Nuna's Creamy Tomato Pasta
Pinkblanket's Kitchen @pinkblanketskitchen
Our 16th year old daughter cooks at home and her 18th year old sister helps 🥰 They are after their dad who loves to cook & he cooks every weekend or every chance he gets when ever he's not occupied with his work. Each cooks differently and it's a reflection of our different backgrounds as our kids grow up in Australia and my husband and i brought up in Malaysia. So at home, we have both western and asian palate to cater to. Now we are in Houston, our girls are crazy with anything and everything Mexican and Southern. They watch a lot of cooking videos, learning to cook their newly favourite Mexican food at home. We are happy to see them being constructive with what they learn online. Today, kids are in the kitchen again. Though it’s not Mexican today, we are happy with their simple pasta served with some sides.

Add seasoning mix (paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper). Season with a pinch of salt and stir. You can adjust the seasonings later. Next, add grated cheese, adding 1/3 cup first, stir well until the cheeses melt and as you stir, check the consistency. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons more (cheese) only if needed.

Creamy Tomato Pasta
In my house, everyone is obsessed with this dish. I make it regularly now. I was inspired by my favoritel italian restaurant who serves the best pastas (I'm biased). This sauce is pretty close to their ravioli sauce that I LOVE. I typically make herb chicken or shrimp to go with this. But the pasta alone is wonderful!

The Richness of the Crab Butter is Irresistible! Crab and Tomato Cream Pasta
I love the crab and tomato cream pasta that's served at Italian restaurants, but my husband was transferred to another office, and we had kids, so we don't have the opportunity to go to such restaurants anymore. So I decided to try making it myself. I was surprised at how delicious it was made with regular staple ingredients! The ingredients are a bit pricey, but it's much cheaper than eating out.The key is the crab butter! Just adding a little bit of it makes such a difference to crab dishes. Crab butter is available in cans, but I usually buy fresh crab butter sold in the shells for about 160 yen each. I don't like having leftover cream, so I use up a whole carton, but I always use 2 servings of sauce and freeze the rest. When I have this sauce stocked in the freezer it makes me happy! For 3 to 4 servings. Recipe by Akko

It takes approximately twenty minutes to put together which gives your kiddos plenty of time to sit down and enjoy this delicious meal.
Creamy Pasta With Lots of Clams
I wanted to make a pasta with the clams we'd gotten when we went clam-digging. I was considering going for a light pasta but I wanted to eat a rich, creamy pasta so I added a generous amount of cream. It was surprisingly non-cloying and delicious, so I posted the recipe.Don't over-reduce the sauce in Step 4. Even if it's just slightly thickened at this point, by the time you put the pasta on the serving plates it will have reached the perfect creamy consistency. Recipe by Lesser Panda

Rich Carbonara with Homemade Pasta
Fresh pasta goes very well in carbonara. It is very nice to have it with a glass of white wine and an herb salad.★ The amount of the pasta used here is the fresh pasta amount. If you are using dried pasta, adjust to a desirable amount ♪☆ I recommend grated parmesan cheese.★ Heavy cream in New Zealand is thick. If you are using Japanese heavy cream, you may add 1 tablespoon of butter. Recipe by TetoNZ

My 2 year old is in "veggies are icky" mode, but only if she actually SEES the veggies. I've been getting pretty creative at hiding veggies in the dishes I make and this one was the latest success.I still serve her pieces of the whole veggies that are hidden in the dish on the side to encourage her to eat them, but we're not forcing it and are just happy when she eats the hidden stuff.

This is a creamy pasta I've been making for a long time.
