Rendang Rigatoni - tradition into fusion
we're not sure if we're offending the nonnas or the neneks with this one... >.<
while some flinch at the idea of Italian pasta with traditional Rendang, we thought that this combination was GENIUS! after all, wouldn't this basically be a Malay / Indonesian version of Ragu Pasta?
this was so heavenly and we came in for seconds because the combination of saucy rendang with pasta came together beautifully. the extra step of introducing the pasta into the sauce and tossing it together in the pot made all the difference - the flavours of the sauce gets soaked into the al dente rigatoni pieces which rounds it all up perfectly.
additionally, Chef Azfar takes the recipe up a notch with a garnishing of sour cream and instant pickled shallots which lends a bright acidity, balancing out the coconutty richness of Rendang.
