Soba with tomato sauceand tuna


This is my second attempt at using soba in place of pasta. The texture is almost fitting, i think. I used to make my own pasta sauce but you know, fast food is the key so I used canned tomato paste or stew. Not bad at all and much much cheaper than those pasta sauce you get off the shelf.
Added:
  • Baby spinach, raw
  • sauteed garlic and tiny dried japanese shrimps
  • tuna (usually, I'll skip it but hubs needs meat)
  • lots of chinese parsley
  • sprinkling of the yummy truffle salt
  • green tea soba (but any will do)
  • dashes of balsamic vinegar ( I like my sauce a little tart)
  • Of course, EVOO
Another easy and fast food for brunch or dinner...

Skinny Pizza


We're fans of fast comfort food but trying not to succumb to fast food or expensive pizzas. So I created my own version with Ikea's soft bread and whatever I can find in the fridge:
  • Ham
  • Mini portobello mushrooms
  • Anchovies
  • capers
  • onions
  • Ikea soft bread (turns to a biscuity crisp once you heat up in the oven and burns easily too, so be careful!)
  • dashes of EVOO
We're lucky to have any mushrooms left in the fridge as we cook and gobble any up as soon as they're back from the mart. Hobbits, we are!
