Recipe: Tallarines blancos con atún (pasta with white sauce and tuna)
Tallarines blancos con atún is one of the dishes that were in rotation at my aunties’ but I never got sick of it. In fact, it was one of my favourites. Sadly, I never got the original recipe from auntie Sumi. This is my best attempt to approximate the dish using my taste memory and the current family recipe.

I made this recipe few days ago. I used gluten free flour (maize starch, tapioca starch and rice flour) instead (as I had some at home). Delicious. It reminded me of our childhoods and having lunch at my aunties’. A meal that filled my belly and my soul 🙂 Thank you.
