Pasta With Tuyo.
Got this from http://www.pinoycook.net/. I’ve cooked this several times already. And I must say that I love this up to the last strand of pasta. It’s healthy, has lots of veggies, fish, olive oil. I used fresh basil leaves the first time I prepared this, then later on McCormick na lang. We had this for dinner tonight, paired with fried chicken.
Pasta With Tuyo (dried herring)
Ingredients:
200 grams of pasta
2 large white onions
1 whole garlic
4-5 pcs. of tuyo in olive oil, drained
half a kilo of ripe, plump tomatoes
2 green bell peppers (you can use red but green is a good contrast to the red tomatoes)
a handful of fresh basil leaves
1/4 to 1/3 cup of olive oil (you can use plain olive oil, the oil in the jar of tuyo or you can combine the two)
3 tbsps. of butter
salt and pepper
grated parmesan or romano cheese for garnish (optional)
Cooking Procedures:
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and keep warm.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the vegetables. Coarsely chop the onions, dice the tomatoes, peel and finely chop the garlic. Cut the bell peppers into halves, remove the seeds, cut off the membranes, then coarsely chop. Chop the basil leaves as well. If fresh basil leaves are not available, substitute about one teaspoonful of dried basil.
Flake the tuyo or chop them if you want them to be almost invisible.
Heat the olive oil and butter together in a sauce pan. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant. Add the rest of the ingredients, season with salt and pepper, and cook for a few minutes or just until the vegetables start to soften. Add the cooked pasta to the tuyo and vegetables and toss to coat the pasta evenly.
Serve with grated cheese on the side.
Enjoy!

[…] was able to buy fresh basil from the grocery the last time so I cooked pasta with tuyo the other day. I had some leftover pasta from that so I tried cooking tomato basil pasta. […]
