I was very excited to have the girls over for dinner tonight. Amanda and I were watching a Tasty video of pasta 4 ways and this was the final video. It was very enticing, especially because the lunch we were eating was cheese-its, so we decided to make it a girls night!
It was really nice having company and conversation while cooking. It was also nice to have people to talk through the process with. I wasn’t sure if it mattered if I cooked the sausage or chicken first or if I could cook them at the same time. Lindsay pointed out chicken takes longer to cook and that it’s all heat so we would probably be good no matter what. We decided to cook the chicken, then the sausage, and then add the chicken back to the pan. I think it didn’t actually need that many steps, but oh well!
I realized after I added the Cajun spice and the cream that it wasn’t all going to fit in the pan the way it was suppose to. Thank goodness Kara was
there and could reason very clearly that we simple put it in a larger pan that was already sitting on the next burner.
After adding the pasta, cheese, and parsley, we stirred it until is was thick. Then we served it with yummy broccoli that Kara made. It was delicious. We split the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I just love this picture. I love that these girls have been so supportive of my resolution. I just love these girls.
Lindsay made some delicious rice krispie treats. I’m really excited that there were leftovers for work tomorrow!
