Recipe: Freezer Leftovers Pasta with Quezo De Bola

Yes, I made this pasta out of all the leftovers we had from the holidays. Two weeks past and we still have some stuff in the freezer. Good thing when we got home last Sunday, I was really starving so I was able to come up with a tasty pasta dish out of all the leftovers that I was close to throwing away.

What I used for this recipe:

about 400g of cooked spaghetti
3 pcs med tomatoes, diced
1 med red onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped finely
about 150g of frozen, cooked tahong (mussels)
4 slabs honeycured bacon, chopped and cooked (to render fat)
2 pcs spanish sardines (a leftover from our pantry, technically not from the freezer), deboned and mashed
grated quezo de bola
a handful of fresh basil (torn into small pieces)
1/4 cup olive oil

How I did it:

1. Saute onion, garlic and tomatoes (till the skin peels off from the tomato and the onion translucent. make sure you don't burn nor brown the garlic) in olive oil (using half of the olive oil)
2. add in the mussels, bacon and sardines.
3. pour the remaining olive oil, add fresh basil and toss over cooked pasta until it is fully coated.
4. garnish with grated quezo de bola.
5. enjoy!!!!

This recipe can feed about 5-6 hungry stomachs.
