Quick and Easy Tuna Pasta

With our crazy schedule this past few weeks, I can no longer afford to cook food that takes an hour or more to prepare. Rudel was also in no mood to wash the dishes. But after living on Kopitiam food for two straight weeks i couldn't take it anymore. I'm cooking!

And since we have no time to go to the grocery either i ransacked our pantry and found 1) chili corned tuna, 2) a can of chopped tomatoes and linguine. Hmmm... Tuna Pasta it is!

Side story: I've been on a hunt for canned tomatoes that isn't too sour. I've tried popular brands like Del Monte, Hunts, Heinz but all failed my taste test. Then i finally tried Cirio which i found in Fair Price Plus, Tampines. I've  never heard of this brand before but it said on the label that it was from Italy so it's worth a try i figured. 

It was indeed. It wasn't too sour and has a hint of natural sweetness of the tomatoes. Bingo!



I sautéed about a tsp. of garlic in a tsp of olive oil until lightly brown then added the tuna.  Finally, add the tomatoes then stir. Add about 1/4 cup of hot water (i reused the water from the pasta) and a some salt and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes and you're done. Easy peasy


Here's how it turned out. And oh I got to use some fresh basil from my mini garden (kilig!).

Hello

Welcome to my blog's new home. I decided to move it here because i find blogger easier to use than wordpress (if you must know).

Past few months have been really hectic. I can't even find time to cook anymore. How i wish this episode would end already. I miss my weekend hikes. I miss doing nothing. I miss our normal routine. So what have we been up to?


Hot yoga. This has been keeping me sane. I force myself to do this at least 3 times a week no matter how busy our schedule is. It has helped release all that STRESS!!



House hunting. Yes, we are finally moving out. Soon. The process of finding our new home has not been easy--let's just say too many bumpy roads along the way. But what's really difficult is the thought that I may not have this perfect sunrise view anymore after we move out.



Everyday before i go to work i take a picture of this spot. It's so beautiful.



Furniture hunting. This is the part i'm enjoying. It makes me giddy and excited. We are finally going to have our 'own'.
