Pasta for Dinner

Wednesday June 19, 2013   

pasta dinner

When Mike works late I’m left to my own devices for dinner. I say the reason I default to pasta is due to my Italian ancestry, but actually I just find it incredibly easy and I’m an incredibly lazy cook. In all honesty if I had to cook for myself these days I’d end up being an involuntary vegetarian because, though I don’t dislike eating meat, I truly dislike cooking it. So everything I make tends to be meatless. Likely another factor in why Mike is the cook around here.

    I absolutely love cooking. The smells, the craftness of it – but, hey I understand not everyone’s got the feel for it. What is it you dislike about cooking meats?

        Aw girl, it takes practice and Mike can help! I used to be paranoid too, but after you set a timer so long and then don’t use one, it’s like you know (like a dog waiting at the bus stop for ya) Also, pan cook a chicken breast and if you’re really unsure, just take a knife and pierce the center of it, if the chicken is still slightly pink, it only needs a little longer. Heck, take it off and it will probably cook through cause it’s still hot. Why not check out some cool classes at Whole Foods or something for a cute date with Mike? :)

    Holy crap man I feel you. I usually end up with just avocado on toast for dinner when I’m home alone!

    Ugh, meat is just too difficult. I find it easier grilling boca burgers over real burgers because I know even if I undercook it, its just vegetables!

      Saaaaaaame. On the raw occasion I do cook raw meat it’s always overcooked. I just don’t trust myself to cook it properly enough & it’ll be my cause of death Dx

    That pasta looks INCREDIBLY delicious! I totally get you with the involuntary vegetarian thing too – the most I can come up with cooking meat at home is opening a can of tuna… Hehehe. ;)

    The pasta looks super yummy!!!! And yes cooking meat can be quite bothersome as you have to worry if it’s cooked on the inside or have you overcooked it, etc.
