Ever since I have 2 kids, I am always looking for easy to prepare dishes which takes less time to cook and something Darrius will enjoy as he has been a little fussy lately. As I have to cook 2 meals a day, sometimes I really have to scratch my head to think of what to cook since PiggyBeng can be quite fussy too.
Kids being kids, Darrius loves Western food more than his daddy so I'll try to cook stuff that PiggyBeng likes least for lunch. It is during lunch I will cook pasta or spaghetti which PiggyBeng tried to avoid as he thinks these carbo food are too fattening!
Being pressed for time, I don't cook these sauces from scratch anymore which I used to do last time. Now, I'll just grab a few cans of those pasta sauce each time I visit the supermarkets and they come in real handy when I want to have a quick bite for both Darrius and myself.
Campbell's came out with quite a few pasta sauce recently and I guessed this is the perfect time to try all of them... With some frozen fresh scallops stash from our reunion dinner, I made some yummy cream pasta that don't require much time.
