Have not had pasta for few months now. Then last week, as I were browsing for creative recipes. I saw a handful of recipes using breadcrumbs. I decided to try using breadcrumbs but mush have chili flakes.

Couldn’t get fresh tuna but got tuna flavoured with mango chili in can. Using my sliced mushrooms that are showing some brown colour before they go bad. This is simple straight forward and easy to do. Most recipes only lightly toast the breadcrumbs on pan.

I have added tuna mango chili into the bread crumbs. Then using another can of tuna mango chili, mushrooms with pasta. It’s delicious, flavourful and extra spicy for me and crunch from tuna breadcrumbs. Let’s cook!!!!
