Pasta
This weeks theme seemed to center around pasta.
Monday night I made Campanelle with Green Olives. Sadly I could not find campanelle, so I had to sub out for bow ties, close enough..sort of. This was a pretty straight forward dish. Saute the olives with some garlic and tomato paste, then add the pasta, top it off with homemade bread crumbs. The flavor was pretty solid. If you like green olives, then this is awesome. However, if you don’t, you’d probably hate it.
For dessert I made the same apple cake I made for my brother & his wife a few weeks ago.
Thursday night I made more pasta, but this one was way better than Monday nights. It was chicken marsala, pasta style. Basically, cut up & cooked chicken. Made a sauce out of mushrooms, garlic, tarragon, chicken broth and marsala. Combine the chicken with the sauce and add some parmesan. The fact that it has tarragon makes it awesome, I love tarragon, it smells fantastic and tastes even better.
For dessert I made Rum Raisin Bread Pudding. I love me some bread pudding. Although it needed more rum for sure. More cinnamon would have helped too.
I think my next post will be mostly about snack foods.
