long ago, when i was in a stable relationship, which was loooong ago, i would occasionally grab one of those frozen skillet meals from the grocery store. they were decent, but nothing to write home about. i thought to myself, “i can do better than this.” and i did.
i don't know (tear)
but there was a problem- i don’t know what to call this thing! i’ve been making it, refining it, and eating it for years, and i still have no idea what to call it.
this is where you, my wonderful readers, come in. help me name it and i’ll give you 5 dollars. really, i’ll send you a 5 dollar bill if i choose your name.
so what’s in the dish?
pink sauce (marinara and alfredo)
sauteed, green beans, red and yellow peppers,
and pasta
your name here
pink sauce
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup heavy cream
56g butter (1/2 stick)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2c parmagiano reggiano cheese
freshly cracked black pepper
2 chicken breasts, cooked any way you like ( i saute mine)
2 red bells peppers, sliced
2 yellow bell peppers, sliced,
green beans, ends trimmed
1 cup pasta, cooked
melt the butter in a large sauce pan. add cream and heat until just boiling. add cheese, garlic, and pepper. add marinara sauce. mix in pasta.
while heating the cream/butter mixture, saute peppers and green beans in olive oil.
add peppers, green beans, and chicken to the pink sauce and pasta. serve
