Pasta, my second love.

You know those nights when you get home and are absolutely starving but have absolutely no clue what to make for dinner? Well, that is me almost every night. This past Thursday, I decided instead of stopping at the store I would just throw together something together using the few random ingredients I had at home. My little meal turned out to be quite yummy, so I have decided to share it with all of you.
Let's call it...

Pasta Alla Myra

(It serves approx. 4 if you are good at portion control -- for us it didn't stretch so far.)

2 chicken breasts
2 hot italian sausages
1/2 lb. fettuccine
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can diced green chilies
4 cloves of garlic
onion flakes
red pepper flakes
extra virgin olive oil
fresh basil
S & P

Put a pot of water on and bring to a boil. Cook the noodles until al dente, remember to throw in some salt to season the noodles while cooking. While that cooks, put a skillet on medium high with some olive oil. Chop up your chicken breasts and cut the casings off the italian sausage. You can use sweet or hot sausage, I like things spicy so I went with hot. I also chopped up fresh garlic and cooked that with the meat. Once the meat was cooked I threw in my can of diced tomatoes and green chilies and added more olive oil. At this point turn down the heat to more of a simmer. While it was simmering, I added some salt and pepper, onion flakes, and a little bit of red pepper flakes. I don't really measure I just throw spices in and hope that I don't overdo it. Once my noodles were cooked and my sauce had been simmering for about 15-20 minutes I threw the noodles in with the sauce and also tossed in a handful of fresh basil...and some more olive oil for good measure. Toss it all together and...waala, a tasty dish.

Enjoy!
