Spaghetti carbonara is a dish for all ages.

“The light texture makes the dish suitable for iftar [breaking-of-the-fast meal],” said Ahmad Gozali, chef de cuisine at Sapori Deli, Fairmont Jakarta hotel, adding that the creamy pasta was also suitable for kids.

“I also fast [during Ramadhan]. It is not recommended to eat spicy food when breaking the fast as doing so would not be good for the stomach,” he said.

While spaghetti carbonara seems like an easy meal, Ahmad shared that it was important to choose the right pan, good ingredients and not to overheat the cream. (asw)
