Tuna Vegeroni (May 8, 2005)

So what is tuna vegeroni? It’s a delicious dish that I invented myself. I’m not a chef, and I didn’t have formal cooking lessons, but surprisingly, because of my love for my friends, I came up with a healthy recipe which is not only low in calories, but tastes good as well.

Believe me, I have done a lot of food fiascos that I’m not proud of. There was one time that I made vermicelli with spaghetti sauce and it tasted terrible! Even the cat wouldn’t eat it! But things have improved since then. Without the aid of recipe books, I could now cook - and to tell you quite frankly, you don’t need knowledge . . . you just need imagination and lots of love to make your food successful.

Here are the ingredients in my famous TUNA VEGERONI:

One pack San Remo Vegeroni Pasta

Two cans of Century Tuna in Vegtable Oil

A quarter of Cream Cheese

Two boxes of Nestle All Purpose Cream

One can of Sliced Button Mushrooms

A Sprinkle of Onion Powder

4 tablespoons of Olive Oil

Directions:

Boil the pasta in a pot and allow it to simmer for 7 to 8 minutes.

In a frying pan, heat the olive oil and melt the cheese. After the cheese melts, add the tuna (include the vegetable oil) and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Stir occassionaly. Add the mushrooms then the cream. And heat until all the cream melts. Add onion powder to taste. And voila!!! You have your tuna vegeroni!

Happy cooking!!!
