This photo was taken by Ayana Grace before trying a serving from one of her favorite pasta dishes. As a matter of fact, I learned cooking Tuna-Lemon Pasta from her. This is just my second trial, this time, using Fusilli spirals.


A very simple dish which you can make in less than 20 minutes. Here's how.

Ingredients:

250 gms Fusilli pasta
2 cloves minced garlic
1 medium onion, sliced thinly
1 can (420 gms) CenturyTuna Flakes in oil
juice of 1 piece lemon
1/4 medium green bell pepper, cut into small cubes

Steps:
1. Cook Fusilli pasta according to package instructions. Set aside.
2. Using the oil from the canned tuna, sautee garlic and onion. 
3. Add tuna flakes. Simmer for 2 minutes. 
4. Add lemon juice and bell pepper. Simmer for another minute.
5. Pour tuna mixture over pasta and serve.

Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta: A Remake

There's a saying that goes, "One is enough, two is too much..." Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year.

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the  long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family.

This post appeared in my Facebook memories today. I'm glad it did! I featured this salad in my FB page a year ago.  Alugbati  (Malabar Spinach)  Salad (Ensaladang Alugbati). This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
