Filipino Tuna Adobo Pasta

I love canned tuna adobo and my new favorite way to enjoy it is to turn it into this Filipino Tuna Adobo Pasta. It is creamy and tasty.

Filipinos love canned tuna. We love it with rice or pasta. We turn to canned tuna whenever we are lazy or tired to prepare something or just feel like eating canned tuna. I am not really aware of other countries, but in the Philippines, we have different flavors of tuna – ones with tomato sauce, hot and spicy, sweet and spicy, one with coconut milk and many others.

When hungry and can’t do something else aside from getting a canned tuna from our stocks, we just open a canned tuna, get warm rice and we can eat just like that. Some heat the canned tuna and some don’t, maybe it depends on the brand, not really sure.

Canned tuna is a staple in our pantry. I can’t even tell if I eat it weekly… hmmm, maybe? Although I love canned tuna, I try to find some ways how to enjoy it.

One of them is to use it in pasta. I love the Filipino Chicken Adobo Pasta so I thought of making pasta out of canned tuna adobo. The result is fantastic! The pasta dish is tasty and very creamy. Aside from cooking cream, I added cream cheese as well. It is unbelievably great. I never thought I would love it so I haven’t taken a lot of photos. When I tasted it, I told myself that I need to blog the pasta dish. But hey, I posted a video on my YouTube Channel. Would you please visit and watch it, please? 😀

Please show me some love, you amazing people, and subscribe to my channel. It’s free, you know. 😉

I am taking this with me to this week’s Fiesta Friday #293.
