#Cuayx

I had to "cheat" my diet so I could eat dinner here tonight with my mom. Haha. (Anyways, that's the reason for the lack of food related posts. I have officially placed myself under "diet mode" for a healthier summer body.)

So I've been wanting to eat at Cuayx. From the name of the restaurant itself, it gets you enough enthusiasm to go eat there.

The interiors of the restaurant, which was very home-y and rustic if I may say so.

I was being random today and since it was my day off, I decided why not make a Black Sambo. Since recently a staff nurse of mine in the OR gave me her recipe. I bet I had to share some of these tomorrow in the OR. Let them taste my masterpiece. Err, no. HAHA.

Yesterday I wanted to cook something healthy and easy to do for lunch. There wasn't much inside the pantry since my mom decided not to give in to my impulsive desire to hoard grocery items for months now (since it always ends up being spoiled because I keep forgetting I have these items to cook. Err. Anyways.) but there were a few things available ---

So here's my really simple take on the Creamy Tuna Penne

Nikon_065

 

Ingredients:

1 500g pack of Penne pasta

2 cans of Century Tuna Chunks in Water

3 packs of Del Monte Carbonara Gourmet Sauce

1 box of Quickmelt cheese, grated

1/2 cup water

salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp sesame oil

 

Directions:

1. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Set aside the cooked pasta.

2. Heat oil in a pan and saute the Tuna chunks for 2 - 3 minutes.

3. Pour in the Carbonara sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add water until you have achieved desired consistency.

5. Before serving, top with grated cheese.

 

It's quite simple to do, really. I ended up bringing some to work and my staff loved it. Hehe.
