Adobo Flakes Pasta

 What to do with leftover adobo...



Boredome + Leftover Adobo = Adobo Flakes Pasta


start with taking the chicken..







and shred it into bite sized pieces..






Boil some penne






Now for the sauce.. let's start with a rue by melting a few tbsps of butter






Scoop about 2 tsbps of flour to the melted butter and let the mixture cook so that you wen't end up with raw flour taste






Strain the Adobo sauce into the rue






and you end up with a nicely thickened pot of pasta sauce!






Now back to the chicken.. Start by sauteing some garlic in olive oil





 
dump in the chicken flakes






and fry until crispy and the garlic has browned beautifully






time to plate






Drizzle a little bit of the sauce into the pasta






top with Garlic Adobo Flakes






and lunch is served!


Crispy, Garlicky, and flavorful.. a few things i would change would be adding cream to the sauce to dilute the rather strong flavors of the adobo sauce and to also use spaghetti instead of penne coz I think the penne was a bit to heavy in texture and taste for the adobo flakes.


Off to a good start..
