I should admit that I was not a real big fan of pasta. Even in my childhood that all kids were going crazy for it, I would probably go for fish!I know, strange! As the time went by, pasta served me well for many of my studying-living alone days as well as for my current busy working days. I understood that I underestimated it.. So I treat it with more respect now; I serve it with salmon..!

Tip!
- If you think the raw fresh onion is too strong for you, you can just incorporate it in the sauce!
- Instead of nutmeg you can put a laurel leave! It gives a whole different flavor!
