When I saw a friend post a picture of this on Facebook, it piqued my interest. This was something I knew I wanted to let hubby try, and hopefully draw him out of what he’s usually accustomed to. What’s this? It’s Creamy Tom Yum Prawn Pasta!
You see, I love pasta in all manners, with the exception of bolognese, and beef. Hubby had made the mistake of ordering a carbonara on his first encounter with pasta and was turned off by the creamy cloying glob. He has, since then, been strongly against pasta. It was only recently that I managed to stir some remote interest in pasta in him when I cooked bolognese pasta. He gradually grew to love the bolognese that I make and keeps asking for it. Argh! I am not keen on it and don’t want to eat it so often. Hence, I must entice him to fall for something else. And what better way to do it than to cook a fiery fusion pasta? Pasta purists out there, please turn away!
Although the name of the dish is Creamy, I have to stay away from using any cream for my sauce, or else, hubby may be revolted. Therefore, I whisked in flour and milk to create the creamy hint. And I had to remember to make it really spicy to “trick” hubby. So, in addition to the store-bought tom yum paste, I threw in some red chillies and cili padi for good measure.

What was hubby’s verdict? His predilection for all things spicy saved the day. He finished everything in no time!
