Pasta is so versatile that almost any type of oil, cream, or tomato-based sauce could work – but what if it’s seafood curry laksa, kimchi, and tacos we’re talking about? Local home-based kitchen The Blonde Dough makes sure that their 3 unconventional takes on pasta work, and they actually do.

The Blonde Dough merges the popular Asian soup (laksa), Korean side dish (kimchi), and Mexican dish (taco) with different pasta noodles, served in ready-to-eat aluminum pans for easy delivery.

If you’re a fan of the Southeast Asian spicy soup, the Seafood Curry Laksa pasta is a must-try. Flavored fettuccine noodles are topped with the laksa works – juicy shrimps, fish cakes, and hard boiled eggs – and then served with the star of the show, which is the laksa broth sauce.

The orange sauce tastes just like the curry-based soup – creamy, fragrant, and really spicy – and is meant to be poured on your noodles. Perhaps the only con would be that the ratio of noodles to broth might not be enough, especially if you like your pasta extra saucy.

If you’re looking for something cheesy, check out The Blonde Dough’s Kimchi Baked Mac and Cheese. Macaroni noodles are mixed in a two-cheese sauce and homemade kimchi, and then topped with crispy panko bread crumbs. In one spoonful you get the savory flavors from the cheese, a spicy-tangy bite from the fresh kimchi, and crunch from the bread crumbs.

For creamier consistency, don’t forget to reheat your mac and cheese in the oven before eating! If it’s at room temperature, the cheese won’t be as gooey or creamy as you may want it to be.

The Taco Pasta is a dish fans of Mexican flavors should try. Fusili is tossed in a flavorful chili con carne that tastes just like an authentic ground beef taco. It’s mixed in with fresh tomatoes, corn kernels, red beans, and cilantro to add some freshness, and then topped with multi-colored tortilla chips for texture and more color.

The Laksa pasta costs P950 good for 4 to 5 people, and P1,700 for 8 to 10 people. The Mac and Cheese costs P750, good for 5 to 6 people, and the Taco Pasta goes for P950 for 4 to 5 people, and P1,700 for 8 to 10.

The Blonde Dough’s kitchen is based in Del Monte, Quezon City, and operates on a made-to-order basis. For orders, you can check out their Instagram page or text them at 09228365749. – Rappler.com
