Inspiration
Chilling with friends on a Friday night. Stuck in traffic, running out of time. Feeling a bit panicked. Then it hits me – I’ve got some chicken breasts 🐓. As soon as I arrive home, I season them up with salt and oregano, coat them in tomato sauce (the kind Lulu always keeps in her fridge), cover them with cheese, and toss them in the oven for 40 minutes at 350°C. What to serve on the side? Bingo! 💡 Pasta.
But oh-oh, not much in the fridge. A red onion, garlic, and some deseeded chili 🌶, all sizzling in butter with a dash of olive oil to keep that butter from burning. Then, toss in the perfectly cooked pasta and squeeze a lemon over it. Voila, like pure kitchen magic!
While we’re at it, our buddies show up, and we keep them busy making a salad and popping open a bottle of wine. Bam! A fantastic and ridiculously easy night.
Tip: The beauty of flexible cooking is that with just a handful of ingredients, you can whip up a whole range of dishes. This recipe? It’s a mash-up of some previous kitchen experiments: Puttanesca’s Pasta and Puttanesca Sauce’s Chicken.
