Pasta With Sun-Dried Tomato And Salmon-In-A-Jar



















Pasta every meal ??? Sure, why not...I love this chewy pasta made from duran flour which is much healthier than rice :)  I love pasta  cooked in any form...the simplest would do...meaning , less washing would be great!  A tasty and delicious one dish meal of pasta is much welcomed.   I have prepared a second batch of salmon-in-a-jar and I am happy that I can have them in my pasta and sandwiches...gosh I have to really thank Dorie Greenspan for this wonderful salmon-in-jar recipe. Salmon-in-a-jar is truly a luxury item for us coz salmon costs about RM49 per kilo and a 3/4 inch thick steak piece will cost about RM22 !  

















Last Sunday dinner was simple affair  - spaghetti stir fry with  sun-dried tomatoes, fresh dill , garlic and sea salt...garnishes with  salmon-in-jar -  a flavorful salmon slices pickled in herbs olive infused oil  - a wonderful accompaniment for the pasta.  I can eat this many times a week and not get bored with it....trust me, this is truly a great one dish pasta meal !  And eating spaghetti with a pair of chopstick is a test of patience ! Trust me again...it takes skill and patience to eat spaghetti with chopsticks !  :)

    Pasta is one of my comfort foods. I have yet to check this 'salmon in a jar' out. Sounds intriguing. And this looks really good!
