My kids love spaghetti or pretty much anything with noodles. Ramen, Udon, Spaghetti, Yakisoba, Soba, Tamago Udon, you name it. I think every kid in the world loves dishes with noodles, probably why they are such a common dish across many country cuisines.

But I love that my son loves Spaghetti al nero di seppia, as it’s one of my favorites. It’s squid ink pasta, which is a black color and turns your tongue and lips black while eating it. My son loves that part. 😉

And also my husband and I are very particular about pasta being cooked al dente. It seems most places we have tried in the US always overcook the pasta. So we have somewhat given up on dining out for pasta as the places we like are so far from us, it just isn’t worth it. However, we were lucky to find one pasta place in Little Tokyo, across the street from the Angel’s Brewery. It’s called Pasta e Pasta. Run by Japanese, but fantastic pasta AND it’s al dente. It’s the only pasta we eat out these days. Enjoy that tip!

Have a favorite pasta place, please share below in the comments! We would love to add it to our list. Perhaps we can get a rotation going.

This dish is also super easy to make, so it’s one of my go to dishes when I don’t have much time or want an quick and easy night. I love the colors in this dish and if you have a good source for high quality shrimp and organic broccoli, this dish is amazing. I like all my dishes to be subtle enough to where you really enjoy the taste by the simplicity of the protein and main ingredients.

The sauce or flavoring in a dish should never be the most important thing. Usually, it means you are hiding the taste and quality of the ingredients you are using. Sadly, this is why we don’t eat out that often, as too many restaurants procure very low quality ingredients. Which is a shame, because I’m sure their cooking skill and recipes are quite good, but I can always taste the low quality ingredients. No fun…as my husband would say…life is too short to not enjoy good food!
