Spaghetti alla Puttanesca

I was gonna write about making it through the weekend (last weekend) but then again, my weekend got so busy. Well, it’s finally monday and when mondays comes, it’s all about staring anew.

I’m still kinda dizzy with everything that happened over the past week, like chores and errands and all, but hey, I’m really glad we were able to sneak in some family time: peanutbutter♥, Ykaie and I. We went swimming yesterday with a couple of my aunts, some cousins, and nieces.

We were worried about this certain typhoon coming or a low-pressure area building up somewhere because weather has been topsy-turvy these days but I’m glad it still pushed through despite of it. It was such a fun fun fun weekend albeit a tiring one. One of my cousins was able to sneak in shopping time, though. She bought a memory foam topper on the way home.

Today, I’m back to the grind — blogging, doing the laundry and thinking of what to eat for lunch. I’m also thinking about a weekday movie date with my family. Oh, I heard Guardian of the Galaxy is a must-see!

I am also kinda having some deep cravings for a tangy pasta dish. This had to be included in my pasta plans today. Did you know that Spaghetti alla Puttanesca literally means “”spaghetti a la whore” in Italian? Well, even if that’s the meaning of its name, I’m just glad the pasta sauce was invented because it satisfies my cravings for tomatoes, olives, capers, and salty anchovies!

I am also starting to think I am the only person in my family who likes this kind of pasta sauce. I could eat this for one whole day without getting tired of it. I’ll need dessert but that’s another story.

    I’ve been wondering about the first half of the name, haha! I wonder why that’s named so. 😀 makes me wonder if it’s a sellout type of recipe or something hehe.

    Thanks for sharing your recipe. Maybe I’ll try it soon. 🙂

    I wonder why that is the Italian name? I like tomato based pasta but I don’t think I can handle olives and capers and anchovies, hehe! The backdrop of your ingredient and finished product shot are sooo nice and rustic!

Good thing this All Around Development Kit from @Lactum3 arrived over the week, kaya naman ito ang aming bonding activity this weekend!

Ang saya ni Twinkle because it has all the fun exercises and activities she really enjoys doing. We planted Arugula, Mustard, and Alfalfa seeds, painted the post, solved a puzzle, and played Twister. Afterwards, I made sure to give her a glass of cold Vitaminized Lactum 3+ which helps support her all-around development in Immunity, Brain and Bones with proper nutrition and stimulation.
