Food Porn: Pasta Primavera with Tuna Chunks (My Own Version)

As promised to my team on our last day of work last fiscal week, I prepared pasta to bring to work sprinkled with "sale powder" so we close more sale this week (LOL! the last one is a joke obviously). I whipped up my own version of pasta primavera with tuna chunks (hot and spicy and the ones in vegetable oil). To make it healthier, I used spinach fettuccini (the green noodle). For the sauce, I used red and green bell pepper, onions and sliced mushrooms and sauteed tomato sauce with generous helping of extra virgin olive oil.

I woke up around 1AM and started to slice all the ingredients that needs some slicing and opened the cans that needed to be opened. I couldn't find the can opener but the good thing is I managed to open the cans with the knife (thanks to my Girl Scout training).

Here's a picture of the spinach fettuccini ready to be boiled in water with a teaspoon of salt and extra virgin olive oil.

And here are the spices I used: rosemary, thyme, oregano, garlic powder and ground pepper...(the picture is a little blurry, maybe my hands were shaky or I'm still a little sleepy).

And the star of the sauce, the tuna chunks...

And here's the finished product with curled parsley on top (I woke Jonah up to conduct a taste test). I don't wanna mess up on my first recipe. It would be a big embarrassment if I disappoint my team. Thank you Jones for gamely eating the pasta.

Crossing my fingers...I hope they like it!
