Fish n things. Yes I do eat a lot of fish, so sue me haha
My husband doesn't eat meat (spit it out as a child and they tried to make him eat it). So, I respect that and the majority of my pasta dishes are without meat. However he will eat fish, and I too, cook it often. He has always been thin and it drives me crazy because he eats cheeses and deserts.
Also, cooking fish is an art. It can get dry really fast if overcooked. My compliments.4 -

I really hope ppl here look at your pics and do take a notice of how Italians cook their pasta dishes vs the north american way.
You mean "al dente" instead of overcooked? That's so easy--use a durum grain pasta always (if using dry) and if the package says 10 min cooking time, take it out at 9 min. I always take a piece out at about 8 min and taste. Different companies can make a slight difference. When cooking pasta watch the clock like a hawk or set a timer.3 -
Roasted chicken, potatoes and broccoli. Carrot ginger soup on the side.

@kcmcbee, thanks! Spring rolls are so easy. I don't know why I don't make it more often! Kids LOVE it.1

Roast chicken day 4. Sesame noodles and spiralized carrot topped with chicken and julienned cucumber. Not very photogenic I’m afraid.0

@weatherking2019 How do you cook your spring rolls? Are they baked or air fried?1

I air fried! For this one, I cooked the contents and wrapped it up. Then placed in the basket, sprayed oil and done!
Less calories and much faster too.4 -
Steamed brown rice and Chinese style mushroom curry.

Our evening meal. Pretty simple and fast. Simple frittata, just eggs, salt and EVOO. Chopped tomatoes w garlic, fresh basil, a little oregano, lemon pepper, and EVOO. Toasted leftover pieces of bread, and tuna salad--tuna, chopped green olives, lemon pepper, paprika, lemon juice, and mayonaise.

That and drenched in heavy sauce, all kinds of cheese etc.
I always cook my pasta 3/4 time of what it says on the box for bought. Then it all gets finished in the pan tossed with whatever and pasta water. And thats another thing, ppl typically just drain the pasta water and let the pasta sit there waiting to be covered in sauce on the plate. Also a nono in my books.
I usually drain my pasta in a colander and quickly put it back in the pot. Then I put on whatever sauce I've prepared and give it a good stir. Extra sauce is sometimes left next to the pot so extra can be put on top--like lentils, or clams (I just poured off the liquid into the pasta, stirred and let everyone put on their own clams). Normally, everyone dishes their own plates so they can take as much as they want (or not).
As I once said, I learned to cook simply from my husbands family. Fewer ingredients, but higher quality, so you can taste each one. I get your point about North America, too many things are thrown in.1 -

And the rice paper did not fall apart in the oven? Or are you using the yellow doughy wrappers?
used this. And no, it's just fine! Crunchy and all.2 -
