Name: Gourmet Tuyo Pasta with Sundried Tomatoes
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 15 min
Ingredients: 200 g pasta (I used fusilli); 1 tbsp butter; 2 cloves garlic (minced); ½ cup sundried tomatoes (chopped); 1 bottle gourmet tuyo (drained but reserve the oil); ¾ cup sweet kernel corn; Salt & pepper (to taste); Lemon juice

When it comes to pasta, I prefer the saucy ones and the ones with like a “million dollar” ingredients other than the ones with the simplest ingredients. I have tried a pasta dish with just olive oil and dill, and I loved it. I just don’t want to make it myself because it looks “sad” to me. If I make it myself, I am sure I’ll add a cream at the end… then it becomes another dish.

After the successful Gourmet Tuyo Pasta in Cream, I thought I’d give cream-less and meat-less pasta a chance. I had a bottle of gourmet tuyo and sundried tomatoes, so why not??

This dish can be put together in 15 minutes and that’s one of the things I love about it. Also, very few ingredients are needed – oil, butter, garlic, gourmet tuyo, sundried tomatoes and pasta. You can put any add-ins if you like – bellpeppers, olives, mushrooms. For me, lemon is a must – it makes the dish more delicious. Since the dish doesn’t contain any cream, I ate a lot. I felt satisfied and happy. For me, this is perfect for somebody who is in a hurry but still wants to enjoy a simple but delicious meal.

This week, I am so excited because I am co-hosting Fiesta Friday #262 with… tadaaaa…. Angie @ Fiesta Friday! Please do join the fun and visit us!

I think this is the first time I used lemon in pasta and it makes a huge difference. I am not sure if you’ll get the same result when you use anchovies. Thank you, Jenny. x

haha, I’ve read the comments above and I also had to Google tuyo I thought they looked like anchovies. I’ll have to see if I can source this ingredient and give this dish a go, I do so love these quick pasta dishes, so simple yet impressive looking and satisfying too.

  They are dried herring, if I am not mistaken. I am not very familiar with the names of our own (Filipino) foods and it’s a shame, haha! Thank you, Rebecca. It is nice of you to stop by. x

  I was going to add green peas, but I forgot about it. And yes, you are right, Corina. It’s a simple pasta dish in which you can use the ingredients that you need to get rid of. 😀 Thanks, Corina.

I have to admit I had to google tuyo … but, as I like herring, this recipe sounds incredibly intriguing! I do love a good sauce with my pasta, but come Wednesday I need a quick fix. I’ll definitely bookmark this one!
Thank you for co-hosting this week, Jhuls. Happy FF!

    There’ll be no cohost this Friday, so I thought we can put it up to a vote. But the next 2 weeks after that, I have only one cohost each, so if you can be the second cohost either that’ll be great. It’s either Feb 22 or Mar 1.

        I think I’ll put you down for Mar 8, Jhuls, if you don’t mind. That way I’ll be able to stretch the cohosts better. But you may be going solo.

most days I just love quick, easy and tasty recipes and this sounds delicious! I am the same with adding other ingredients and have almost given up following a recipe to a tee and I am more used to cook with ingredients I have at hand. This is a great recipe not using too many ingredients to create a delicious dish! Happy Fiesta Friday 🙂 x

  I have listed so many recipes that I plan to cook during weekends, always telling myself to prepare the ingredients ahead, but I always get too lazy. Recipes such as this one is really a huge help when you are in a hurry and I am always in a hurry. 😀 Thanks, Petra. x
