best ever pistachio rose brownies and so easy to make. These brownies are just the right amount of squidgy on the inside with a lovely crust on the top.

When people ask me, ‘Is your family okay?’ I want to scream that the people you see on your screens are all my family. Every person, every child, every home — they are my people, my family. 💔 We have run out of words for what we’ve witnessed and continue to witness. Today, I’m being honest with you all: my sadness has turned into anger, my heartbreak into frustration. I feel a mix of helplessness, rage, and deep sorrow, wanting to scream at someone, to shout at the injustice. But instead, I need to channel this energy elsewhere. Let’s help each other out — how do we process this? How do we keep moving forward? What do you do to cope in moments like these?

Read to the end... and ask yourself, why? Look closely at this photo. It may seem like just a building, but if you look closer, you’ll see holes — scars from a bomb that hit our home in 1983 by Isr-ael . But that’s not the story I’m here to tell. I’m here to talk about family, love, and what it means to grow up between two worlds. Scroll through 👉🏽 these photos and videos, and at the end, I hope you’ll ask yourself the same question I do: Why are we seen so differently? I was born in Australia 🇦🇺 but my father wanted me to grow up in Lebanon 🇱🇧 surrounded by our family, our culture, and our traditions. He believed that we should grow up in the heart of our roots, amongst our people, to learn who we are and where we come from. And while we did, there was always this underlying reality—war, unrest, the world constantly chipping away at the places we call home 🥲 It’s ironic, isn’t it? In the West, there’s often resentment towards migrants and refugees. They ask why we come, but the truth is, we are here because the very countries they live in have been bombing ours for decades. We never wanted to leave our homes; we were forced to. Our families, our homes, and our childhood memories are left behind, often shattered, while we try to rebuild elsewhere❤️ My trip back home only a couple of month ago was wonderful. I spent time with family and created new memories that I’ll always hold dear. Some of the people you see in these photos, though, have already left their homes. Others are now forced to leave as well. And the rest? They wait with anxious hearts, knowing that more bombs will fall, knowing their world will soon be reduced to rubble 💔 I often wonder — why doesn’t the world see us, Arabs, as people who deserve to live in peace? Why is it that when they look at us, they see something different, something “other”? Take a moment to look at these photos and videos. At the end, you’ll see Gus and me, just two normal people, sharing a light moment, having some fun. Why is it that the world sees us as anything less than human💔
