In the spirit of our Swensens discussions thread, I'm suggesting to Chief to

for the eventual winner! And we get to eat with a few of the KiasuParents
Team peeps. How about that?

And for the added prize 500 KPs as well..

Dun even remember contributing here. Hehe.


Anyway the one I gave was creamy mushroom pasta which my kids like. not Pesto. Pesto will be only olive oil and spices.

Here’s another one. Vongole.

Fresh Clams
Dry white wine (I usually use about 1/2 bottle for 1 pack of pasta)
1 cup stock
Garlic (sliced)
Fresh tomato (cubed/cherry tomatoes)
Basil Leaves (chopped)
Dried chilli
Olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Fry the garlic and chilli until fragrant, add clams and stir, add tomatoes, & wine, cover & simmer on high heat,(I usually remove the clams from the sauce at this point to avoid overcooking them) add stock, pasta and salt. Let pasta cook through. Sprinkle basil leave and black pepper and serve.

I will cook the pasta only 3/4s through in heavily salted water first and cook it through in the sauce only when ready to serve.

Vongole is usually nicer with spaghetti or angel’s hair pasta. You know those that you can slurp.

Wah! All the pasta lovers have surfaced!


Chief, shall we do a 'Post the most scrumptious-looking pasta' contest for fun and earn some kiasu points?

Sounds good. You get it started... I do the collation and award of KS points

BTW... does love for cold soba count as \"pasta love\"?

I have started it, ks2me and Chief! :hi5:

:!: :faint:[/quote]I am a bit of a stick in the mud when it comes to cooking. Certain things must be done in certain ways. When it comes to pasta, I feel tomato or cream base sauce goes better with fettucini, penne, linguini. For white wine sauces, spaghetti or angle hair pasta.

Bingo, Funz :celebrate: it's heavy cream with \"heavy\" pasta (more surface area); light cream with smaller surfaced-area pasta
