It’s #PHLockdown Day 5 and I’m sharing with you our lunch for day 2. The ingredients I used here are our kitchen staples. I always have frozen ground chicken in the freezer and canned tomatoes. So when Ykaie requested for Spaghetti and Meatballs, I was able to cook it for her. So Linguine & Chicken Meatballs in marinara sauce was our lunch.
Sauce is so simple and easy to make. I just sautéed garlic in olive oil, then poured in the canned tomatoes. Then I let it simmer for a few minutes and seasoned it with oregano, basil, salt and sugar and it’s done. For the chicken meatballs, I combined: ground chicken, onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. I also added Malunggay powder for a boost in nutrition. Then I mold it into a ball and fried it before adding it to the sauce. It smelled so good while simmering.
Ayan, naka-2 serving agad si ate Ykaie…
#PHLockdown Day 3 Lunch: Crispy Binagoongan with Talong, Steamed Talbos ng Kamote (Camote tops), Cauli Rice, and sawsawang Calamansi!
Our Day 3 lunch menu is Crispy Binagoongan with eggplant, Steamed talbos ng Kamote, Cauli Rice, and sawsawang calamansi. I had to use all these veggies or they will go bad, hence this lunch.
I have little veggies left in the kitchen and scared to go out because I just heard the update of 307 confirmed cases as of today.

Yum, this looks so good! Will have to try it sometime.
Spaghetti is one of mine favorite dishes…… Mostly i watch different recipes of this one…. and here it seems to be very delicious….I am surely gonna try it once….Thanks for sharing it….
As an Italian I want to say that in Italy we don’t eat pasta with meatballs. In a few words we prepare the sauce with the meatballs then we take a part of it and for lunch we eat spaghetti with the meat sauce and for dinner the meatballs with the remaining sauce. However, I really liked this recipe.
I need to try this for dinner! I know my family will love it. We’re all about pasta.
your spaghetti recipe looks out of this world! I am literally drooling! I can’t can’t can’t wait to make it, tomorrow for sure. Thank you.
This looks like a great option while we’re stuck at home. I might have to give this a try using a meat substitute in place of the chicken.
Italian food is one of my favorites, and we are quite addicted to it, at least twice a week this kind of cooking at home, very delicious.
Those spaghetti chicken meatballs look amazing. I think we will be having something like that this week. And I am already staying away from stores even though cases are only up to about 40 here.
I love this recipe! It makes me drool right now. That meatballs look really delicious… I might try this one out!
That looks delicious! I do not enjoy cooking, but I love eating quality food! Thanks for the recipe
This looks delicious! New recipes during quarantine are a must!
