Round 2 of using the vegetable and tomato paste. This time with frozen pesto, frozen green veg, and canned springwater tuna mixed with pasta. Another win, definitely added an extra depth of flavour without tasting tomatoey for very little cost and effort. I will say I'm also proud of my little habit of chucking in some cardamom seeds to pasta or other non Indian dishes. It adds a certain je ne sais quoi.

Pretty good meal for zero prep. Cost about 3.32 a serve minus the homemade pesto, and most of that would've been the tuna and Fancy Expensive Pasta

Ah, our familiar Force is back after spouting such alien statements this morning... And yes I'm very proud of this concoction. I really do love a quick and dirty pasta meal. Bonus it was sirena 185g on special. Tastes nicer I reckon ๐Ÿ˜›
