Tagliatelle and Chicken Strips

“But I have this against you: you have abandoned the passionate love you had for me at the beginning. Revelation‬ ‭2:4‬”

I love how the Holy Spirit is able to shut me up when I start coming up with silly excuses – He gently says “babygirl, you have abandoned the passion you had for writing”, but because He is able to restore what the enemy steals from us, yes, even my passion😊 I am back here and I have my priorities back in order🙌🏽.

We are left with only two meals before we close off this #PastaThemedWeek so today we have tagliatelle, it’s my favorite of all time.

I prepared the pasta as per the instructions on its pack💁🏽‍♀️ while I fried my chicken strips in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper, we don’t leave herbs behind😋

Can I be forgiven for not taking pictures of the whole preparation – some nights are not like the others but I will definitely improve as we go.

I put a cheese sauce over my pasta and mixed it with the cooked chicken strips.

PenneDrumsticks

So I bought different kinds of pasta because if you plan on having pasta for the whole week, you cannot afford to be making the same type over and over again😅.

Tonight I thought left me pair my penne with drumsticks and see what happens.

First things first, cooked the pasta as per the instructions on its pack then I fried bell peppers and added drumsticks.

Further browned my drumsticks with a soy sauce then added these canned tomatoes (blended them first)

At this point I had all my favorite sauces and herbs mixed together with the gravy and chicken in preparation for my pasta.

Added the cooked penne and my PenneDrumsticks were ready to be eaten 😋😋

To think that I had committed to both myself and friends that I will post once a day – I guess I underestimated how a slight change of routine can mess up the rest of the day😅

Anyway, be that as it may we are back at it and I just want to post all the dishes I did on my #PastaWeek theme uhm not on a single blog post though😝.

I don’t have all the pictures of the ingredients I used in this recipe.

I cooked spaghetti as per the instructions on its pack while grilling fish on the oven.

This was a very quick meal because after putting cheese sauce on the cooked spaghetti I tossed baby tomatoes and parsley and added my grilled fish, doesn’t it look yummy? It tasted just as good😊

Creamy Bacon Pasta #PastaWeek

Is it me or do you also struggle to stick to a “weekly meal plan”, I know with me it is because I change my mind on the very last minute so I tried having a theme rather, and on this particular week I decided to have a “pasta themed week”, I’ve always loved pasta; and as a result I thought why not have it the whole week?

Being a liker of trying out things I’ve never tried before I started with “Farfalloni”. I cooked it for 12 minutes in salted boiled water – I try not to exceed 12 minutes when making pasta because honey no one likes an overcooked pasta.

Normally my pasta dishes are paired with chicken, because I was going to do it the whole week I had to make it different so I fried mixed bell peppers, mushrooms and bacon seasoned with garlic spice, onion spice (my husband doesn’t like onion so I buy the spice rather), white pepper, aromat (we love aromat) and coriander. You can use 1/2 teaspoon measurements.

What is a creamy pasta without a cream? I started preparing it on the side: it had a spoon of flour, a spoon of cream of mushroom soup, one cup of milk and 2 spoons of cream cheese. I blended it for 30 seconds then poured it over the bacon mix.

And I lastly added my al dente pasta, to say this was the yummiest and creamiest bacon pasta would be an understatement…
