Food Blogging, Day 04

So yesterday I made tuna pasta, my parents freaked out and ordered me to get other food delivered because apparently this was a suicidal move (My mother's allergic to sea-food, I... might be, and once about three years ago my mouth itched for about five minutes because of tuna), I told them I was and had the pasta anyway, popped a couple cetrizine tablets and then proceeded to freak out myself and friends by agonizing whether my incipient cold was actually my throat closing up.

Good times, yo.

1. Saute onion and garlic in olive oil, using the oil the fish has been canned in.
2. When onion turns transparent put in shredded fish and saute till browned.
3. Pour water, and add pasta when water starts boiling.
4. Cook with the lid closed till pasta is al dente.
5. Add salt, pepper, spices to taste.
6. When sauce has thickened, add cheese and turn off the heat.
7. Let cheese melt to create a crust, or stir it into the pasta.
8. Optional last step, pop a cetrizine tablet and enjoy your meal.

I had no idea you even knew about tuna casserole in India! I've always thought of it as a North American dish! My father (Englishman to the core, for all his love of Scottish history, which was his subject) loathed it so we never had it at home growing up but I had it at friends' houses and learned to make it myself when I went to college. My 'optional extra' is to crush potato crisps (potato chips to a North American) and sprinkle on top and grill for a minute to make a crispy crust.

Well, we don't have it as part of our traditional cuisine, certainly. But globalisation brought us Italian food and I'm sure colonisation had already left its cuisine.

Though can one call it a casserole if it didn't go in the oven?
