We love pasta.
Pasta is so delicious, but it is not healthy at all .. So consume it in moderation 😉
it is possible to make so many different dishes with pasta.
This pasta dish is a big big hit at our house. Alexander loves it ♥
It is even better when there are leftover that he can bring for lunch at school.
I always use big pasta, like rigatoni or mezze maniche for this dish.
They are beautiful & delicious.
This dish is filled with great taste & delicious tiger prawns, so there are a great texture in the dish from prawns & carrots.
We normally don’t eat that much tiger prawns, or shrimps at all at home, but we love it in this dish ♥
I have a bit of a hard time with tiger prawns, as they taste very good when you cook them the right way, but they are far from climate friendly – All tiger prawns are farmed(!!) & they are not at all climate friendly to farm + they are filled with antibiotics.
There are also a lot of other cruel stuff being done to these prawns – But it is possible to find farmers, that are humane
