Insane White Garlic Sauce

I don’t often get to eat Halal cart food, but when I do I usually ask them to just absolutely drench it in white sauce—which is weird because I generally don’t like mayonnaise based sauces. However, they always leave me wanting more. Just a little

Creamy Karasumi Pasta With Roasted Radish Chips

Now that things have settled down a little in my life for this moment in time (including the terrifying ordeal of getting the dojo inspected for NYS COVID compliance), my creative juices are flowing so I decided to make a simple, but elegant pasta dish
