Tonight I made Lemon-Garlic Linguine with Salmon Balls. Made the Salmon Balls same as my previous post... http://positivelygina.blogspot.com/2012/07/salmon-patties-with-asian-cucumber-salad.html except instead of cilantro, I used parsley, and I also added diced Green Bell Pepper, as well as the Red, and I shaped them into balls instead of patties.
For the Lemon-Garlic Linguine, I tossed cooked linguine with garlic and crushed red pepper, which I first sauteed in olive oil. At the end I mixed in some fresh-squeezed lemon juice and the chopped parsley. Well, I must go try some now. Ciao. : )
Made a healthy soup for dinner tonight made with onion, garlic, red bell pepper, tomato, potato, chickpeas, hot red pepper flakes, chicken broth, mini noodles and extra parsley...a large squeeze of lemon on top...Yum!

I made a quick-cook (20 minutes or so) Chicken Alfredo tonight, with a little help from Paul Newman's Alfredo Sauce. The sauce is far from low-fat or low-sodium, but it's delicious and all net proceeds from the sales of Paul Newman's products go to charities in the United States and abroad.
Above are the ingredients I used. I marinated chicken breasts in olive oil, chopped garlic, fresh-ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes for about 15 minutes. In the meantime, I boiled the fettuccine.
I sauteed the marinated chicken breasts in olive oil (yes, more olive oil! lol), until nicely light brown on both sides.

Then I added the Alfredo Sauce which I thinned out just a little bit with some warm water, and I also added fresh parsley. I let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 8 minutes, low heat.
After that, I just combined the cooked fettuccine with the chicken and sauce and plated it up! I like to add grated Parmesan cheese on top. Serve with a side salad and a warm, crusty piece of Italian bread...Yum.
I swear...I do sometimes buy a chunk of the "real" Parmesan and grate it over pasta, but not tonight! Enjoy!
