Spicy Tuna and Sausage on Whole Wheat Fusili

 

I live for everything spicy and really tasty. I can eat something spicy any time of the day and still crave for it, the next time. That's how I was raised, having a Bicolana mother and a Bisaya father who learned how to a whole green chili as if it's fried chicken. This is nothing new to me, and so this is how I want my food, hot and spicy.

 

 

It was another lunch quality time with Matt that I needed to prepare for. Being me, and not having all the time in the world for grocery shopping, I always live off of what we have available in our pantry and fridge at home. So for this "lunch QT", I found my whole wheat pasta, leftover spicy Hungarian sausage that I got from Wielan and my ever reliable can of spicy tuna in oil. And so the cooking begins. By the way, I don't measure my ingredients, that's why I'm a better cook than a baker.

 

 

 

 

Everytime I cook, I am in a completely different zone. A good one at that. It's like work, but on a much different level. The different tasks involved just to get one dish out, is actually very tiring. The prep portion I learned to love. I hated it initially, because it was tiring. The cleaning up part, I am also in the process of learning to love. But overall, cooking has been very therapeutic, like when I had a phase that cleaning the toilet calms my nerves and helps put things in perspective. This now, helps me do that, well aside from other things like, massages, hugs.. Haha!

 

I am no pro, and just like in running, I don't claim to know everything or claim to be really good at it. I am an enthusiast and a foodie, that's why I love to cook.

 

Spicy Tuna and Sausage on Whole Wheat Fusili

 

Ingredients:

1 can spicy tuna in oil

2 pcs spicy Hungarian sausage, cut into pieces

whole wheat fusili pasta, cooked according to package directions

olive oil

garlic, chopped

onions, chopped

green chili, chopped

salt and white pepper to taste

my homemade chili garlic oil (as a condiment/topping)

 

Sauteed the sausage first to let the oil out, then throw in the garlic, onions and chili. Sautee till the latter ingredients are cooked. Add in a bit of olive oil, then the drained tuna flakes. Lastly, add in the cooked pasta and mix well so that every bit is coated with the oil. Serve hot and with the chili garlic oil to add more zing. Make sure to have lots of water with you to drink, if it gets too spicy. :p
