Pasta with tuyo (dried herring)
This is another one of my cheat-the-kids dishes. If I have my secret pasta sauce to bamboozle friends’ kids into eating vegetables, I made this pasta dish to cheat my 12-year-old daughter into eating tuyo which she absolutely loathed. There was an overnight school affair one time when breakfast on the second day consisted of fried tuyo, eggs and sinangag (fried rice). And she skipped breakfast. Sheesh. I told myself a solution would present itself somehow. And when I saw the jars of tuyo (dried salted herrings) in olive oil in the supermarket, I figured it might be the answer. I tell you,she ate this pasta dish without complaints. Of course, she did not know until afterwards what was in it.
This was actually the first dish I cooked with the jar of tuyo in olive oil. The second was the pinakbet without bagoong that I posted earlier. Like I said, my intention was to use tuyo much like Italians use anchovies in their cooking. With the way both this pasta and the pinakbet turned out, I am encouraged to use tuyo the next time I make pesto. That means pili nuts (instead of pine nuts), kalamansi (in lieu of lemon) juice, basil, garlic, pepper, olive oil and tuyo as a substitute for anchovies.

awww… this looks GOOD. i’m just super allergic to tuyo… hanggang tingin nalang!
LOL everyone has his/her own deprivations.
i can’t wait for the tuyo pesto recipe!!! hope it’s sooner . . .
connie, the pesto you’re planning on making sounds good already … and i noticed that you really love bell peppers on food, ‘no?
i’m going to give tuyo a try because my little girl keeps requesting puttanesca. what i usually do naman is add 2 pcs of daing (the type na medyo basa) on top of a tin of anchovies. actually masarap din kung puro daing, cheaper pa.
can i add olives? what type of pasta did you use? ok lang ba if i use spaghetti noodles? i looovee your site — you make cooking sound so easy and enjoyable. i have one last question though — the recipes you post are good for how many servings. I just got married and i am not too familiar with cooking but i do enjoy baking
wow! i can’t wait to try this! i can almost taste it now! lol
just curious..how did your daughter react when you told her?
I love pesto and I love tuyo!!
will try this soon!! 
very soon, joy.
misispi, in the previous recipe, someone suggested tinapa. sounds ok too, ‘no?
Boo, yes, olives and even capers will be good.
any kind of pasta will do, although with light sauces like this one, the ideal pasta would have grooves and ridges to catch the sauce. most of the recipes here are for 4-5 persons.
Rizza, she smirked and said it sucked. But that was AFTER eating a huge plateful of pasta hahahahaha if it really sucked she would have skipped her meal like she did in school hehehehe
Go, Didi!
I can’t wait to try some of the tuyo in olive oil. It sounds so interesting. I already have a list of foods to bring back. I just hope we’ll have time to go shopping

I think your tuyo tastes better than achovies.
