Longganisa Pasta

My aunt went to Ilocos lately and she brought with her a box full of vigan longganisa. I tried bringing some back to our hometown but my package was held at the airport. I also warned my aunt about it as her flight was supposedly on the following day. What she did was to cook some and bring it back to her place down south while she left a few bags of longganisa here in manila.

We had no choice but to cook it and eat it these past few days.. I previously loved vigan longganisa but there came a time that we were already "sawa" with it. What I did was to use longganisa as an ingredient of something loved by the entire household especially my little girl.

One lazy afternoon, I checked the refrigerator and noticed there were a lot of cooked longganisa leftover so I decided to use it as the main ingredient for my pasta. Instead of ground meat, I had diced longganisa minus the wrap of course!

Here's the recipe I came up with as far as I could remember:

Ingredients:
vigan longganisa (about 12 pieces), diced
garlic chopped
onion diced
tomatoes cubed
cooking oil
olive oil
del monte tomato and cheese gourmet pasta sauce
maggi magic sarap

Cooking Instructions:
1. Take out wrapper from vigan longganisa.
2. Heat few drops of cooking oil and olive oil.
3. Saute garlic, onion and tomato with longganisa
4. put a few drops of maggi magic sarap and heat for 5 minutes
5. pour del monte tomato and cheese gourmet pasta sauce. heat for 5 minutes
6. pour sauce over cooked spaghetti noodles and serve!

Surprisingly my little girl loved this recipe.
