If you want to impress, go simple. Simple = Pasta. I’ll only try new things on myself because I’d hate to mess up on someone else- esp. if I’m cooking to impress. This week, I came across an unusually picky guinea pig who gave me a guideline of foods he doesn’t eat.
1. no seafood; which was hard for me because I like fish.
I said, “Chicken or steak?”
He said, “Both are fine.”
I’ve cooked way too many chicken recipes and may turn into one if I cook another chicken dish. And I wasn’t in the mood for red meat so I went with Pasta.
I found Penne with Tomato Prosciutto Sauce which looked easy and didn’t have too many ingredients- it was simple and looked good- but it has Prosciutto in it-
“Are you OK with Proscuitto?”
“Not my Fav. but I’ll eat it.” OY!
Ratings- 1 to 5 (5 = excellent)
ME: 4.0 Prosciutto didn’t do much for me- maybe it’s because I didn’t add much due to picky guinea pig. Extra points for making tomato sauce from scratch- and it was good.
Guinea Pig: 17. Goal Achieved- It’s over the max!
Just remember that if you want to impress go with PASTA.
