Assembly
5

Place water and salt in stockpot and place on a burner turned to medium to high heat. Once water is boiling drop uncooked pasta and cook for about 6 minutes. Pasta is going to be a little undercooked because it will still be sauteed with the rest of the ingredients. Drain water and set aside both pasta and pasta water.

6

Take a wok and place on medium heat, pour and saute your pesto sauce, add garlic, red onions, tomatoes, squash, eggplants, and okra.

7

Add a little bit of the pasta water and let simmer for about 3 minutes before adding the cooked pasta, bagoong isda, and calamansi juice. Toss for about a minute or 2 before taking it out from the heat to plate. Sprinkle daing na galunggong flakes on top.

Optional: You can also use toasted garlic to sprinkle or garnish on top.
