Pasta this week!

Good day everyone! Ok so I’ve been thinking about it for the last few days and thought this post should have a fun recipe in it that is easy and will make you look like a star in the Kitchen.


It’s easy and takes a short time so you can cook it in front of your significant other and you will look like you know what you’re doing. Which is the key to leaving a great impression, look like you know what you’re doing!

What you will need

• 1 package thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta.

• ½ lbs. of bacon….. Bacon is meat candy BTW… Cut into small pieces like bacon chips

• I green onion bundle, (other vegies to taste… like mushrooms, carrots, broccoli etc.)

• 12 oz. Chicken breast, (Cajun or other flavor as you like) Cubed ½ X ½

• 1 clove garlic

• Parmesan Cheese (8 oz. package)

• 1 egg

• Spices…. So a secrete here, when you re cooking for another person make it your own by changing the taste each time, you can do this by changing spices. Note to self, make sure they are spices that go with Italian food, big mistake to try and put Apple pie spice in this dish! Be smart stick with Marjoram, Cajun, and Garlic.

In a large pot start to boil water, the more water and bigger the pot, the longer it takes! Once water is started, sauté (frying) bacon, garlic, and chicken in a skillet. Add chicken 5 minutes after you start with the Bacon. Cook on high until the Bacon starts to get hard and chicken starts to turn white (juices run clear). Then add in Onion and other Vegies and seasoning to skillet turn down heat to low and cove for about 5 minutes.

Next when the water is boiling, break pasta in ½ and boil for 6-8 minutes. This thin pasta cooks faster than the normal pasta. Check it when it is soft it’s done. Drain off the water, after drained put pasta back in the Pot and crack a raw egg over the hot pasta. The pasta will cook the egg while you stir it in with the Parmesan Cheese. Next add all ingredients from the skillet into the pasta and using a tongs, turn the bacon and chicken mixture into the past. You should have enough for 4 people, remember if you have leftovers, ask them if they would like to take some home…..DO NOT Hoard it!

Serve on a plate with Garlic bread and a nice WHITE wine. Try to remember this; cheap wine makes you seem cheap! Don’t break the bank but a good rule of thumb is $13 – $25 on a bottle, ask clerk for help if you don’t know….nothing to sweet. Sweet is for desert wines (we will get into wines at a later date) If you can’t stand white wine, tough! Drink it, it will not kill you! Remember, we are trying to impress them….. Think them first and then me. Go slow and be calm.

Enjoy the meal.
