Today was certainly a busy day. Meetings with teachers to learn about lesson planning techniques. Working with my class on math and CSAP preparations. Taking kids home in nasty snowy conditions. Definitely cause for a relaxing evening with a quick dinner and a few episodes of ‘North and South’. Perfect way to unwind after a long day.
South of the Boarder Pasta:
- Left over broiled chicken
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 green pepper
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- 3 tbsp. cilantro
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/3 cups of uncooked penne
- Cook the penne according to the box instructions.
- Meanwhile, sautee the peppers and chicken in the olive oil.
- Combine the lime juice, cilantro, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
- When the pasta is finished, drain and toss with the cilantro-lime mixture and the peppers and chicken.
- Serve while still warm.
The combination of the sweet and sour is delicious. The original recipe from Weight Watchers called to make this a cold pasta salad, but on a cold winter night like this one a warm dish was a must.
