  Cherry tomato salad with red onion

I just have two words to describe this salad: simple and refreshing. After a long day, I only expected something simple yet impressive for my dinner, so that I can enjoy the weekend soon.

Fettucine with creamy spinach and roast tomato

 Fettucine with creamy spinach and roast tomatoes

I was very amazed at this pasta. This is the first time I cooked spinach pasta and applied spinach cream as the sauce to the pasta. The outcome was a big surprise to me. It was very impressive with the contrast between the deep red color of the roast tomatoes and the deep green color of the spinach cream.

And there was nothing I could complain about the taste. It was very refreshing with gentle fragrance of the spinach cream. The tomatoes, after being roasted, became soft and very sweet. The sweetness was very concentrated due to the moisture lost during roasting. The outside of the tomato wedges were a bit dry, made them a bit chewy, whereas the inside were very tender and juicy. I really loved the roast tomato, especially when I combined everything on my serving plate in a bite, I couldn’t resist the temptation to eat more. I should have tried this pasta sooner, I thought.
