Just saw a recipe for a filipino version of pasta at a magazine:
VIGAN LONGGANISA PASTA TREAT (Serves 4-6)
10-12 cups water
1 tbsp salt
500 gms spaghetti noodles
2 tbsp olive oil
400 gms Vigan longganisa, skin removed, roughly chopped
5 cloves garlic
1/2 cup sliced white onions
100 gms fresh tomatoes, diced, seeded
1 tbsp dried thyme
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese, divided
1 tbsp butter

Bring water and salt to a boil and add noodles. coook until al dente, drain and discard the water.
Heat olive oil and saute longanisa until fat is rendered. Remove the longganisa, leaving oil behind to saute the 3 garlic cloves and onions in. Add back the longganisa, and also add the thyme and tomatoes.
Stir in 1/4 cup grated cheese, season with salt and pepper. Let stand for 2 minutes.
Add cooked pasta and toss well. When well incorporated, add butter and remaining 2 minced garlic cloves. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Serve hot!

Another not so ordinary pasta sauce combination:

PASTA WITH PESTO-AVOCADO SAUCE

To make the Sauce:
Mix 1 cup of bottled pesto (any brand you like) with 2 avocados, mashed until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

In another bowl, toss together spaghettini (500 grams dried pasta cooked in 12 cups water and drained) and 1 bunch of trimmed watercress in 1/4 cup of olive oil. Let watercress wiltwith the heat of the pasta.

Pour pesto-avocado sauce over pasta and stir gently. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup roasted pine nuts before serving.

[aditti]

well..u can do a half and half... i think i used 1 can of spaghetti meat sauce (kadto del monte or something) then 1 can sliced mushrooms then 1 can campbell's cream of mushroom soup plus 200 grams of fried bacon.... result is bolognara... if you want to try how this tastes before cooking, try ordering this at cafe george coz diri ko nka tuon ani

[lolzlolsy]

wow...sounds yummy!..ill try that....asa na ang cafe george?

[aditti]

^ cafe george in banilad or oh george at ayala..same resto different branch. since u know how to make red meat sauce, kana lang gamita instead of kadtong canned (tapolan man gud ko). if you want rich jd kau the taste, u can add evap and nestle cream pa (ratio is 1 can campbell's : 1 can evap : 1 tetrapack nestle cream...u just adjust the amount lang depende sa pasta amount ur making...

another recipe i tried yday is chicken herb garlic pasta... tinapolan style napud ni... 250 grams cooked linguine, 1 250 gram del monte italian spaghetti sauce, 1 250 gram del monte filipino style spag sauce, 1 pack mc cormick herb and garlic na pasta seasoning, 1 chicken breast (i used leftover sa fried whole chicken). you just heat the sauce, add the seasoning making sure that evenly cya na mix then add the shredded chicken leftovers... add the pasta when its cooked.
