It’s #PHLockdown Day 5 and I’m sharing with you our lunch for day 2. The ingredients I used here are our kitchen staples. I always have frozen ground chicken in the freezer and canned tomatoes. So when Ykaie requested for Spaghetti and Meatballs, I was able to cook it for her. So Linguine & Chicken Meatballs in marinara sauce was our lunch.
Sauce is so simple and easy to make. I just sautéed garlic in olive oil, then poured in the canned tomatoes. Then I let it simmer for a few minutes and seasoned it with oregano, basil, salt and sugar and it’s done. For the chicken meatballs, I combined: ground chicken, onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. I also added Malunggay powder for a boost in nutrition. Then I mold it into a ball and fried it before adding it to the sauce. It smelled so good while simmering.
Ayan, naka-2 serving agad si ate Ykaie…
Our Day 3 lunch menu is Crispy Binagoongan with eggplant, Steamed talbos ng Kamote, Cauli Rice, and sawsawang calamansi. I had to use all these veggies or they will go bad, hence this lunch.
I have little veggies left in the kitchen and scared to go out because I just heard the update of 307 confirmed cases as of today.
How about you mommies? How are you holding up?

Yum, this looks so good! Will have to try it sometime.
Spaghetti is one of mine favorite dishes…… Mostly i watch different recipes of this one…. and here it seems to be very delicious….I am surely gonna try it once….Thanks for sharing it….
As an Italian I want to say that in Italy we don’t eat pasta with meatballs. In a few words we prepare the sauce with the meatballs then we take a part of it and for lunch we eat spaghetti with the meat sauce and for dinner the meatballs with the remaining sauce. However, I really liked this recipe.

I need to try this for dinner! I know my family will love it. We’re all about pasta.

your spaghetti recipe looks out of this world! I am literally drooling! I can’t can’t can’t wait to make it, tomorrow for sure. Thank you.
This looks like a great option while we’re stuck at home. I might have to give this a try using a meat substitute in place of the chicken.
Italian food is one of my favorites, and we are quite addicted to it, at least twice a week this kind of cooking at home, very delicious.
