kids' breakfast...

 

Tuesday morning as i prepare hubby's breakfast of oatmeal and non-fat milk, Troy wakes up, comes out of the bedroom and greets us good morning. Then he asks his dad for some "choco-weit", which is how he calls his formula milk. After prepping up a bottle, hubby gamely hands it to him and suddenly he frowns... dad: huh? you don't like? troy: no! spaggenti!

 mom & dad: uh-oh!.... funny, he must've dreamt of pasta in his sleep!

So there i was quickly thinking of what to cook for my boys. Luckily, a pack of penne pasta was at hand together with ingredients for cream sauce which i plan to use. Dad heaved a sigh of relief on hearing me assure  Troy that pasta indeed he's gonna have for breakfast.

After finishing our oatmeal and kissing our goodbyes to their Dad who's off to work, i set down to cook.

The sauce for this dish consists of: 

1 box cream

1 can tuna

1/2 cup grated cheese

3 pcs. hotdog chopped

dash of mustard

1 small head onion chopped

4 cloves garlic, chopped

3 carrots, coarsely grated

1/2 cup fresh milk

salt, dried basil and pepper to taste.

Pasta was cooked as to directions. First to saute is garlic, then onions followed by hotdogs, then carrots. Pour in the tuna and cream, stir to simmer then add the cheese and mustard. Season to taste. Simmer in low fire. Pour onto the cooled pasta, mix and enjoy! just like my boys did.. :)
