TriColore
February 28, 2009 at 11:08 am , by Ces
This dish may not be in any way related to the French Tricolour where the term originated, neither is this a traditional Filipino dish.
The Tricolore was used during the revolution and has since become a symbol of liberty around the world. Other nations have also adopted the design.
This tricolor Pasta Carbonara was part of our pre-Valentine’s dinner spread. The recipe is also from that ABCNews segment where Rachael Ray cooked up a quick and delicious meal for that special day, together with the Lovebirds I also made. Pasta with its roots coming from Italy, now plays a big part in our very own Filipino cuisine. We have easily adapted and embraced this dish as it is almost always present in parties and gatherings. Significantly so in the roster of meals from different fast food restaurants in the country as well such as Jollibee and its Pinoy version of the Spaghetti. That proves to be true even with the Carbonara.
I only tweaked it a bit using this three-colored Fusilli, instead of the usual spaghetti.
Fusilli (also called pasta twirls) is a small, thick, corkscrew shaped pasta. The word fusilli means “little spindles” in Italian. Green, red, and magenta varieties of fusilli (or any pasta) are created by using spinach, beet, or printer juice, respectively, instead of water.
Recipe will follow shortly over is now posted at momcooks.dadcooks.
is a weekly thematic FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY meme, PINOY style.

Wow! Love the shots! Makes the food even more mouthwatering, no?
Love ko talaga ang anything pasta and I also try to experiment with different kinds using different sauces (in cooking and eating out)..Plus spaghetti (red sauce) and lasagna are the only recipes that I CAN cook by memory….hehehhe

Basta pasta, as long as not tomato-based, my boy loves it.
Where I am right now, it’s always “tricolour”. (As you may already know, color is always spelled colour…)

I love this! carbonara is a favorite at home but hubby likes it only with spaghetti noodles and not with other pasta types. Wish I could do the same like this
Sago’t gulaman, anyone?

Apir tayo ng entry, sister!
Yours looks much more delectable though… perhaps should try the recipe you used the next time.
Enjoy what’s left of your Sunday! Take care!

Your fusilli looks like the rotini I buy around here…is there a difference? I love using it because the twirled surface traps more sauce/flavors.
Mine is up.
