A FLAVOURFUL SPIN FOR TONIGHT'S

SPAGHETTI A

waken your taste buds and bring new flavour to your dinner table by trading in your traditional spaghetti for a new recipe.

Create this new take on an old classic, and explore why many chefs are turning to fish sauce as their secret ingredient. While fish sauce may be a surprising choice in an Italian-inspired entrĂŠe, just a couple of tablespoons can add smooth and savoury taste to complete your pasta. A gluten and lactose free ingredient, fish sauce can also substitute for pantry staples like soy sauce and salt. >>>
