I just tried to write a recipe with each Japanese size of cans or vegetables. 🙂 It was a little hard for me, but I enjoyed it. XD
“Pasta with tomato and tuna”
Ingredients :
for one or two servings
Pasta 200g
a can of tuna 80g
tomato
3 green asparagus
2 cloves of garlic
1 red pepper
Olive oil
Salt
Black pepper
Directions :
1. Fry lightly some slices of garlic and red pepper with some olive oil in a saucepan.
2. Add tuna and pieces of peeled tomato.
3. Add some salt, some black pepper, boiled green asparagus and boiled pasta.
4. Toss pasta with sauce. It’s better to sprinkle Parmesan cheese on it. Serve immediately.
Wow, you did a great job! And now I think I want to try the recipe!
Just 3 little corrections:
For ingredients: I’d put 1 tomato (adding the 1) and 3 green asparagus spears (or spears of asparagus)
Also, for the recipe, I’d say “Lightly fry” instead of “Fry lightly”
What a great recipe you wrote! Thanks for commenting.
Thank you so much for your advice, Yvonne! 🙂
My new words were serving(s), clove, lightly, peeled, toss, and spear(s). Now I know!!
“Lightly fry” is right, isn’t it? I see.
I enjoy your web site and I’ll be able to learn a lot from you! 🙂 I’ll also post this recipe on my blog.
You are welcome! Both are correct – lightly fry or fry lightly, but I think lightly fry sounds better in your sentence. More natural. I’m going to go check out your blog!
Ummm…I see…both are correct… I’ll keep it UP! See you soooooon! 🙂
Yum-yum!
