The sauce for this Spicy Almond Chicken Pasta is basically almond satay sauce i.e. satay sauce made with almonds instead of peanuts.

I never would have thought of stir frying spaghetti in an Asian style like how we’d do Chinese fried noodles till my mother-in-law whipped up a quick and tasty lunch of stir fried fusilli with char siu when I first came by her house in England years ago. It works in a similar way like […]

This was the super yummy Alfredo Fettuccine I had during my cruise as mentioned in my Part 1 post:Ā Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Recipe (Part 1 of 2).

Seafood Marinara Spaghetti Recipe

I never really fancy bottled pasta sauces that much because they areĀ often flat in texture (I like my sauce with bits and chunks) and contain way too much sodium. For my Seafood Marinara Spaghetti Recipe, I use diced tomatoes with no salt to create the sauce base and then just season it with enough salt […]

I love no-cook pasta sauces because they are just so easy to make. All I need is just my handy food processor to blend everything together.
