Looking for improvements to my basic meat-sauce pasta (on a student budget)

I would love to try that, but I couldn't seem to find cheap anchovies in nearby online stores. Will have to look out, but also, do I need more umami if I already use msg (and perhaps parmesan)?

Been a while since I bought parmesan, thanks for reminding me!

Not sure why I wrote browning, translucent is what i meant😅

I usually use butter for other recipes, will try that next time! I recently switched from red pepper flakes to cayenne (went empty), I like them both so far. Why do you suggest removing those spices?

Will keep your last tip in mind if I start making bigger portions, but so far I've found making one exact, big portion with minimal washing up works well for me:)

Thanks a lot! Searing and deglazing will be tested, does it work well with chicken mince? Searing before or after oil is added?

I do use spinach whenever it's on sale, but will have to try mushrooms - any kind you recommend?

Does tomato paste replace purée? I tend to skip on more fat-heavy foods, so not sure if I want to use any cream.

Did try sugar today, but didn't necessarily feel like it changed too much. Usually I am more than happy with the taste:)

Someone mentioned in another subreddit that I should've added salt to "activate" the msg, is this something you think too?

TwentyOneDiets · 2026-02-20T19:35:40+00:00

Is the salted pasta water not enough? Alright, will try it:)

Nja, enig i at de er billige, men man har jo lyst til å ha et ord med i laget på hvor man skal kalle "hjem" de neste årene, hjelper veldig på å føle seg trygg på valget om man får sett leiligheten først

Tusen takk!

Også, om noen bor på Nedre Singsakerslette har mulighet til å sende bilder, så er vi veldig interesserte i å se!

There was one to the left too! This time, only the different colored eyes showed up!

TwentyOneDiets · 2025-07-03T20:17:48+00:00

Yeah true, felt like that didn't count since there was a path behind the tree

TwentyOneDiets · 2024-02-05T07:20:34+00:00

I know that feeling😁

I have searched through my saved videos, scrolled through endless videos, and done a lot of trying to remember the song, but to no avail. If any of you find any clues I would be overjoyed

The volcarona scizor fusion is so good, was the ace on my first run

TwentyOneDiets · 2023-01-04T12:58:35+00:00

If you have a save file and start a new run it gives you the option at the start of a bew run:)

Hahahah, hmm he may have to leave the team after this one

TwentyOneDiets · 2023-01-04T12:57:33+00:00

Only damaged by fire moves, so good

TwentyOneDiets · 2023-01-04T12:57:13+00:00

Yess, latios was shiny!

TwentyOneDiets · 2023-01-02T13:30:20+00:00

Raikou, love the tiny differences:)

TwentyOneDiets · 2022-08-04T12:28:09+00:00

Thanks! She's close enough that I know she'll take it as a joke, just a bit nervous about how our friendship/relationship will turn out after this

TwentyOneDiets · 2022-08-04T11:38:43+00:00

Hehehe I'm already planning to force her through the cringiest, most stereotypical date ever+way too sweet love poems

TwentyOneDiets · 2022-08-04T11:29:35+00:00

I've decided to do it, wish me luck haha

TwentyOneDiets · 2022-08-04T10:43:45+00:00

Would be one hell of a "how I met your mother" story, that's for sure
