Yummy Yummy Spicy Rigatoni!! :)

Okay here we go with ANOTHER pasta recipe :)

This one is very easy as well as the last one I posted!!

INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup oil
1/2 tbs crushed red pepper
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 tbs chopped (or minced) garlic
6 oz of chicken, sliced
1 jar of marinara sauce
1 jar of alfredo sauce
2 tsp butter (or more, you can never have enough butter!!)
1/4 cup peas
1 pkg of Rigatoni pasta, cooked to your liking!

DIRECTIONS!!! :) 
In a saute pan, heat oil over medium heat. I even went more then a 1/4 cup and I just made sure the bottom of the pan was covered :) Next, add your red pepper flakes, garlic, salt, and pepper. Saute the seasonings until the garlic has a carmalized look to it! add the sliced chicken in the saute pan and mix it all together so the spices get into the chicken! (you will know when to add the chicken when you can hardly stand over the pan anymore because all the spices are letting their flavor go!)

After you let the chicken sit for a little, add the marinara and alfredo sauce! :) Cover the saute pan and let that sit till you are ready to add the peas!

NEXT!! Go ahead and start boiling the water to cook your pasta. Once that is all ready to go, put your pasta in and let it cook!! Once your pasta is all done cooking, drain it and then put it in a large serving bowl. Before you drain the pasta however, turn the stove off under the sauce and add your butter and peas then cover again. (I always like to rinse off my noodles under warm water to get the extra startch off!) Once the butter is melted, pour the sauce right on top of the noodles sitting in that serving bowl! AND ENJOYYY!!! :) 

This was a recipe I've always wanted to try!! :) Now that i did, it's going in my recipe book :) I hope you all enjoy this dish as much as my family and I :)

Spaghetti Carbonara!!!

Okay everyone!! Recipe #3!! My husband absolutely LOVES this recipe! Now lets get started with exactly what you will be needing :)

Ingredients: 

1/2 lb of bacon
4 eggs
1 pkg of spaghetti
Parsley for garnish


I know only 3 ingredients!!! This recipe has been a night saver in our house when we need to go grocery shopping, but we haven't been paid yet!!

Directions: 

First, you want to defrost your bacon (it makes it easier to cut into chunks). Start boiling your water and heating your frying pan at the same time! Once your bacon is all defrosted, take it out of the package and but it into about 1 inch chunks! Once that is all done, put your bacon in your pan over medium heat (we dont want to burn the bacon!!). And at that same time, put your noddles in their pot!!

Cook your spaghetti (or you can even use angel hair pasta) to your liking. Alos, make sure you keep a close eye on your bacon. It will stick to the bottom of the pan if you are not careful!! Now while you are waiting for the pasta and bacon to be done, get out 4 large eggs and mix them in a small bowl. (I usually use a fork to scramble the eggs.) And once that is done put it aside. 

Now it's time for the action!!! Most likely your pasta will be done before the bacon so drain your pasta and put i back into the pan with a generous helping of butter, so the noodles wont stick!! Once your bacon is done, put all the bacon chunks into the spaghetti pan and also add about a tablespoon of the bacon grease! (I know it sooo unhealthy but it's super yummy and also makes the eggs stick better!!) Once you have that in, immediately add the eggs!!! Now once you add the eggs you need to grab tongs and start folding the spaghetti! Make sure you dont handle the pasta too much because you will have scrambled eggs! :) 

AND WA-LA!!!! You have a simple, easy and cheap recipe to make :) And like I said above, use parsley for garnish!! It makes it really pretty!!! :) 

I hope everyone loves this recipe as much as my husband and I do :) HAPPY COOKING!!!!! :D
