Pasta Recipes

Taking just twelve units (I’m graduating, hopefully) this semester, I only have classes every Tuesdays and Thursdays of the week. That leaves me a lot of free time. I recently got back to trying out different mediums of art and cooking too. So far, I’ve made two pasta dishes that are edible. My family and I were able to eat it.

Pasta Recipe #1: Spicy Tuna Spaghetti

This was a product of total boredom. I didn’t have anything to do last weekend so I just went through our supplies. The initial plan was Spaghetti Sardines but that’s way too tricky to make, so I settled with this. I would have loved it better if it were tuna in water but the rest of my family loved the flavor of the tuna in oil.

1. Saute onion and garlic in oil.
2. Add sliced tomato.
3. Add canned tuna in oil and red pepper. Season with pepper and salt.
4. Add cooked spaghetti pasta.
5. Serve with cheese on top.

Pasta Recipe #2: Cream Macaroni

Cooked this one last Friday for my mom and I’s breakfast and lunch. I sent the pic to our family group chat and my sister (who was at work that time) told me to cook it again for Saturday. I did and they liked it, although I still find it difficult to hit the right seasoning. It’s bland but with the right amount of bacon and cheese, it’s perfect.

I call this pasta sitting on cheese.

1. Fry bacon bits until crispy. Set aside.
2. Saute onion and garlic in oil and butter.
3. Add all purpose cream and water. Let it simmer then season with pepper and salt.
4. Add macaroni pasta and bacon bits.
5. Add cheese and heat until it melts. When serving, you may add some bacon bits and cheese for toppings.

Posting these here so I don’t forget them 😂
