Italian cuisine is wildly popular in Thailand, especially pasta. In Bangkok, there are some best Italian restaurants outside Italy. (Of course, there are not so great ones too, but that's everywhere, I guess.)
Not only do the Thais enjoy spaghetti, but we also cook it at home. However, sometimes finding Italian ingredient can be tough, so we tried substitute with the ingredients found in our kitchen and finally came up with our own way to create the dish. Spaghetti Pad Kee Mao is a spaghetti recipe that seasoned mainly with Thai seasonings. It is hot, aromatic and flavorful.
This spaghetti dish is delicious and especially an easy one. I have been pre-occupied lately with some food projects that I’m working on before leaving for Thailand at the end of this month. Not having enough time to cook multi-dish meals, this quick and easy pasta recipe often comes in handy and saves our family dinner.
