The request last night from J was for something healthy. Out the door went my fantasies of comforting risottos and carbonaras and in flew this. I whipped this up inspired by a version from Bobby Flay and served it with a piece of seared salmon on top. It was really nice and I used actual soba noodles this time which I thought really was quite superior to the whole wheat spaghetti of last week’s post. Whole wheat pasta quality varies so much and is so susceptible to screwing up when cooking.
I am still getting over this nasty bug and working really long hours which isn’t helping so this was all the energy I could muster after my 11 hour day. I am hoping this evening will lead to something more comforting, perhaps something in a cream sauce.
