Cooking at home takes up most of my mornings (or evenings). I usually spend 95% of my kitchen time in preparing the food, then 5% goes to the actual eating.
But with my often busy schedule, I would rather rely on eating out, taking home food, or food delivery. Less effort, but often with more cost.
What to do, then?
Chopped up veggies are my best friend nowadays. No more tedious cutting, just open the pack and voila, your ingredients are ready!
And here’s a recipe my daughter and I love the most. No cutting or measuring needed. Just DUMP-IT-ALL!
DUMP-IT-ALL TUNA MUSHROOM PASTA
Ingredients:
1 250g pack Pasta Spirals (you may also use Penne, Macaroni, or Vegeroni for added colour)
1 small can Tuna in Light Oil, drained
1 can Jolly Mushroom Pieces and Stems
Half bar of cheese slices (the more, the cheesier!)
Olive oil
Salt to taste
Procedure:
1. Cook pasta according to directions. Drain.
2. In the same pot, add some olive oil. Then dump all the ingredients together!
3. Mix, mix, mix. Cook for about 5 minutes. Then…
This has proven to be a no-fail recipe for my daughter. She loves this dish and I like it too because it is a complete meal in itself–carbs, veggies, and protein all in one bowl.
How about you, how do you #makeitjolly in your kitchen?
