Slimy Noodles anyone???


A day late but not a meal forgotten... So last night I went over to Omar's house and told him I was going to make dinner... I know ambitious for sure. I guess I was feeling overly confident since I hadn't killed us yet with the 3 meals I have done thus far. So on my way I went....

Last night I made Chicken Breast over Wheat Linguine with Pesto, Minced Garlic, Tomatoes, and Spinach. It was really good! What made it better was a fine Malbec red that came from Paso :) Yummy.

Things I would change... When I added the pesto to the noodles made the noodles become sort of clumpish.. I wanted them to be slimy and smooth like what I envision Kraft Mac and Cheese is... So maybe next time I will add milk and butter before the pesto? If any of you are reading this and know how to make noodles more slimy I am all ears:) The chicken was a little dry but that was partly due to the fact that I didn't let it marinate long enough in the olive oil and pesto.

All in all it was a wonderful evening.. good food... better wine.. and company that makes doing a 1000 piece puzzle fun:)

ps... the next few days I am working the closing shift so no dinner from me... but Sunday I will be back online making something fabuloso!
