Salmon Carbonara

Dalam seminggu, mesti masak pasta. Dan pasta ni selalunya dikategorikan sebagai menu penyelamat, tatkala sibuk, etc.

Kids memang suka pasta. Cuma masalahnya, sorang suka tomato based, sorang suka creamy white pasta. Oleh kerana creamy white pasta lebih mudah untuk dibuat, so itulah yang selalu saya masak.

Creamy seafood pasta ni senang bangat. Seafood tu boleh tukar-tukar. Ada sekali tu, bantai pakai salmon. Mak Aiihhhhhh, nyums!
