Pasta Buongustaio

Yummy Pasta !
This weekend, Gayle decided to do some home cooking for us both. As the chef, she chose to cook a favorite dish of ours - Maiale Pasta frutti del mare mai - simply translated :- ) - pasta cooked in white wine with seafood and pork. We went to Sheng Shiong to get prawns at Bedok as the prawns there are fresh and cheap. We got minced pork from Cold Storage. We took the opportunity to spend time together cooking, me cleaning and peeling the prawns and she slicing, dicing and cooking. It's really nice to be able to spend quality time to do things together and well, cooking is really very fruitful cos you are together in the entire process and get to savour the rewards together.
Spending Quality time - having a nice meal together!

Prawn head broth in white wine simmering. It is useful to buy cooking pans with spouts on either end for efficient pouring of gravy or broth without spilling
