This meal was an every day meal. Just another day in the kitchen, opened up my refridgerator and started dreaming about what to make. I had a whole chicken, vegitables, and lots of pasta. Perfect! I love lemon and rosemary together, so I rubbed down the chicken in with good old fashioned butter and salt, sprinkled it with dried rosemary, and topped it off with thinly sliced lemon rounds... all while humming a gentle tune of course. IN GOES THE BIRD.
The pasta was super easy. Cook accordingly, I like mine a bit al dente. In a separate pan I sauted onions, corn, green bell peppers and tomatos (for some extra color), in a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. Here comes the lemon, just a squeeze, just before you serve it. What I love about pasta is all the different hings you can put in it. I could have used three very different vegitables, or even done bacon, or ANYTHING really! As long as you know what three go together :). Pasta = Endless possibilities.
So, even though not many emotions were boiling in me during this meal, there is a definite love for the simplistic and of the everyday, "have to make dinner so let's see what's in the fridge" feeling. Especially when your husband thinks it's the best meal he's ever had, though he says it about all the ones you make...haha...thanks to my loving husband, this meal was more than just simple, it was loved!
