If I want to REALLY impress, this is a party appetizer that always works! Need romance? Serve a couple with Filet Mignon for Surf-n-Turf - it doesn't get much better than this!
So Vegetarian is almost an unheard of word in the Philippines, but while in college I still wanted the Filipino tastes while trying to be vegetarian. Since all of the recipes I know had meat (even the veggies are cooked in pork) I had to come up with some of my own. This is one of those. Tofu sinigang apparently isn't unheard of in the Philippines but this recipe came out of trial and error. The soup is pretty sour cooked to quot;full strengthquot; but can make a pretty nice fast meal with rice.
A springtime mix of fresh veggies gets tossed with pasta and topped with Parm for a 20-minute dish that's loaded with flavor. Zest a little lemon for the finishing touch.
The tangy, slightly sweet sauce makes this distinctively Memphis-style. The fact that it's done in 30 minutes makes it a dish to keep in your repertoire.
In less than 30 minutes, you can serve a creamy wine sauce with peppers over tender pork and prove conclusively that all you are lacking as a superhero is the invisible plane.
