Leftover Pinoy Longganisa Pasta

I must admit, I'm a sucker for Longganisa and if ever we have leftovers, I immediately set aside a few pieces for a pasta recipe. My love for it rooted way, way back when I was still in elementary school. My parents used to make them and I was able to make a commission by selling a few kilos to my teachers. Whatever was left was cooked for lunch or dinner. I never got tired of it and when I went to high school, I had it once a week. I learned that it tastes good when you dip it in a garlic-vinegar dipping sauce and the oil in which the longganisa was cooked are good as toppings on the rice. Longganisa became one of my ultimate comfort food.
