I have featured the dish (below) here as it was done in a cooking class I was invited to go to.
Last Wednesday night, we had it for dinner with a few minor changes according to what I have at home.
I plan to cook more using olive oil even if it is a bit of a strain in the pocket but if the benefits are good for the family’s health, why not?
I usually use soybean oil for cooking and I still do especially in frying (fish) which requires more oil.

Tilapia Fillets
For Tilapia Fillets:
Season tilapia fillet with salt, pepper and paprika. Coat with almonds and bake at 180C for 4 minutes.
Pasta
For pasta:
In a sauce pan, heat the olive oil and melt the butter. Saute the onions and garlic then add tomatoes and capers. Add the white wine and simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the spaghetti in the sauce.
Sauce:
Serve using medium pan. Place pasta on one side and the fillets on the other side. Drizzle the fillets with garlic sauce and balsamic sauce.
Enjoy.
UPDATE: I made this last night (Feb3, 2010) though I still have to write a post.
I love fresh tomatoes.
No, that is not my vegetable garden but I wish it was, lol.
I use these fresh tomatoes with omelet, as a side dish, for pasta and as part of sandwich fillings.
Below is a photo I have already used in this post:
We had this again the other night but this time using vegeroni spirals.
No photo though, we just dug in as soon as the dish was ready.
Yeah, we were that hungry.
We were also in a bit of hurry because I needed to go online for a live chat.
Happy Sunday and yes, happy eating

Here is Yellow Cab Pizza’s Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta sprinkled with green onions and bits of chili flakes:
Spicy, yes. I love it!
I thought I didn’t have kitchen gadgets to write about which is this week’s Lasang Pinoy Sundays theme. Well, I do! *insert Plurk banana dance here 
I would have taken a photo of my (almost) newly bought Rubbermaid can opener as suggested my Munchkin Mommy but then I thought about my Tupperware Quick Chef Food Processor which is rarely used. Mine though is bigger and colored white, because its older than the one in the link.
In fact I think I have had this for several years but have used it less than ten times only.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I used this de-mano gadget to chop tomatoes, garlic and fresh basil together for a pasta dish.
The tomatoes, garlic and fresh basil (when my basil plant was still “alive”) sitting in the Tuppeware Quick Chef Food Processor.
This was the dish when it was finally cooked:
