Home made pasta with chicken and mushrooms
I have the recipe on my blog www.thewannabecountrygirl.com
and for more recipes look in the catagories drop down menu under lunch/dinner !
The wife and I went out to do some errands and I hit Top Tomato to get ragu fixings. I found the most AMAZING fat spagetti type pasta. It doesn't have a name on it but it's like a Perciatell or Bucatinni pasta in that it is round and long like spagetti but has a hole running down the length of it inside (so the pasta sauce goes inside too). The fattest one I found has no name on the label but I swear it is the diameter of a normal drinking straw - no fooling. Made by Divella, all semolina. A $1.49 !!

I know - but that ain't no ziti I know of (ziti is more like a penne but without the angled (pen like) ends... I looked real hard at Devilla/Dececco's website (in Italian) and never found it. I'm sending the wife back for 10 packages Tuesday when she goes back to work. This stuff is wild...
Some examples of artisanl Bucatini...
peepless's sticky chicken -
- was the best baked chicken I have ever made.
I followed the recipe exactly & cooked two birds. It created an inordinate amount of already seasoned broth and yet left the chicken moist & falling off the bone.
I put the broth, some more water & carcasses in the crock pot on low over night; strained & used the broth the next night for my Bean, Spinach and Herb Soup. Used the meat scraps to make already seasoned chicken salad for later in the week . . . so that's three large meals for 5 people out of two birds!
