Sorry for my lack of recipe posts recently, it's not that I'm not cooking or on a diet and in fact, I've been a very dutiful wife, cooking lots of yummy food for the wild boar. Just that I have been cooking lots of stuff I crave for which are mostly old recipes that I have posted.
I had my mind set on Jajangmyeon - Noodles in Black Bean Sauce earlier this week, but found out I had no black bean sauce after stir frying the minced meat. I stood in front of the fridge in awe starring at where the black bean sauce was supposed to be for quite awhile. I was so disappointed I just took whatever sauces were around. No jajangmyeon but spicy penne. Well at least I had my Korean noodle fix and it was very tasty.
I am sending this dish to Ruth of once upon a feast who is hosting this week's Presto Pasta Night.
