On lazy days when my family is in the mood for pasta I like to cut corners and buy a nicer brand pasta sauce instead of making my own which I normally like to do. Today I chose vodka sauce. I got the Gionatti's brand which is ok on it's own but close to perfect when I add a few dashes of some extra spice. I pour the sauce into a pot, I add herbs de Provence, fresh garlic, red pepper flakes, a dash of cream, and strips of roasted red peppers. I let the sauce simmer as I sauté the chicken breast and boil water for the pasta. A quick and delicious meal made in under 30 minutes. Don't forget the crusty bread!
I chose intentions as my "One little Word" this year. I was chatting about work/life with one of my best friends who has been in my life for over 17 years a few months ago and she gave me probably the best advice I needed in that exact moment, which was to set my intention each day before arriving at work. This happened to be around the same time that my colleagues were sharing their "OLW's" and I thought I would try it out as well. I thought about my conversation with my friend and it hit me...intentions... I wasn't sure if it was the right kind of word but it felt right to me. It is a word that could fit in every aspect of my life. I am constantly thinking about my intentions and they have quickly become the fuel of my day to day. Intentions. Setting the intention. Treating people with good intentions. Doing everything with the best intention no matter the situation. What's your "OLW"?
Mmm... do you need an extra guest for dinner? Your description of how you doctor the sauce is rich in detail - and flavour. I can practically smell it from here... Love the addition of the crusty bread!
ReplyDeleteSounds delish!! 🍝
ReplyDeleteThis really does sound delicious! I much prefer a day where the sauce can simmer all afternoon, but this sounds like a very good second choice.
