Salmon Based Pasta Sauce - YUM!

I don't know what's with pasta why I'm so into it these past few months. I'd like to "believe" that pasta has less carbs than white rice (yes, Joe kid yourself much!). Nonetheless, I was soooo uber excited when I saw canned pink salmon at Gaisano City's Supermarket (of all places!). I think it costs P120 per can. Then, my imagination went wild on what sauce to make for my lunch. I was looking for Spinach to add to my pasta sauce to no avail. :(



Here are the ingredients:
1 can pink salmon
1 small can mushrooms
1 small can nestle cream
1/2 cup non fat milk
1 white onion - sliced
2 oz green olives
2 cloves garlic - chopped
2 tbsp oil
Juice of 1/4 lemon
1/4 cup cheese
12 basil leaves sliced thinly
pinch of brown sugar
salt and pepper

Pasta - Spinach fettucini

Procedure:
1. In a pan, saute garlic & onions in oil
2. Once garlic becomes golden brown or onions becomes translucent, add salmon (mash) then add the mushroom and olives. Saute for 2 mins.
3. Add milk, nestle cream and cheese. Bring to a boil until sauce thickens.
4. Add brown sugar, salt and peper.
5. Remove from heat then add basil leaves.

Here's the finished product:



And again, I forgot to take a photo of the plated dish because I was too hungry to remember. :( I highly recommend you try this out. Calling ALL SALMON Lovers out there! This is simply Fantabulous!!!

Pasta Sauce made from Left Over Lechon Manok!!

Audie and I felt hungry around 4:30am today. Both of us decided to go downstairs and cook something. At first he wanted to have oatmeal (daw) because he ate too much rice already. Hmm.... Good thing there was Left Over Lechon Manok that Risa made last night! Yes! It's homemade lechon manok. Risa roasted two chickens in open fire!!! Beat That!!!
