In the Kitchen: Spicing Up the Simple



Contrary to popular belief, I do actually use my kitchen (see this). The biggest problem I have with cooking at the moment is that cooking for just one person is boring! I'm not going to spend an hour or two making ravioli just for myself, so I end up eating lots of pasta with jar sauce (I think my Aunt Is just rolled over in her grave).

Last night I decided to change things up a little by add a bit of spice to my normally blah meal.



First I added sliced garlic, minced onion, and a butt load of chili powder to the pasta water, then cooked to pasta as usual. Adding the spices to the water makes a huge difference in the long run.



Next I added more onion and another butt load of chili powder to jarred Alfredo sauce. I also added some leftover Cajun-spiced grilled chicken breast. And for good measure I added some more chili powder (what can I say? I'm a fan of the chili).



Finally, I mixed it all together and had myself a pretty darn good meal.
