ReplyDeleteHello Miri! Besides the brilliant color, it was good and, ~~Spicy~~
ReplyDeleteThank you :~)
Two tablespoons of red chili flakes is a lot! You're brave. I hope that you served this one with lots of milk or better yet, white wine. It's rare that recommend that but I think that it would be perfect here. I've tried making bucatini before and wasn't satisfied with the result. Mine kept breaking. Perhaps you're on to something here.
ReplyDeleteHello Stevie, This dish is only for the hot and spicy ones!!
ReplyDeleteI agree some vino to cool down...
Bucatini can be hard to cook, my suggestion is keep checking minutes early while cooking.
Thank you :)
