RECIPE: TKG's 30-Minute Pasta

Here's an easy-to-prepare pasta recipe that I usually cook whenever we crave for it but doesn't really have the time (and the ingredients) to prepare a gourmet pasta dish. I usually use whatever ingredients I can find inside the fridge and pantry. I do however, always have a pack of pasta sauce and pasta in the pantry for emergency cravings.



Ingredients:

300g fusilli pasta
1 pack Clare Ole Filipino Style Pasta Sauce
250g cocktail hotdog
1 medium size onion, minced
olive oil
water (optional)
salt
ground black pepper
garlic powder
dried basil
cumin (optional)
grated quezo de bola


Boil the pasta until al dente. While waiting for it to cook, mince the onion, and slice the hotdog into desired length. Strain the pasta once its cooked and set aside. In a pan, cook the hotdog in water first before adding some oil and onion. Stir fry but be careful not to brown it. Add the tomato sauce and dilute with water. Add some black pepper, garlic powder, basil, and cumin. I like adding cumin to my meat pasta dishes because it enhances the flavor, and smells nice too! Allow the sauce to boil for a while before adding the pasta. Grate some quezo de bola and you're all set.

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity! 

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market  is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow!
