In the Kitchen will be the category where I will post some of the recipes I cook for my family. I promise you these are super-duper easy recipes because I’m really not an expert in the kitchen plus the fact that I don’t want recipes with so many steps/how-tos. Just 4-6 instructions, anything more than that, I skip the page of my recipe book and look for simpler recipes. So newbies in the kitchen, I hope you’ll try my recipes or suggestions and let’s share kitchen secrets!
Just last week, I received a package containing Nestle All Purpose Cream thru Nuffnang Philippines with some ingredients for a pasta dish. It looks like the package arrived a bit late because it’s supposed to be something for the Christmas festivities. But with a print-out of a pasta recipe***, an EVOO, a box of penne pasta, and Nestle All Purpose Cream, I figured I can whip up a feast anytime! Hence, our #OUFT, or “Our Ulam for Tonight”! Not exactly an “ulam” but I just want to use the hashtag :p.
I was able to cook a Tuna Asparagus Pasta dish in under an hour! I love the penne pasta because it only takes 11 minutes to cook, as per the box instructions. And the white sauce is a no-brainer because it’s just Nestle All Purpose Cream. So thanks again to Nestle for our dinner.

Tuna Asparagus Pasta
Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1/2 cup onions, minced
1 8g Maggi Magic Sarap
1 can Century Tuna flakes in vegetable oil (or you can also use the one in brine), drain the oil/brine
1 1/2 cups asparagus spears
1 pack Nestle All Purpose Cream
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
200 g penne rigate, cooked al dente
Procedure:
- Heat olive oil and saute garlic and onions until limp.
- Stir in Maggi Magic Sarap, tuna flakes, and asparagus one after the other.
- Stir in Nestle All Purpose Cream and parsley and season to taste.
- Toss gently with pasta. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve warm garnished with parsley.
Done! Remember not to overcook the asparagus. And thank you Peachy of The Peach Kitchen for teaching me how to cook it, lol!
***Note:
The recipe included calls for salmon but I don’t have salmon at hand, and the easiest substitute is…. tuna!
This is my kind of dish. I love tuna and anything that goes with it. Thanks for the recipe.
