Rosies Pasta

This is from a cookbook we got in college. We made it for dinner last night and still love it.

4 Chicken Breasts
1 Can Evaporated Milk
1 Shallot or a bunch of Green Onions
half a package of Mushrooms
1/2 cup Peas
Cooking Wine
Red Pepper Flakes
3 cloves garlic
Sundried Tomatoes
Bowtie pasta
Italian Seasoning
Basil

Turn Oven (that's the boxy looking thing that pizza comes out of) to 400 degrees.
season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and italian seasoning and cook until pink is gone and juices run clear. When the chicken comes out of the oven shred it with a couple of forks or an industrial piece of kitchen equipment. Using the forks will make you feel more like Julia Childs or Emiril Lagassee (take your pick) The kitchen equipment will only drive you to drink.

Put some water on to boil for the pasta. When water is boiling stick your hands in to test it out, than add the pasta.

Put the sundried tomatoes in a bowl and add enough boiling water to the bowl to soak the tomatoes. After the sundried tomatoes have soaked for five minutes slice and set aside.

Add a teaspoon of oil, garlic and 1 tablespoon of flour to a sauce pan. Sautee the garlic and flour for a minute then add the evaporated milk to the saucepan. Add the red pepper flakes to the sauce and keep on medium heat. The red pepper flake amount is up to you - the more you add the greater the kick and the less likely your kids will eat it. Keep stirring the sauce until it boils....this will require a third arm because now you need to multitaskwhile continuing to stir the sauce.

Add the cooking wine - a quarter of a cup - add the peas, mushrooms, shallots and the sun dried tomatoes and sautee over medium high heat for several minutes. Add the shredded chicken. Cover the chicken and vegtables and cover. Keep stirring the sauce with that third arm.

The pasta should be close to being done about now.

Keep stirring, just keep stirring, stirring, stirring.....and did I mention that it is best that if you use a whisk for this sauce.

Drian the pasta, add the chicken and vegtable mixture, then mix the sauce into the pasta. Garnish with fresh chopped basil and serve with crusty bread. Take an ibuprofen for your sore arm. Next time get the kids involved to stir the sauce while you are finishing your Diet Coke.
