Another Day Another Donut

 

This week I had the opportunity to spend Sunday night at 9 o'clock with my family watching FNS together. And one of their first questions was..."You really didn't know someone was coming back"

 

 

 

 

The response? NO!!! The production team can be smooth and we really didn't know that when we got down to 5 people we were quickly about to make it 6 again. They just LOVE to surprise you...

Burst Tomato Pasta

RECIPE:

¼ Olive Oil

8 Garlic Cloves - sliced

6-8 Large Tomatoes cut into 1 inch chunks or 3 pints cherry/grape tomatoes

3-4tsp Kosher salt

1 tsp Red Wine Vinegar

3-4 Tbs Chopped Basil

1lbs Linguine

2 Chicken Breast, split in half, breaded and cooked See Recipe

Heat oil in a pan on medium low and add garlic.  Cook till just slightly golden about 3-5minutes and add tomatoes.  Let tomatoes cook until tender, 15 -20minutes.  Smash tomatoes down with a spoon and add vinegar, basil and salt, cook for another 5-15minutes until you have the consistency you want. Taste to see if it needs more salt.  Toss with pasta and serve.

Serves  4-6 portions

Notes:

  • Depending on what tomatoes you use you may have more or less liquid during cooking
  • Don’t over-cook the tomatoes; they should still be chunky with some liquid in the pan
