CAJUN CHICKEN PENNE PASTA RECIPE

Hey folks it is Barry here welcome to my virgin
kitchen it is Barry here, today I am showing you how to make a really simple penne chicken
pasta dish. It is so good and in fact a dish that I just
chucked together the other night I posted it on Instagram and people were like oh my
gosh I want to see how you made that so I. Am just going to cook along and make the dish
again. Hopefully you know when you make something
and just throw all the ingredients together it never tastes the same but I am going to
try my best, here are the ingredients, hit pause and write them down.
The first step I am doing is with these mini chicken fillets is give them a dry rub in
the Cajun seasoning all over, so there is no oil, a complete dry rub, but you can use
oil if you like to speed things up! We also have some spring onions (scallions),
pepper, and chopped tomatoes we have some cream, chardonnay, pepper and smoked salt
flakes, super good.

A chicken stock cube and some fresh penne pasta.
All good let me show you how to do it. Alright so the first step is to just get a
load of flames for my hob the first one is warming up the water for my pasta, my griddle
pan is getting nice and hot, and this pan will be perfect for our sauce thing.
The chicken get the griddle pan nice and hot, cook them for 4 minutes either side. The chicken
is nice and thin so should not take much longer than that, turn it over as I say 4 minutes
either side and then just leave it to rest. Fantastic so I am just taking that chicken
off of the heat and my water is ready now you can probably hear boston licking his bowl
he is drinking I will show you in a bit.

I. Am going to get my pasta into the bowl, so
that is fresh pasta in there, in it goes. Going to have to wash my hands now but I think
he can smell the chicken. Anyhow lets work on our pan now for the sauce.
For the sauce that pan is nice and hot about a tablespoon of oil, when I add in these ingredients
it may sizzle as it is hot, but in go the tomatoes, peppers and spring onions.
Hopefully you will agree that is looking colourful I am crumbling in a chicken stock cube now,
this is our cream in that goes, oh yeah baby, nice and soothing, a generous seasoning of
pepper, and this is some smoked salt, so good! Yes my friends this is our chardonnay oh yes,
definitely chardonnay, I am putting about 2 tablespoons in there, nice little fizz to
it, quite fruity but that alcohol content will burn off so you get that flavour in there.
Mix this right through it will foam up a bit.

The last thing is a sprinkle of fresh chopped
parsley about a tablespoon of that just going to mix it through and add more at the end
to garnish it too. But we are just going to warm this through,
keep our eye on the pasta, it probably has about another 2 minutes left, we will drain
it off and bring together. Amazing so my pasta is done I have drained
that off, our sauce is nice and done all I. Am going to do is push the sauce into our
fresh pasta.

And then you want to get your spatula in there and give it a darn good stir
around get it all nice and coated. In terms of finishing it off plonk your pasta
into a big old dish, place the Cajun chicken strips on top, give another season of black
pepper and then finish with more parsley. I hope you agree it is looking stonking, thought
I would show you how to make it and as I say in a more relaxed setting cooking along, it
tastes amazing, send me a picture if you try it, check out my last video and subscribe
if you have not already. See you next time..

Brown Butter Garlic Angel Hair Pasta

Today on The Stay At Home Chef I'm showing you how to make Brown Butter & Garlic Angel Hair Pasta This is such an easy and versatile dish it's one of those recipes you'll use again and again. You can serve it up as a plain side dish or add some chicken and veggies for a complete meal. Really, the possible combinations are endless. We're going to start by bringing some salted water to a boil.

It's important that you use salted water for this because it really affects the final product. While we are waiting for the water to boil, we'll move over to another saucepan and melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter Once the butter is melted, add in 2 garlic cloves. Give the pan a good occasional swirl and keep cooking until the butter foams. While we are waiting for the butter to foam, we can start cooking our pasta.

Cook it for the amount of time recommended on the package. Once the butter starts to foam you really need to keep an eye on it It will quickly move from yellow to tan to brown. And once it reaches brown, you'll want to remove it from the heat and pour it in to a separate container. You want that deep, rich, golden brown.

Once your pasta is cooked and drained pour that deliciously nutty brown butter sauce right over your pasta go ahead and discard the garlic cloves. Stir in 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese and you're ready to serve. You can garnish it with some sliced chives or chopped parsley. And that's it.

I promise you are going to love this simple pasta. Thanks for watching! You can find the full written recipe in the video description. Be sure to subscribe and check out my channel where I have more than 100 restaurant quality recipes you can easily make at home. See you later!.

Binging with Babish Pasta Aglio e Olio from Chef

  Hey baby, I hear the blues a-callin'
Tossed salad and scrambled eggs   Rude Boy   Stop your running around   It's time to straighten right out   Stop your running around   Making trouble everyday   Ah-ah Rudy, A message to you Rudy   A message to you   Rude Boy!   Growing older each day  Mmm Hey guy's what's up I'm back with a new episode And it's been kind of a long week so I wanted to make something a little quicker, a little easier this week And I've always wanted to try that Pasta Aglio e Olio from that flirtatious scene in "Chef" And look at this, it only has six ingredients - perfect. So we're going to start by bringing a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil And while that comes up to a boil, we're going to peel our garlic And this is a great little trick You take all the cloves of garlic and you put 'em in a Tupperware And give them a good shake Like just shake the hell out of it And then, when you open it up you have perfect peeled... Oh that didn't even really work.. Did it? I guess we're going to peel these by hand So get your tools ready And get to peeling.

Be sure to use your scotch as necessary Now we want to slice all the cloves of garlic very thinly And put them aside while we pick our parsley leaves off their stems. Now we want to get rid of any big, thick stems, but smaller ones are okay. Because we're going to chop this pretty fine. So we're going to chop it up very fine Before heading over to the stove and add our pasta to the boiling water and add about a half a cup of olive oil to a large saut pan Once shimmering, we're going to add the garlic And just when you start to see it turning brown, add the red pepper flake and remove it from the heat The garlic will continue to cook until a nice toasty golden brown At which point you're going to add the pasta We're going to add back some pasta water to help create more of a cohesive sauce Before mixing in the parsley A big squeeze of lemon juice And give it one last check for seasoning And hit it with any salt and pepper that it needs Give it a good stir And then plate it up just like John does with a big carving fork Make a nice little nest like that, in the centre of the bowl Now this is an example of a recipe that is greater than the sum of its parts It was absolutely fantastic If you don't believe me, let's hear what I said after my first bite "mmm...

Holy sh*t that was good" Mmm It really was that good. The only thing missing was John Favreau for me to make sexy eyes at.

Binging with Babish Breakfast Dessert Pasta from Elf

Hey baby, I hear the blues are callin', tossed salads and scrambled eggs~ "No, no but Buddy don't, uh, you don't have to call me, okay?" "Good idea, you call me." "Okay, I'm gonna hang up now." "I painted a picture of a butterfly!" "Good." "I'm gonna hang up now." [Buddy off-screen] "I tuned the piano." "Okay, I love you. Bye." "Mhmm." [Gross spaghetti noises] [crunching noises] "Mmmmm." Hey, what's up guys. Welcome to a special gross-out holiday episode of Binging with Babish. And I think this place needs a little bit of holiday cheer.

Let's uh, ah that's good enough. So to make Buddy's dessert breakfast pasta, and that's a rare triple oxymoron by the way, boil your pasta, have a friendly Frasier debate: And you want to cook your pasta slightly underdone because we're going to finish cooking it in the sauce. This is an important tip and easy way to upgrade almost any pasta sauce- so you want to add the pasta to some bubbling sauce in a saut pan (give it a good flip). Now we're gonna finish it with a solid tablespoon of butter (this is gonna add a lot of richness and unctuousness to the sauce), and, of course, don't forget a little bit of olive oil.

Toss that in, now really try to get some air to impress any kind of Youtube audience that might be watching... And just visually, you're going to see a huge difference between pasta that was just tossed with a sauce and pasta that was finished with butter and olive oil in the pan. I mean, which one would you rather eat? I'm gonna go ahead and destroy the worse one and save the good one for later 'cause I have a feeling I'm gonna need it. And it's time to Buddy-up our pasta.

We're starting with chocolate chips, handful of M&Ms, an entire fudge Poptart, broken into pieces (make sure you use one of the hard corners for a little bit of garnish). It's oddly beautiful in a David Lynch movie kind of way. Handful of marshmallows, good glug of maple syrup, caramel sauce, and of course, chocolate sauce. And it's time to tuck in.

Now this was far and away the most disgusting thing not only have I made for this show but I ever made in my entire life. Gotta get that horrible flavor out of my mouth, stat. [Music fades out].

Beth's Cheesy Pizza Pasta Bake RecipeENTERTAINING WITH BETH

- [Beth Le Manach] Hey guys,
today I am participating in the "New Year New You" co-lab
hosted by Kin Community. So this whole month Kin
creators have been up-loading their favorite videos that will help you get back on track for the new year. So after my video is done be
sure to click the annotation and you'll be able to watch the play-list and see all of these fantastic videos. A new video will be up-loaded daily all the way through February 3rd.

So today is my turn and
I am going to show you a fantastic recipe for anybody who's trying to cook more for their family but is dealing with picky eaters. I know the situation all too well. I live with two of them myself. So one of the things that I have noticed about my own children is that they will always eat pasta or pizza.

And I find that that's usually
a success with most children. So what I did is I called this
dish a "Pasta Pizza Bake." I mean, who could resist that, right? But then I have layered
in all kinds of vegetables and proteins to help their
little bodies stay strong and grow when they need it most. Okay. Let me show you how
to make this family classic that everybody will love.

Now, when it comes to this recipe, I do like to use the fusilli pasta. That's the pasta that looks
like a little corkscrew. Because, later we're going to be adding some vegetables to this dish and the nice thing about this pasta is all the vegetables actually cling to all the nooks and
crannies of the pasta. So when your children
are taking a big bite of their cheesy pasta,
they don't even know that they're getting the vegetables because they're just hidden in there.

Now I have found that I really like to use these gluten-free pastas
from time to time. I really love the brown rice quinoa pasta because I find that it
doesn't get very gummy and kind of fall apart on you
like some gluten-free pastas. I highly recommend it. Meanwhile we're going to
brown some sausage in a pan.

I really, for this recipe, like
to use the chicken sausage, because I find that it's
a little bit lighter than pork-based sausages. You're going to remove the
sausage from the casings. Drizzle about a tablespoon
of olive oil in the pan. And just go ahead and cook it, cutting it up with a wooden
spoon until it's nice and browned and cooked through.

Meanwhile, you also want to add about a tablespoon of Italian seasoning. If you can find the Italian
chicken sausage, all the better, but I always find that
it does usually take a little bit more seasoning just to bring out the best flavor. Once the sausage is cooked through, we are just going to transfer it to a plate lined with paper
towel and allow it to drain. Meanwhile, we're gonna
take out a large stock pot and we're gonna add
another tablespoon of oil in the bottom of this pan.

This is where all the veggies come in. We're gonna saute up half
a cup of white onion, one carrot, and one celery stalk. Go ahead and just saute that all up until the vegetables are nice and tender. They should take anywhere
from 5-8 minutes.

At that point you can
add the tomato sauce. This is just the tomato sauce
that you can get in a can. Sometimes it's also known as tomato puree. You don't want any seasonings
or anything in the sauce.

Just plain tomato sauce will do the trick. We're also gonna add
one minced garlic clove, a teaspoon of salt, and
some freshly cracked pepper. We are just going to simmer
our sauce for about 10 minutes. Just until that acidity
in the sauce is reduced and that it mellows in flavor and the sauce ends up
being a little bit sweet.

At this point your pasta
is most likely done. You can go ahead and drain it, add it to your sauce pot,
throw back in the sausage, and give the whole thing
a big generous stir. Transfer this whole mixture
into an oven-safe casserole. Because this is going to
be served oven-to-table, I do like to choose a
casserole that is decorative and looks nice.

I recently just got this
one. It's from Revolve. It's part of the Elizabeth Karmel Everyday Essentials Collection. And she has some fantastic pieces.

So, if you have a little
bit of Christmas money and you're in the market for
a new oven-to-table casserole, I put a link in the description and you can find out where to get one. Then we're gonna top the whole thing with some low-fat, skim mozzarella cheese. Again, just to make it
a little bit healthier. Go ahead and just sprinkle it on the top.

Then we're gonna pop it in our broiler. Now the broiler setting is where you just have the heating
implement on the top. We want to just basically
brown the cheese, we don't necessarily have
to bake the whole casserole. Once the cheese is nice
and brown and bubbly, you can take it out.

Then the final step is
just to top your casserole with a little bit of
freshly chopped parsley. I love this dish because it comes together in under 30 minutes. It's loaded with vegetables,
some gluten-free pasta and of course the protein
of the chicken sausage. You'll also find, if you're
dealing with picky eaters, it resembles pizza enough,
it resembles pasta enough, that they just might dig in and try it.

Give it a go, let me know what you think, and for more quick and easy
recipes be sure to subscribe. You know it always makes me
happy when you guys subscribe! I will see you back here next week for another quick and easy weeknight meal. Alright, until then, bye!.

5 Microwave Mug Meals (Mug Pizza, Chocolate Brownie & More!)Gemma's Bigger Bolder Baking

Hi Bold Bakers! When it comes to mug recipes,
I have you covered for breakfast and dessert. But now in this one video, I am going to show
you a mug recipe for every meal. From granola, to mac and cheese, to even pizza in a mug.
These recipes are real game changers. So lets get started.

Were going to kick this off with breakfast,
the most important meal of the day. And did you know you can make granola in a microwave?
It comes out crunchy and just like its baked. Let me show you how. In a microwavable
mug, add in your maple syrup, flavorless oil (I used coconut), and water.

To this add in
your oats, coconut, salt, and nuts. And then mix it all together. What I love about this
granola is that its full of natural sugars. You can add in whatever flavor you like and
also, its great for vegans.

Now that this guy is mixed, were going to pop it into
the microwave for one minute. Then you want to give it a stir, and then pop it back in
again for another thirty seconds. Youll keep on going until your granola is lovely
and golden brown and youll see it start to get crispy and dry. The timing that I give
for my mug recipes is based on my microwave, which is 1200 watts.

So make sure that you
check yours because your timing may vary. And as always, all my recipes can be found
on www.Biggerbolderbaking.Com. Once your granola is done cooking, this is what it looks like.
Its a beautiful golden brown and you can probably hear it is lovely and toasted. Even
the nuts are.

Its hard to believe you can make this in a microwave. Were going to
take our homemade granola and make it into a complete breakfast. I like to eat my granola
with some greek yogurt and some berries on top. Granola paired with yogurt and berries
is a perfect balanced breakfast and a great way to start your day.

You can even mix up
your granola the day before and then cook it off the next morning. Ok were going
to move on to our next meal. Now that were done with breakfast, were
going to move on to lunch. And you will not believe how easy it is to make mac and cheese
in a microwave.

For this recipe, you want a very large microwavable mug or even a bowl
because you dont want the water to overflow while cooking. Into your bowl, add in your
macaroni noodles. Use small noodles because they cook faster. Onto your noodles, pour
in cold water.

Now were going to microwave this until its fully cooked. It just takes
a few minutes. Youll know when your macaroni is cooked because your noodles will have plumped
up and theyll be really nice and tender. Our next step is to drain off this water and
add in the rest of our ingredients.

To make our mac and cheese sauce, were going to
add in some milk, corn starch or corn flour, lovely sharp cheddar, and of course some pepper
and salt to season. And then simply mix all these ingredients together. The reason we
add in the corn flour is because it thickens it and binds it all together. Also, if you
want to add in some vegetables or meat in, you totally can.

All we have to do now is
pop it back in the microwave for a few more seconds, let the cheese melt and create that
sauce, and we will be eating homemade mac and cheese in no time. This incredibly easy
homemade mac and cheese requires no pots and pans, just a big mug and few minutes. Your
mac and cheese does not need much dressing up. So I like to put just a little bit of
parsley on top.

I have no doubt that you can make this mac and cheese faster than you can
make it from a box. And you know what, this tastes better and its better for you. Ok
on to our next meal. Ok so weve had our lunch but its about
3 oclock in the afternoon when you start to feel that slump.

I have the perfect peanut
butter and banana muffin that has lovely all natural sugars, no flour, and its full
of good energy. In a microwavable mug, were going to mash up some fresh banana. To this,
were going to add in some peanut butter, an egg white, and some vanilla extract. And
then whisk it all together.

Dont worry, if you dont like peanut butter or are allergic,
you can use any kind of nut butter you like. So to this, Im going to add oat flour,
which is just ground up oats in a food processor. But you can always use regular flour or whole
wheat flour. Next add ground cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

And then mix
all of these ingredients together. In just a few minutes, our afternoon snack is ready
for the microwave. A healthy snack needs to be something you can whip up when youre
hungry. And it does not get much faster than this peanut butter and banana muffin.

This
snack does not need a lot. I like to add a little bit of fresh banana and a sprinkling
of cinnamon. This mug cake is a perfect pick me up for the afternoon or even to give you
some great energy after a workout. And it tastes great too.

Now its dinner time and were having
pizza made in a mug. Words can not describe how great this recipe is, so Im just going
to get started and you can see for yourselves. In a microwavable mug, add in your flour,
baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. And then mix them all together.

Into
our dry mix, Im going to add in milk and olive oil. And then mix all these ingredients
together. And thats our pizza base done. Super fast.

Ok now like any great pizza, next
thing were going to put on is our sauce. Gently spoon your sauce onto your pizza base.
And then just spread it around with your spoon. Now you can add on any toppings you like because
its your pizza. Im going to add on cheese, mini pepperonis, and some dried herbs.

Our
mug pizza is ready for the microwave. Now I havent steered you wrong yet, so I really
cant wait for you to see when this is done. Our microwave pizza is ready. This is the
moment I wanted you to see.

Look at that mug pizza. Doesnt it look fantastic and it
smells amazing. So you can make one of these and even eat it faster than you can get a
pizza delivered. So the next time you want a pizza, this is your guy.

This pizza is ready
to eat as is. So I guess youre wondering what this looks and tastes like because believe
me, before I made it, I was too. But check this out, it has a lovely pastry base with
all that lovely marinara sauce and cheese on top and of course the little pepperonis
make it taste really good too. It tastes just like pizza.

Its soft, its gooey, its
insane. You have to try this. Well youre probably wondering what dessert
could be for our grand finale. And it is a chocolatey, fudgiest brownie made in a microwave.
In a microwavable mug, add in your flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of
salt.

And then mix all these ingredients together. To your dry ingredients, add in your flavorless
oil (I used coconut), water, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips. And then mix until you
have a batter. This brownie does not contain eggs so its a really rich, indulgent cake.
After all our lovely microwave meals, were finally ready for dessert.

No more do you
have to bake a big tray of brownies. You can whip one up just for yourself and you dont
have to share. Simply serve your warm, fudgey brownie with some vanilla ice cream and some
chocolate shavings on top. As you can see, this brownie is so rich and decadent and definitely
the perfect recipe to wrap up our microwave mug meals.

Whether you are looking for quick
meal options or even incredible desserts, these microwave mug meals have you covered.
If you havent already done so, dont forget to subscribe to my channel so you dont
miss out on any videos. Ill see you back here next Thursday for more Bigger, Bolder
Baking. Whew!!! Im full.
