Hello hello, my darlings! How is your weekend going? 

I, for instance, celebrated it with an extended sleep schedule, some cleaning up, taking down Christmas decorations, and laptop work.

I started the year with a promise to you, actually with more promises but, one of them was to diversify more my content.

That’s being said, one you’ve already seen it, if not here it is. 

The second surprise is here. Baby steps are important in the changing process, so, I chose to extend my Kitchen Category with more than desserts. So, I invite you to join and try my culinary preferences.

As a disclaimer, I’m not dieting, and this is not a diet culture-related post. 

So, today I want to share one of my go-to pasta recipes, that can easily be transformed and recycled for the next day.

What you’ll need:

• 5 garlic cloves
• 1 medium onion
• half of a red pepper
• 1 big onion
• 200 g tuna in sunflower oil
• salt
• pepper
• chili powder
• thyme
• basil
• 100 g tomato sauce
• white wine
• 50 g cheese
• half a lemon
• 250 g pasta
• sunflower oil

Now, that I’ve made your next shopping list, it’s time to teach you how to make magic.

• First of all, peel the garlic and onion, wash the tomato and pepper. 
• Cut them small.

• Grate the cheese.
• Put water with a pinch of salt and a few drops of oil, to boil. When it boils, add the pasta
• In a big pan, add the oil from the tuna can, add some more drops of fresh sunflower oil.
• Add the chopped garlic and onion in the hot oil and constantly mix them, at low temperature.

• When it starts to catch color, add the pepper and also mix them continuously. 

• When all of them are softened, add the tomatoes, and mix them.

• Let them on fire until the juice decreases. 

• Add a shot of wine and mix, until it evaporates again, then adds 2 ladles of pasta water. Yeah, you heard it right. Trust me.

• Continue with mixing and adding pasta water and wine shots, until all the veggies are the same soft texture and an orange sauce is formed, but without making a puree.

• When you reached that texture, add the tuna. This is the moment when you add salt, pepper, thyme, and chili. 
• Also, is the moment when you turn fire to medium.

• When the sauce decreases again, add the tomato sauce and basil. 

• Mix it on fire, continuously for about 5 min, then, add the cheese. 
• Finish it with some lemon juice on a big fire, and if necessary add extra salt/pepper and chili, depending on taste.
• Add the boiled and rinsed pastaan mix for 3 min.

• And that’s it. Take a glass of wine and enjoy.

As you see, I’m more of a slow-cooking person. I like to take time to truly cook things, so, flavors form.

Now, I’m leaving you, and going to eat some pasta!

See you tomorrow my dears!
