What am I going to cook for supper???? I need it in a hurry! You should keep a few basic ingridents in your pantry for just this occasion. I have already suggested you keep frozen grilled chicken breasts on hand. Today I also suggest you always have pasta, EVOO & pesto on the pantry shelf.
12-16 ounce box of favorite pasta
3 T. or so of EVOO
1 T. Hot Chili Paste
Up to 1 # Grilled or cooked chicken breasts
1/2 or so c. of Parmesean
6 T. prepared Pesto
Begin by bringing your water to boil to cook whatever type of pasta you prefer. Since I only need a small serving, I cooked only part of the box of penne pasta. ANY kind of pasta will do though.
Put enough EVOO in the bottom of your saute pan to cover it and heat. I sauteed a green and red pepper tonight and could have added an onion, but didn't. Don't have these on hand---that's ok-it will still be good without it.
After the vegetables were tender, I added 2 chicken grilled chicken breasts that I had sliced into long thin slices and cooked until warm with 1 T. hot chili paste as seen above. This is found in the refrigerated section of the produce aisle somewhere around the herbs.
Toss drained pasta, chicken, 1/2 c. Parmesan & 6 T. pesto.
WAA LAA----Speedy & Delicious Supper
Pasta and parm can't go wrong with that! I have been living on this kind of recipe for years...substitue strips of portebello muschroom for the chicken sometimes..or shrimp. I am about chickended out! Not sure about the hot chili paste part....I am Tony's girl.
