If you are looking for a particular recipe, click the link, <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a> and use the search feature on the right sidebar near the top .

You might also want to join <a href="http://www.cuisineraclub.com/home.php">Cuisinera Club</a> and get free recipes and a chance to join monthly cooking demos. I will be there too so it&#8217;s a chance to meet each other.<img src="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/anchoy-caper-pasta.jpg" alt="anchoy-caper-pasta" title="anchoy-caper-pasta" width="400" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1159" />Who says cooking has to be labor-intensive? Preparing filipino dishes can entail so much preparation and if you are feeling lazy, there are alternatives like  easy to cook recipes that are just as delicious.  I got invited to a <a href="http://www.cuisineraclub.com/home.php">Dona Elena Cuisenra Club</a> cooking demo on &#8220;Easy to Cook Recipes&#8221; at the Podium last saturday with a presentation of 3 easy to cook recipes. Even your teenage kids or siblings can prepare this pasta dish.  I have prepared a similar pasta in the past and my kids loved it.  This attractive dish can also be great for parties or when you suddenly have surprise guests. You don&#8217;t need to call fastfood chains to deliver food to your home. </p>
<p><b>Ingredients</b></p>
<p>1/4 cup Dona Elena Pure Olive Oil<br />
10 pieces Garlic cloves, peeled<br />
1 Tablespoon Chili flakes (dried)- this is optional if you don&#8217;t like spicy dishes<br />
20 pieces Dona Elena Anchovy Fillets (you can substitute with spanish sardines)<br />
2 cups Cherry tomatoes, cut in half<br />
1/4 cup Dona Elena Capers, drained.<br />
To taste salt and pepper<br />
250 grams Penne Pasta<br />
for garnish, parsley chopped<br />
<span id="more-1158"></span></p>
<p><b>Procedure</b></p>
<p>1. Heat the olive oil in a small pot. Add the garlic and chilies. Cook the garlic until it becomes soft and golden brown.</p>
<p>2. Add the anchovies and stir until the fillets break down.</p>
<p>3. Add the Cherry tomatoes and capers then cook until tender about 5 minutes.</p>
<p>4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.</p>
<p>5. Mix the sauce with the pasta and add a little water if pasta is too dry.</p>
<p>6. Garnish with chopped parsley and parmesan cheese.</p>
<p>Yield: 3 to 4 persons</p>

I will be there too so it&#8217;s a chance to meet each other.<a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/laing-pasta.jpg"><img src="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/laing-pasta-300x198.jpg" alt="laing-pasta" title="laing-pasta" width="300" height="198" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1138" /></a> I never tasted Laing Pasta until I had it for a Goldilocks event  last  Friday. (<strong>You might want to read my winning entry of the <a href="http://pinoyfood.nimrodel.net/2009/07/13/youre-the-1-goldilocks/">You&#8217;re the 1, Goldilocks</a> where Goldilocks judged me as first prize winne</strong>r). I thought it was such a novel idea,  similar to the pesto pasta that we often prepare at home.  It is our own version of pinoy pasta.  When I tasted it though, it wasn&#8217;t that delicious as I imagined it to be. I think the laing was too dry, lacked some meat and &#8220;keso&#8221;. I imagined eating laing with &#8220;kesong puti&#8221;. So here is what I prepared at home and made my own pata laing a bit moist and added &#8220;kesong puti&#8221; </p>
<p>You will need:</p>
<p>1. Laing- To prepare laing, read my <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/recipes/bicol-laing-gabitaro-leaves-cooked-in-coconut-milk/">laing recipe</a> and  skip steps 4 and 5. Reduce the laing until you have the right consistency for the pasta. I am sure you have an idea on the consistency of your pasta mix.</p>
<p>2. Boiled Pasta noodles.</p>
<p>3. As a twist, use shredded &#8220;kesong puti&#8221; or cottage cheese instead of the  usual cheddar cheese or parmesan cheese.</p>
<p>4. When serving the Laing pasta, serve the laing and pasta separately so one can choose to decide the amount of the laing or pasta.&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>

<p>I started my herb garden when we moved to our new home. It&#8217;s a great feeling to pick freshly homegrown basil and add it to our pasta. This afternoon, I cooked Shrimp and Pasta with Pesto sauce to make up for the Lechon Manok that I was supposed to buy.  </p>

<p>5.  Add the 2/3 of the  olive oil, cheese, salt and pepper.</p>
<p>6. Blend a few more seconds.</p>
<p>7.  The resulting blend should be  a dark green lumpy mixture.</p>
<p>8. Mix the pesto with the cooked pasta.</p>
<p><b>Prepare the Shrimps</b></p>
<p>1/2 kilo small tiger prawns</p>
<p>1/2 cup red tomatoes (diced)</p>
<p>one head garlic minced</p>
<p>1/2 cup Olive Oil</p>
<p><u>Directions</u></p>
<p>1. Heat Olive oil.</p>
<p>2. Saute garlic. When brown, add red tomatoes.</p>
<p>3. Add the prawns and cook until orange.</p>
<p>4. Add a dash of salt.</p>
<p>5. Toss the shrimp mixture to the pasta-pesto mixture.</p>
<p>Top with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.<br />

If you are looking for a particular recipe, click the link, <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a> and use the search feature on the right sidebar near the top .

Before Jollibee or even Tropical Hut came out with the Filipino version of the Italian Spaghetti, there was Makati Supermarket&#8217;s spaghetti sold in their coffee shop in the early sixties. This is probably how the sweetish Filipino spaghetti evolved.  A popular American blogger once commented that our Jollibee spaghetti tasted horrible. It must have seemed different from Italian spaghetti since the latter is sour. Filipino spaghetti has sweet sauce.</p>
<p> Filled with vienna sausage, ham strips, ground beef and grated cheese, the  sauce  of Makati Supermarket&#8217; spaghetti is sweet with a tinge of spiciness. When I was in college during the mid-seventies, my dorm-mates and I would travel all the way from the UP campus to Makati Supermarket in Ayala. The supermarket does not exist anymore. These days you can eat their spaghetti at Cash and Carry Supermarket along , President Osmena Highway (South Superhighway) near Buendia Makati City and Makati Supermarket in Alabang.</p>
<p>A reader pointed out to me that some evidence of an even earlier birth of the “pinoy spaghetti” exists in the memoirs of Gen Douglas McArthur (yes the “I shall return guy”). I am not able to pull the line verbatim but it went mostly like this:</p>
<blockquote><p>
this sauce, so sweet on spaghetti, hardly seems like spaghetti sauce but it is good.</p></blockquote>
<p>Through the years, I developed my own Filipino-Style Spaghetti Sauce. If you are in a hurry, you can always buy those ready-to-use Filipino Style Spaghetti sauce sold at the supermarket. But let me tell you, there is nothing more srcumptious than cooking spaghetti sauce in your own special touch. Here is my recipe which you can always innovate.</p>
<p><span id="more-937"></span></p>
<p><b>Sauce</b><br />
500 grams spaghetti noodles<br />
1/2 cup olive oil<br />
1 head garlic, minced<br />
1/4 kilo ground beef<br />
1/4 kilo ground pork<br />
5 pieces hot dog sliced diagonally<br />
1/4 cup vienna sausage, sliced<br />
1/4 cup sweet ham, sliced in small squares (1/2 inch by 1/2 inch)<br />
1 bottle banana catsup (don&#8217;t substitute!)<br />
1 cup chopped onions<br />
1 cup tomato sauce<br />
1 cup water<br />
1/8 teaspoon black pepper<br />
1 bay leaf<br />
1/2 cup chopped green and red bell pepper (some don&#8217;t really like pepper so this may be optional)<br />
1/8 cup brown sugar<br />
1 teaspoon oregano<br />
salt and pepper to taste<br />
1/2 cup grated cheese</p>
<p>Procedure</b></p>
<p>    1. Cook spaghetti noodles according to package instructions.</p>
<p>     2.  In a <i>kawali</i> or wok, sauté garlic and onions in olive oil.</p>
<p>3.  Combine ground beef, ground pork, bay leaf, green and red bell pepper and a cup of water in the wok.  Allow to simmer for 10 minutes.</p>
<p>     4.  Add tomato sauce, banana catsup and  allow to simmer for 10 more minutes</p>
<p>      5.  Add brown sugar, vienna sausage, sweet ham and  hotdogs. Simmer for  5 minutes.</p>
<p>6. Add a little more water (maybe 1/2 cup more) till you get your desired consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.</p>
<p>     7.  Serve separately with cooked spaghetti noodles and grated cheese on top.<br />

<p>Here is the recipe for the day from <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a>. If you are looking for a particular recipe, click the link, <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a> and use the search feature on the right sidebar near the top . I&#8217;m sorry if I don&#8217;t get to send you a recipe every day of the week. You might also want to join <a href="http://www.cuisineraclub.com/home.php">Cuisinera Club</a> and get free recipes and a chance to join monthly cooking demos. I will be there too so it&#8217;s a chance to meet each other.<img src="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/tuna-spaghetti.jpg" alt="" title="tuna-spaghetti" width="450" height="298" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-894" />During our dorm days at Sampaguita Residence Hall at UP Diliman, my aunt shared with me her fabulous Tuna Spaghetti. I remember preparing this dish one year for our annual Open House at &#8220;Sampa.&#8221; Check it out!</p>
<p>For every pack of Italian spaghetti (regular-sized box of 500 grams), use the following:</p>
<p>2 cans of tuna or tuna flakes or approximately 1 cup (in oil or water, your preference)<br />
2 cans of tomato sauce or around 2 cups (I did not say tomato paste)<br />
1 box of grated Kraft cheddar cheese or 1 cup (225 grams- the same size as a bar of butter)<br />
2 cans of Campbell&#8217;s cream of mushroom soup<br />
1/2 cup of mushrooms, sliced<br />
pepper to taste<br />
salt to taste<br />
dash of Italian seasoning</p>
<p><span id="more-137"></span></p>
<p><strong>Procedure:</strong></p>
<p>1. Make the sauce first.</p>
<p>Saute the following ingredients in a little oil (2 tbsps.): 1/2 head of garlic that has been macerated (or less garlic, if you prefer) and 1/2 an onion, diced. Saute until the onion looks quite transparent.</p>
<ul>
<li>Add the tuna then the sliced mushrooms.</li>
<li>Add the tomato sauce and Campbell&#8217;s cream of mushroom soup. Add water to fill into 1 Campbell Soup can and add to the mixture.</li>
<li>Then, add a little water inside the tomato sauce&#8217;s can (swish it around a bit so the rest of the tomato sauce mixture is mixed with the water). Add to the tuna mixture.</li>
<li>Season the mixture according to taste. Make it slightly salty so that when the tuna mixture is mixed in with the cooked spaghetti noodles, it will taste just right.</li>
</ul>
<p>2. Cook the noodles.</p>
<ul>
<li>Boil water in your Dutch Oven or huge cooking pot. Add some oil and salt.</li>
<li>When the water boils, add the spaghetti noodles. If you like, halve the noodles.</li>
<li>Cook until &#8220;al dente.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p>3. It&#8217;s best to mix the sauce and noodles and arrange them on a serving platter like a pyrex dish.</p>
<p>4. Garnish with Queso de Bola or Magnolia or Kraft Cheddar Cheese.&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>

Another story is that it was the favorite recipe of the girls themselves. Yet another  version  of the putanesca recipe is that the name is only descriptive. Whatever the origin, the girls love flavors of Putanesca.  I usually cook this pasta dish during birthdays or anniversary celebration. It&#8217;s so easy to cook.<br />

1 cup water<br />
6 whole tomatoes, stewed and chopped<br />
Basil and Rosemary to taste</p>
<p>2 cans anchovies in olive oil (no capers) , served separately<br />
Parmesan Cheese to sprinkle<br />
Pasta noodles</p>
<p><span id="more-202"></span></p>
<p>1.  Heat olive oil.</p>
<p>2.  Add garlic and onions. </p>
<p>3. Add chopped and cooked tomatoes.</p>
<p>4. Mix the tomato paste with 1 cup water and add to the mixture.</p>

If you are looking for a particular recipe, click the link, <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a> and use the search feature on the right sidebar near the top .

I will be there too so it&#8217;s a chance to meet each other.I normally cook Creamy Carbonara but here is a recipe for those that can&#8217;t stand creamy pasta sauce. Here is the traditional Spaghetti Carbonara recipe which tastes just as heavenly as creamy carbonara.</p>
<p><b>Spaghetti</b></p>
<p>500 grams spaghetti<br />
6  quarts salted boiling water<br />
1 tablespoons vegetable oil</p>
<p><img src='http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/carbonara.jpg' alt='carbonara.jpg' /></p>
<p>1. Add spaghetti noodles to salted boiling water, bring water back to a boil.<br />
2. Cook spaghetti until <i>Al Dent</i> (barely tender) about 6-8 minutes (Tasting is the only way to test doneness. Never overcook pasta)<br />
3. Add oil during the last 2 minutes. To keep spaghetti from sticking together wen it is drained.<br />
4. Drain but leave hot, ready to use.</p>
<p><span id="more-201"></span></p>
<p><b>Sauce</b></p>
<p>6-8 slices lean bacon, cut into large pieces<br />
1 tablespoon olive oil<br />
2- 3 small pieces garlic, minced (I prefer more garlic)<br />
4 egg whites<br />
2-3 tablespoons Coarsely grated Parmesan cheese<br />
Freshly grated black pepper to taste.</p>
<p>1. Cook bacon in olive oil crisp in moderate heat. If bacon is excessively fatty,  pour off some  of the bacon fat.</p>
<p>2.Add garlic during the last minute of cooking.</p>
<p>3. Working quickly, blend hot bacon-garlic sauce into hot spaghetti noodles in heated serving bowl.</p>
<p>4. Work in eggs quickly with grated cheese, tossing spaghetti.</p>
<p>5. Add pepper to taste.</p>
<p>6. Eggs will harden from the heat of the fat and spaghetti.</p>
<p>7. Serve at once. Delicious with Tossed green Salad and your favorite wine.&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>

<p>Here is the recipe for the day from <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a>. If you are looking for a particular recipe, click the link, <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a> and use the search feature on the right sidebar near the top . I&#8217;m sorry if I don&#8217;t get to send you a recipe every day of the week.

I will be there too so it&#8217;s a chance to meet each other.<img src="http://photos.the-protagonist.net/albums/albuo59/6_G.jpg" alt="noche buena" /><br />
One of the dishes I prepared for  our last Christmas day lunch in our old home in Makati in the year 2005 was Chicken Cannelloni. The young ones particularly raved the rich creamy Chicken Cannelloni. The recipe came from my sister, Lorna who modified it many times. I forgot to take a close-up photo of the Cannelloni dish but it&#8217;s the rectangular pyrex on the table. The great thing about Cannelloni is that I can prepare it a day before , freeze it and heat it on Christmas Day itself.  It takes the stress away from cooking so many dishes in one day.</p>
<blockquote><p>Cannelloni usually refers to rectangular pasta sheets that are rolled with a filling. However, sometimes the pasta dough is replaced with a cooked crepe, generally 3 to 4 inches in length and once rolled, one inch in diameter. After cooking the crepe (or boiling the pasta), it is typically filled with a savory stuffing which may include ricotta cheese, spinach, and various meats. It is then covered with a sauce, typically classic tomato or bechamel sauce, although many variations exist.</p></blockquote>
<p> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannelloni">wikipedia</a>)</p>
<p>My Cannelloni version uses  Bechamel sauce, chicken and ready made pasta as shown below:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear readers,</p>
<p>Here is the recipe for the day from <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a>. If you are looking for a particular recipe, click the link, <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com">pinoyfoodblog.com</a> and use the search feature on the right sidebar near the top . I&#8217;m sorry if I don&#8217;t get to send you a recipe every day of the week. You might also want to join <a href="http://www.cuisineraclub.com/home.php">Cuisinera Club</a> and get free recipes and a chance to join monthly cooking demos. I will be there too so it&#8217;s a chance to meet each other. <img src="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/carbonara.jpg" alt="" title="carbonara" width="450" height="339" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-747" />The <a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/recipes/spaghetti-carbonara/">Real Carbonara Spaghetti</a> is not really creamy. The noodles are coated in eggs and cheese. There is another way to cook Spaghetti Carbonara using processed foods at the grocery. This is really handy when you suddenly have guests that arrive.  The canned goods comprise of canned mushroom soup, cream, ham, bacon and fetuccine noodles.  You are also assured that the taste will come out a best seller. Try this next time when you have surprise guests.  Here is the creamy carbonara recipe:</p>
<p><b>Ingredients</b></p>
<p>2 cans Creamed of Mushroom Soup (preferably Campbell)<br />
250 ml All Purpose Cream (Nestle)<br />
200 grams sweet ham, in small squares<br />
200 grams bacon, shredded<br />
Spinach Fettucine (400 grams noodles are green and I like the contrast of the white creamy carbonara sauce against the green noodles)<br />
1 head garlic<br />
a dash of nutmeg<br />
a dash of pepper<br />
Olive Oil<br />
1/2 cup parmesan cheese for topping</p>
<p><span id="more-328"></span></p>
<p><b>Preparation</b></p>
<p>1. Prepare the pasta (fettuccine noodles) based on instructions. Set Aside.</p>
<p>2.  Fry the bacon until brown and not too crispy. Set Aside 1/4 for topping and the rest for the sauce.</p>
<p>3. In a sauce pan, saute garlic with olive oil. Add ham and 3/4 of the fried  bacon. </p>
<p>4. Add the 2 cans of creamed mushroom soup with 2 cans of water. </p>
<p>5. Add the cream.  Mix well.</p>
<p>6. Season with nutmeg and pepper.</p>
<p>7. If the bacon  or ham you bought was  too salty that it made the sauce salty as well, just mix in additional cream to neutralize the salty taste.</p>
<p>8. Serve the sauce and noodles separately.  Top with bacon bits.</p>
<p>Serves 15-20 persons<br />
