Food Friday

This week's Featured Food Friday player is ...

Ms. Oggi, with her post: Green Tea Marble Kasutera on her blog I Can Do That!

I must admit, this is the first time that I have heard of this lovely Japanese sponge cake. It does look inviting, specially with those green tea swirls! Want to know how Ms. Oggi made those? Click on the shot!

Another easy dish for this week's post: Pasta with Tomato Pesto and Crab Paste

Ingredients

• Pasta of your choice (all I had was a 3/4 pack [400g] elbow macaroni, but used only half)
• Sun Dried Tomato Pesto (used around 3 heaping tablespoons)
• Crab Paste (2 tablespoons, mixed with 1tsp. calamansi juice and 1 chopped garlic)
• Edamame (roasted and lightly salted) and moringga (dried leaves), both optional

Procedure

• Cook pasta according to package instructions.
• Prepare the crab paste by adding the juice and the chopped raw garlic. Set aside.
• Once the pasta is cooked, drain and mix in the pesto and the crab paste.
• Mix well; you can add more of the pesto or crab paste if you feel that the taste is lacking.
• Place in a serving dish and top with the roasted edamame and crushed dried raw moringa leaves.
• Enjoy!

Yes, no salt or pepper added. The crab paste was already a bit salty; I thought of adding capers, but am glad I didn't. It would have been too salty! No cheese, too! I think it would look nicer if I added a few parsley (or maybe cilantro) leaves, and of course, some sprinklings of chili flakes. But that's just me being me. :D

Please don't forget to add a link back to this site (you can get the buttons here; deciding to use text instead of buttons is fine also) to be able to add your posts below. Many thanks and hope everyone is going to have a great time this weekend!
