On the side was Penne alla Vodka. With whole wheat pasta. It was a bad idea to serve it with the whole wheat. We like regular pasta better or that smart taste pasta or whatever kind of pasta, the kind that leans more towards regular but says it's healthier for you. Just not straight whole wheat. Kind of gritty, grainy, and tasted it like cardboard. Not that we've ever eaten cardboard. Not that I know of anyway. This was Trader Joe's whole wheat penne, maybe it's just more whole than we are used to, the pizza place has whole wheat we like with a broth sauce and some vegetables, maybe it's less than whole? The vodka sauce came from a jar, that was good. Can't all be from scratch when you're in a rush for dinner! And somehow, we're always in a rush for dinner.
Chicken cutlets fried with fresh breadcrumbs
Spinach, chicken, mozzarella, Parmesan and roasted tomatoes ready for the oven
Time for dinner...
I love what you made with those ingredients you had on hand. It looks so delicious, Carol!
ReplyDeleteYour chicken looks delicious and those tomatoes look great on it. I'm with you on the whole wheat pasta, cardboard for sure!
ReplyDeleteAnother Winner! Love the way you just throw things together and they turn out looking good!
ReplyDeleteSupposed you added a little more vodka to the sauce also!
Never eaten cardboard huh? Just ashes!!! LOL
(You knew I couldn't let that one go by)
That looks good enough to eat, Carol!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very impressive dish!
ReplyDeleteNever tried whole wheat pasta. I'm happy with Barilla's Plus and Whole Grain. Healthy enough for me.
This is an incredible creation! Got to try this with the spinach.
ReplyDeleteI love the plain and simple pasta, though sometimes, I use the colored spiral ones.
