A Delicious and Fast Throw Food: The Italian Pasta!

Since I have been away from my Philippine rice food for ten month already, I have discovered the beauty of having the Italian cuisine. I have been eating Itaian for the past ten months and in the process, I have learned how to make them... and make them fact and delicious!

Enjoy your meal!

When I was in the Philippines, any foreign food (or even local) means a lot of hustle bustle when you have to cook/prepare them. I swear! There were alot of ingredients! In fact, as I discover how real Italians do their food, the ingredients I know we use back home (Philippines) could be considered unnecessary. Don't get me wrong! I like the taste of the revised version in the Philippines too!

Part of the preparation. The sogo and the boiling pasta...

Anyway, no more tattering about the Filipino styles of cooking. We both know that Pinoys are great immitators...and sometimes, even better than the original, right? But what I cannot stand when it comes to pasta, especially the (famous) Spaghetti in the Philippines is the complication of making it. Only after living in Italy I discovered that I can make an entire meal of pasta for only ten (10) minutes. And that is a Filipina hand and mind cooking. And the catch? It is with real Italian flavor and taste.

I do love making food fast and without hustle. Aside from time and effort that is conserved, the electricity as well is saved or shall we say, added the gas savings. I cook pasta almost everyday. The boiling time is eight (8) minutes. While it boils, the sauce (sogo in Italia) can be prepared as well. It can be done in the same amount of time until the pasta get boiled. However, if you have an "old" cow's meat or old cow's beef, more time is needed.

The ingredients.. EuroShopper is the cheapest I have found so far in Netherlands and it is NOT bad tasting for its price. The rest are olive oil, tomatoe conserve and aceto balsamico (balsalm vinegar)...

Practicality wise, I always use soft ingredients as well to make the job even faster. Now I am sharing you some beans (soft and conserved) in tomato sauce or oil and I made it with pasta (specifically calle fusilli). The process is very simple actually, as I have repeatedly told, it is fast and convenient.

The images are the rough representation of procedures and they are self explanatory. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to post it down. Buon appetito!

Now let's eat! One for me, one for you... een voor mij, een voor jou.. Buon Appetito!

By the way, the title with the phrase "fast throw" is fast throw inside a bowl or any cooking pot or something. Not fast to throw!
