Choosing the short pasta when the long ones were out is smart, the sauce does the heavy lifting anyway. Ice cream as a remedy for a sniffle made me laugh, I support that science. Was your spaghetti sauce on the sweet side or more tangy today. Also, respect for checking every pechay leaf, that kind of care makes a rainy day soup taste extra comforting.
Hahaha, sometimes that ice cream can be effective too, haha - for emotional support, lolol. Ohh this one's on a tangy side, they used tomato paste and sauce. I like sweet but I also like this one. I just wish there's more cheese in it though to make it more creamier. Yesss, I don't want to find any worm in our soup, so better check it thoroughly.
Ice cream therapy is legit. Tangy tomato pasta hits different, and extra cheese would totally round it out. Even a little evaporated milk can make it silkier without turning it too sweet. Your salt soak and careful greens check are spot on, because crunchy radish and pechay are only fun when they are worm free.
