Guest for dinner =D

Tonight Tim and I got to have Landon and Nicole over for food and games. I made Penne a la Vodka with homemade French bread, Broccoli sauteed with olive oil, salt and chili flakes(gives them a little kick that is delicious!!!). I had a bunch of leftover egg whites so for dessert I made lemon meringue pie. The pasta was amazing, the broccoli turned out perfect, the french bread was not the best I have made, I tried making it with AP flour and it didn't turn out as good as the loafs with  bread flour in them. The lemon meringue pie had great flavor, but the lemon filling was a little runny and not enough of it. Overall everything was really great but I think next time I will do more of a lemon curd for the lemon filling in the pie so it is thicker. =D Any thoughts?

Recipe of the Week

My Recipe of the week going to be Cornish Pasties. Yum!
So I changed my recipe for the week last week and instead did Creamy Pesto and Sundried Tomato Penne. Tim loved it! It was super fast and easy to make and if you are like me I am always looking for fast and easy!

Creamy Pesto Penne
Serves 2
1 Boneless, skinless Chicken Breast
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup Cream
2 Tblsp Pesto
1Tblsp Sundried tomatoes(the kind that comes in a can and cut into strips)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 pound of Penne Pasta

Start cooking the pasta.
Cut the chicken breast into little chunks.
Pour 1 Tblsp Olive oil into a saute pan and saute the chicken breast.
At the end of cooking the chicken toss in the garlic and sundried tomatos and saute for a little bit more.
Add the pesto to pan and then the cream(if you want more sauce you can adjust here with a little more cream and pesto)
Simmer for a couple minutes until it looks like it's starting to thicken slightly.
Add the pasta and Parmesan cheese to the sauce and toss to coat all the pasta! Voila, easy and enjoy!

Note on Pesto: You can buy premade pesto at the grocery store. It comes in a can or tubes usually by the tomato sauces. If you guys want a recipe for homemade pesto I can post one!
