Dear Blog,
You have not heard from me in quite a while, but I'm in love. And you know what that is like. The world around you disappears. The sun shines brighter. The birds sing, oh just so pretty. The object of my love - my new kitchen. After weeks of washing dishes in the bathroom sink, cooking on the grill, refrigerator on the patio - tadaa - new kitchen revealed!
Now the real quest begins - cooking for kids in the new kitchen. For today, here's my hot dog pasta recipe. Whenever I make this the kids turn bottomless:
INGREDIENTS:
Pasta of your choice. We often use small penne or wheels. Always Barilla.
Hot dogs, bacon, or other meat of your choice
A little bit of onion, finely chopped
One big table spoon of sour cream
Frozen peas
Some Parmesan cheese, if desired
Salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
Boil the pasta. In the mean time, heat up a skillet and start frying the meat. Add the onion towards the end. It should get golden, never browned. When the pasta is drained, add it to the skillet, on low heat. Add the frozen peas, the sour cream (it will melt from the heat and mostly get sucked up by the pasta and other ingredients. Add some water and more sour cream if you want more of a sauce). Add the Parmesan, salt and pepper. Voila!
