Not your regular Christmas pasta: 5 yummy recipes for Noche Buena

Filipino families have different ways of enjoying Noche Buena during Christmas. Some usually have their go-to dishes, including recipes that were passed down from moms and lolas. And most likely, one staple in Noche Buena spreads are pasta dishes, like macaroni salad and sweet Filipino spaghetti. While you have favorite recipes na nakasanayan, you can try something new to make your pasta dishes extra special for Christmas this year. To do this, make sure that you have quality ingredients, like El Real Pasta, to whip up a delicious dish that your loved ones will enjoy.

5 Yummy Recipes for Noche Buena

The possibilities with pasta or “pastabilities” are endless, so here are some recipes you can do for your Christmas spread:

Creamy Bistek Tagalog Pasta

Incorporate the flavors of the Filipino-favorite ulam Bistek Tagalog to your pasta dish, but with a creamy twist. The beef will be marinated in soy sauce, calamansi, and garlic for 30 minutes before pan-frying and simmering it in the marinade. Complete the savory sauce with all-purpose cream and let it simmer for a couple of minutes or until thick. Mix in the al dente El Real Flat Spaghetti, and top it with onion rings, chopped spring onions, and parmesan cheese.

Bake it in an oven for 10 minutes, and voila, you have a pasta-fied sushi bake in time for Noche Buena.
