Salted dried fish is tuyo in Filipino. Dubbed as “the poor man’s fish” because of its cheap price, here is another leveled-up version of the humble tuyo. I’m sure that there have been so many versions of the Tuyo Pasta. This one was done by my daughter for our kitchen bonding this week. We’re not strangers to how tuyo tastes like. We also eat tuyo for breakfast with garlic fried rice and fried eggs. That’s how we’ve been eating tuyo here at home until now. My daughter got inspired and this is her adaptation of the Tuyo Pasta recipe. We’re not expecting this at all. This Tuyo Pasta recipe is so tasty. The sun-dried tomatoes complemented the salty smokiness taste of tuyo flakes really well. There’s enough creaminess from the butter that is not overpowering the other ingredients. It’s a balanced taste! It’s a hit in the family. I hope you’ll enjoy it too.
