Shrimp and Mushroom Risotto with Italian Herbs and White Wine Sauce
I have cooked many dishes and have done many experiments, substituted many ingredients and discovered many flavours.. but if there’s one dish that truly left me mind-blown, it is this. I am almost afraid to cook this again, for fear of not being able to replicate the flavour a second time. The umami was something out of what my palette could recognise, and it is indeed, a welcomed surprise. I decided to include this not-that-budget Shrimp & Mushroom Risotto recipe because it’ll still cost you less than what you’d pay for risotto outside! :) Plus, the extreme satisfaction you get after the meal is completed? It’s priceless! Makes 2-3 servings…
Penne Pasta in White Wine Cream Sauce
I always have pasta in my pantry, for my carb days and when I just want to whip up something quick and easy. I have a problem though. There are picky pasta eaters in the house. Ah-mm loves pasta and will eat any kind that I cook- spaghetti, penne, fettuccine, macaroni, anything, in whatever sauce- cream sauce, tomato-based, pesto. 88 has a weak stomach and is convinced that eating pasta will give her gastric pains, so I try not to cook pasta for her if I can help it, unless if it is macaroni soup. Jason is quite picky about his pasta sauces- he hates pesto, doesnt quite like aglio…
