Porky Pig Pasta

I've been so behind with my blog this month that I just don't know where to start. I've missed a few Culinarty: Original Recipe Round-ups and it's starting to make me feel guilty. In real time my plate of spaghetti would be covered in fluffy green mould considering how many weeks ago I actually cooked it.

Gee.. I'm not even sure what to call this. I'll be totally original here and name it porky pig pasta.

The breadcrumbs I used were el cheapo tipo de Coles. Looking through the ingredients list I was a little confused after seeing fish. An email to Coles quickly cleared that up.


Thank you for your email regarding the Coles Bread crumbs and the ingredients.

Our Quality Control Department have advised that we add tuna to increase the Omega 3 content in bread.
