New Year's

Well, Chanukah is over and it's time to move from filling up on potato latkes and start celebrating the New Year. I've got the black-eyed peas soaking overnight, so I can cook them up on New Year's Day.

Tuna Sauce

We brought some dried spaghetti back from our last trip to Italy -- Pasta Di Semola Di Grano Duro. I made tuna sauce to go over it.

I sautéed sliced yellow onion in olive oil, threw in tomato purée with salt a freshly ground black pepper, then mixed in canned tuna. The tuna was water-packed, but I wish I had olive oil-packed. I also wish I had capers. I splashed in some pasta water, too, then the pasta, and mixed in some grated parmigiano cheese and splashed a few dropped of olive oil on top. Delicious.

Cheese Omelet For Lunch

The egg has fines herbes mixed in, and there is tomato purée underneath.
