Chelsea's Pasta Perfection

I good friend sent me this recipe not too long ago and I wanted to share it because it was so good :)

Ingredients:

• 4oz spaghetti or linguini
• 6oz of the canned chicken (like the chicken that pretends to be tuna you know?)hahaha
• 1/2 onion chopped
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• pinch red pepper flakes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 clove garlic (I minced the garlic)
• salt n pepper
• 1 tbsp of green olives or capers (i might try black olives hmm)

"Boil the pasta until al dente with a little bit of salt and olive oil in the water.

while the pasta is cooking, sauté the onions, garlic, and red pepper in 2 tbsp of olive oil until the onions are transparent.

Add the chicken, white wine, and green olives/capers. Bring it to a simmer, then reduce the heat a little and cook for 10 mins. Don't want to reduce the heat too much so that the alcohol cooks off. If it starts to get dry, just add more white wine. you want it to be pretty juicy cause the pasta will soak up a lot of the liquid.

Once its all done, throw it together and enjoy!:)"

 

Thanks Chels it was great!

Summer Pasta

It has been too long since I last posted, so I have brought out a favorite Summer Recipe to celebrate my return to blogging. I did not like vegetables at ALL when I was younger, but this pasta dish changed my mind about a few different veggies. This recipe originally calls for zucchini and squash, but you can substitute those for asparagus or peas or any other veggies you like.

Ingredients:

•  1 box farfalle pasta

• 2 yellow squash

• 2 zucchini

• 1 package Romano, Mozzarella, or Parmesan Cheese

• 3 tb Olive Oil

• 3 tb Butter

• Oregano

• Basil

• Salt and Pepper to taste

While the water is warming up for the pasta add olive oil and butter to a large frying pan to sauté the squash and zucchini. Next, slice the squash and zucchini into halves/quarters depending on how small you want them to be. Once you have started boiling the pasta add the squash and zucchini to the frying pan and add oregano and basil to taste.  After the pasta has boiled drain and add to a large serving dish with the squash and zucchini and cheese.
