The Cooking Chronicles: Pasta in Pesto Sauce
The Cooking Chronicles by The Stellar Wanderer is purely composed of her cooking experiments and escapades that turned out to be quite edible and well, kinda yummy.
And so the newest addition to my blog, The Cooking Chronicles debuts now.
I have a lot of frustrations ---singing, dancing, directing and COOKING. Yep, I'm definitely a frustrated cook. I was quite denuded to cooking back when I was a child. Almost all of my aunts and uncles are great at cooking especially my grandmother and growing up with them for almost 5 years kinda exposed me to its perks. As for my first recipe (naks kung mka recipe HAHAHAHA), Pasta in Pesto sauce, here's how I did it:
We had uncooked pasta and ham leftovers so I decided to use them before they go to waste. I sauteed one whole onion and a clove of garlic together with the ham.
As for the pesto sauce, I used one sachet of McCormick Pesto Sauce Mix (dissolved in 1/4 cup water together with 6 tablespoon of olive oil) and one pack of Nestle's All purpose cream to give it a creamy finish.
Mix them all together in low fire and add the cream when you're almost done. I added 3 triangles of Laughing Cow cheese and a lot of herbs and spices for a better smell and taste. And taaadaaaaaa~ my very own Pasta in Pesto Sauce! It looks yummy isn't it? My mom loved it so much and same goes for my cousins so it was finished on a whim.
It only took me about 15 mins to cook the sauce and about 20 mins for the pasta. Its very easy to make plus its delicious too! (well, that depends on your taste buds hehehe)
TIP: When you're pasta's almost ready, add about 3 tablespoon of olive oil so that it'll taste better when mixed with sauce.
So, that's it for my very first recipe in The Stellar Wanderer's Cooking Chronicles. Next to come: Maja Blanca.

The Stellar Wanderer or more commonly known as Katrina is one hell of a random being. She likes to take pictures but doesn't really consider herself a photographer, she likes to shoot videos but she never really embraced film-making. More or less she is a self-proclaimed movie geek and Kpop fanatic. She is currently obsessed with fashion and losing weight. She considers this little space her diary so please bear with her agonies.
