Peter's Favorite Pasta

I found stole this recipe from a blog of a friend of a friend. I have heard that she is a fantasic cook, so I thought I couldn't go wrong.  Sure enough this turned out delicious. I have to admit it was the first time I was working three burners but I think I am getting the hang of it now. Three burners turned into three thumbs up from the people I have made it for. 

Penne Pasta (1/2 to 3/4 box)

Chicken Breast Tenderloins

1 Pack Sliced Mushrooms

1 Jar Sun Dried Tomatoes

1 Packet Knorr Alfredo Mix (per directions)

Parmesan Cheese...i use the fresh shredded Wegmans cheese shop brand

Butter

Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper

• Saute chicken seasoned with salt and pepper in olive oil (set aside)
• In same pan, melt 2 Tablespoons of butter and saute mushrooms until cooked, add sun dried tomatoes and drizzle with olive oil.
• Cook pasta al dente drain/ don't rinse.
• In the pan pasta was cooked, prepare Alfredo mix per directions, then add the pasta until coated with sauce. (I just made the sauce in a sauce pan) hence burner #3.
• Mix in mushrooms, tomatoes and chicken (sliced thin), and lots of parmesan cheese!
• Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with more olive oil.   

Cant think of anyway to tweak this recipe. Its perfect as is.

Chicken Wing Pizza

So Dan thinks I should have titled this blog "What's burning at the Carroll's?" Funny huh? The funny part is that the next day when I was cooking whatever it was- I did burn it. I have thought about changing the name. We will see. Dan's roomate in college was from Rochester and also burned everything. So Dan thinks that if you are from the Roc you can't cook you just burn stuff. Anyway I got this recipe from my boss at work. I haven't tried it yet but what is not to love?

Buffalo Chicken Wing Pizza

• 1 jar of Nancy's Chicken wing sauce (found at Tops -not avalible at Wegmans)
• 2-3 Tbsp of Butter
• 2 boiled chicken breasts
• 1 4oz can of tomato sauce
• Blue Cheese dressing
• mozzerela cheese
• Franks hot sauce 
• optional chopped celery --(yuk)  

After the chicken is boiled, cube it small or shred it. Combine wing sauce, butter, tomato sauce, and enough Franks Hot to taste. Add chicken and let simmer while you roll out the pizza dough. On your pizza crust cover with blue cheese dressing to personal preference. Ladle chicken on to pizza crust (sauce will come with it) add additional sauce if needed and celery  if desired (yuk). Cover with Mozzerela and bake according to the directions on the dough.
