Tri Color Fusilli with Salmon & Bacon


I've made this calorific pasta for our New Year's dinner . It was a bit dry as I forgot to add milk . But  I added some cream cheese and it really adds a more creaminess to this dish , I didn't add too much since I'm going to add milk tsk ! - but when I'll make this again , will add more of it :P ^-^" . My plan was to use the long pasta , uhmm , for a long life ? hee hee but of course with so much going on and so little time , it just flew out of my mind . Good thing there's still Chinese New Year here :D Will cook pasta using spaghetti heh ! , so what if it's not a part of their CNY tradition having to eat pasta during that festival ? hahahaha

  3. I really do like what you came up with here. Most of the time we eat slabs of salmon, but breaking it down to use in a pasta dish sounds so much better! Salmon, bacon and cream cheese-those three are what made me save this recipe. Now I am ready to eat-delicious post Anne!
