1st TORTELLI
Tipo 00, Melbourne
pine mushroom, parmesan & sage
2nd CREAMY MUSHROOM FETTUCCINE
Plank Sourdough Pizza - Faber Drive, Singapore
I rarely enjoy pastas at restaurants but damn, this one was good.
REALLY GOOD
3rd SALT&LAVENDER’S CREAMY BACON AND MUSHROOM PASTA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Happy National Eat Your Noodles Day! Is there a better excuse to get rid of that opened bag of bucatini and bacon you haven’t really had occasion to use otherwise? Love the crispy bacon and shrooms in garlic herb cream sauce combo!
4th THE SIZZLER
Day Dreamers Cafe, Kuala Lumpur
BRIEF: “Chicken tenders tossed in a creamy pesto and chilli Padi Alfredo sauce. Its hot!” SOOT’S TAKE: Scrumptious! I would return for this.
5th COOK’S ILLUSTRATED’S TRIPLE MUSHROOM PASTA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Fancy-tasting, umami-packed pasta on the relative cheap made possible with a light, creamy duxelles-based sauce of white buttons and (just a quarter ounce of) dried porcini. Then to top it off, a crisp topping of maitakes seared in extra-virgin olive oil. Genius. I think we did good here!
6th RECIPETINEATS’ CREAMY TOMATO PASTA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Commemorating National Spaghetti Day with what may be my favorite spaghetti dish of all. It is remarkably simple yet deliciously indulgent in the way comfort food can be. It is also reminiscent of the first pasta dish I ever had at an Italian-Japanese restaurant in the Roppongi area of Tokyo that one night my mom and I had to lay over unexpectedly on the way to Boston so many, many, many moons ago. I am so glad to have found this recipe from because I think of that pasta dish often and this brings back warm and fuzzy memories of gentler times.
7th HALF-BAKED HARVEST’S ONE POT FRENCH ONION PASTA WITH CRISPY PROSCIUTTO
Soots Cook Nook, Private
A riff on French onion soup but make it extra rich with a heavy cream- and gruyere-based sauce, creamy burrata, crispy prosciutto and a pound of pasta thrown in for good measure. May the heart and pancreas have mercy upon yours truly.
9th BEEF BOLOGNESE SPAGHETTI
Petit Bites Patisserie, Petaling Jaya
BRIEF: “Australian grass fed minced beef, carrot, onion, celery, pomodoro, parmesan cheese.” SOOT’S TAKE: Worth a repeat.
10th HALF-BAKED HARVEST’S CHERRY TOMATO PASTA ALLA VODKA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Fusilli Corti Bucati tossed in a deliciously creamy cherry tomato vodka sauce. Another one pot wonder that’s up there among my “definitely gonna repeat!” list. Yummo! 😋
11th FREGOLA PASTA
Loulou - French Cuisine & Wine Bar, Singapore
BRIEF: “Round shaped semolina pasta cooked in a creamy bisque broth, prawns, zucchini, confit peppers.” SOOT’S TAKE: I really enjoyed the pasta, more so than I did the prawns (even though those were also well done).
12th NYT COOKING’S ELAINE’S FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Happy National Fettuccine Day! “Delicious and deeply satisfying” is right. Apparently, Jackie O. was a fan and I am too! 🕶️
13th THE ORIGINAL DISH’S CREAMY PUMPKIN PASTA WITH ROSEMARY ALMOND BREADCRUMBS
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Happy National Pumpkin Day & day after World Pasta Day, except all I’m seeing is the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I love every element in this pumpkin-y pasta, from the chew of the bucatini to the flavorful, fall-forward sauce and breadcrumbs. Thank goodness I made a substantial batch coz I’m now sick with a respiratory bug.
14th NYT COOKING’S TAGLIATELLE WITH PROSCIUTTO AND BUTTER
Soots Cook Nook, Private
It’s World Pasta Day! This one consists of tagliatelle and just 3 other ingredients (minus S&P). Buon appetito! 👅
15th NYT COOKING’S CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH PASTA WITH SAGE AND WALNUTS
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Happy National Pasta Day and happy National Pumpkin Month! We can quibble over the semantics of categorizing 2 types of winter squash, but ya know what? If they’ve called it a butternut pumpkin since god knows when, it’s a goddamn pumpkin to me! 😁 So there, a cozy, satisfying meal to satisfy the fall nut in me. 😌
16th SBS’S THE ASSASSIN’S SPAGHETTI
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Had leftover passata in the fridge + it seemed appropriate with an episode of “Billions.” Buon appetito, amici!
18th OREGON BASIL PESTO PASTA
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Can something be so easy and so tasty at the same time? The answer’s a resounding YES.
20th PASTA SOCIAL CLUB’S TAGLIATELLE WITH CITRUS & PISTACHIO PESTO
Soots Cook Nook, Private
When you’re wondering about lunch and your leggy basil plants are hinting at an overdue prune job… Also love how the citrus from a whole orange and lemon really brightens this pesto.
21st SIP AND FEAST’S MUSHROOM BRANDY CREAM SAUCE SPAGHETTI
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Honoring the potential of brandy with pasta tossed with woodsy shrooms and a luscious herbed sauce of tomato with several swigs of Courriere X.O.
22nd THE ORIGINAL DISH’S BAKED RIGATONI WITH BUTTER ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Felt like a baked pasta and this was simple and tasty enough, albeit with pricey roma tomatoes (because local tomatoes here are next to flavorless). Would repeat with canned tomatoes next time to compare. 🍅🤞🍅
24th THE ORIGINAL DISH’S RIGATONI WITH CREAMY BRANDY TOMATO SAUCE
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Happy World Pasta Day! I got to harvest some oregano from the pot for this simple and satisfying meal!
25th BAKED FETA PASTA – ORIGINAL RECIPE
Soots Cook Nook, Private
It took a while but I finally got with the #uunifetapasta program and I’m eating it like it’s crack. Viral pasta for our viral times, courtesy of its original creator, @liemessa.
27th SAMI TAMIMI’S MA’CARONEH BIL LABAN
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Pasta with yoghurt and parsley breadcrumbs is my first attempt at a Sami Tamimi recipe and it’s pretty fuss-free. I was a tad skeptical about the use of yoghurt and egg yolks as the base for the pasta sauce, but all the (other) elements in this dish complemented one another so exquisitely that I couldn’t help but be amazed. This is inspired by one of Tamimi’s mom’s pasta staples whom I suppose I should be grateful to for indirectly birthing this dish. Mighty glad I chose to prepare this on my birthday.
29th MIDNIGHT PASTA WITH ROASTED GARLIC, OLIVE OIL AND CHILE
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Is it midday pasta since I had it around noon 🕛 or midnight pasta since I roasted the garlic at midnight ~ 12 hrs prior, so that it would only take under 20 minutes to do the rest at lunch time? 😳
