Do you like spicy food? I do. I think it’s obvious because I’m featuring Spicy Tuyo Pasta in this blog.

I don’t know why I love spicy, I just do. I always try to include red chili in all my sauces, and before I had children, I would always cook spicy Sinigang.

I use a lot of hot sauce on my pizza and I don’t use regular catsup. I preferred Maggi Chili sauce, which disappeared from the supermarket shelves for reasons unknown to spicy-loving humanity! I found a good enough substitute in Silver Swan’s extra spicy chili sauce, but I sure do hope that my favorite brand of chili sauce would make a comeback.

One of my friends, Donna, posted a picture of her spicy pasta dish on Facebook weeks ago and it looked so good, I immediately messaged her to ask for the recipe.

Just like most of the recipes I’ve shared here, this one is pretty much easy to make. Just a warning: If you’re following this recipe to a tee, it will be too spicy for children. 

Here’s what you will need:

Ingredients:

350 grams Spaghetti pasta
2 bulbs of garlic, chopped
6-8 pieces of green chili
2 jars of Bebeng’s Kitchen Gourmet tuyo
Olive oil

How to cook:

1. Cook pasta as instructed on the package, set aside.
2. Heat pan in low fire before pouring in a generous amount of olive oil. Don’t wait too long before doing the next step!
3. Put in the chopped garlic and the green chili. Keep stirring until the garlic is moderately brown.

4. Mix in Bebeng’s Kitchen Gourmet tuyo. Do not include the liquid content.

5. Mix constantly. It is better that the fish is broken down into tinier pieces.
6. Mix in the pasta.

7. Serve!

Bebeng’s Kitchen Savory Sidekicks

Bebeng’s Kitchen has recently introduced its ‘Savory Sidekick’ products. The list of sidekicks include Garlic and Chili, Gourmet tuyo, Atchara, and Sweet Bagoong Alamang.

All these products are home-made and created without any additives nor preservatives.

I’ve tried the Atchara, which does not last very long on our table, it’s so good, I forget my diet!

atchara

And I’ve tried Gourmet tuyo, and as you can see, I’m obviously sold out! You can check out Mom on Duty’s Pork Binagoongan recipe using Bebeng’s Kitchen Sweet Bagoong Alamang.

Bebeng’s kitchen is also known for pastries and cookies. I once posted about their Choco Chip Banana Muffins and I’m about to order another batch of chocolate chip oat cookies.

IMG_4853I ordered one pack, along with the Atchara and Gourmet tuyo, but it was gone, 60 seconds after Jay brought it in.

Check out Bebeng’s Kitchen on Facebook! It’s one of those guilty pleasures you will forget being guilty about.

Special thanks to my friend, Donna Mendiola-Gaddi, for sharing her tuyo pasta recipe with me!

I must show this one to the hubby so he could it for me. Prinsesa lang. hahahaha.. I am no domestic goddes, sad to say. Buti I have a husband who loves to cook.

    There are times I love spicy foods (sarap kumain!) but not much. This recipe looks yummy, thanks for sharing and I think we need to have a list of online shop in our MBP group (dami pala sa ating mommy ang may businessies :) )

    1. May De Jesus-Palacpac Avatar

      Yes, I think so nga. You can bring that up with Mommy Lani. That way we can prioritise helping out the business mommies. :)

      Bebeng’s Kitchen Gourmet tuyo is spicy already, so you can choose not to add the green chili. :)

    I’m browsing for some new pasta dish to cook and this is just perfect. I’m yet to order from Bebeng’s but we need this for dinner tonight so I’ll have to settle for a lesser brand I guess. :)

    Will cook this on my baby’s 11 month birthday. :) Thank you so much for sharing.

    Thanks for giving us the step-by-step process on making this dish! Will ask my ate to try it, since I’m not into cooking but just eating! Hehe!

    I’m not a fan of spicy dishes but am definitely a pasta lover. I am tempted to try this recipe without the green chili.
    Also, the Bebeng Kitchen Gourmet Tuyo is not available in Cebu (not that I know..) so I may opt to use sardines.
    Just wondering if it still taste yummy :)
    Thanks for the recipe.

    1. May De Jesus-Palacpac Avatar

      I have another recipe on the blog using sardines, you may want to check it out. :)

    I want to try that spicy tuyo and for sure hubby would love it too!

  12. momhandsarefull Avatar

    Thanks for sharing this recipe! I love spicy food too and often use Spanish sardines for this. I shall try Bebeng’s Kitchen tuyo next time :)

    1. May De Jesus-Palacpac Avatar

      I posted a blog on spanish sardines pasta recipe, too, it’s not as spicy as this one. This one, I used chilis, hehe. Strictly for spicy-loving adults. :)

  13. tweenselmom Avatar

    I didn’t used to eat a lot of spicy food but since my hubby is a fanatic, I’ve since learned to appreciate it. :) He’s going to love this recipe! I haven’t tried any of Denise’ Bebeng’s Kitchen goodies yet but I’ve been hearing lots of good stuff about them. I guess I have to order now so I can try them for myself.

    1. May De Jesus-Palacpac Avatar

      I can’t wait to place my orders again, to be honest with you! The cookies where divine!

      1. Denise Redrico Rayala Avatar

        I can’t wait to fix my shipping relationship with my courier so I can send all my goodies to those who are too far from my place! :)

    I love spicy food and I am a big fan of pasta dishes as well. However, I haven’t tried yet a tuyo pasta. Thanks for sharing! May try this one soon!

    This is really an easy dish but I’m not into spicy and I’m not fond of tuyo. I use canned tuna for my pasta. :)
