Zucchini Fettuccini

This is a recipe I got from my friend Emily

It looks so fancy and tastes so delicious
(but maybe not so much in my picture)

4 ½ t. butter                              4 ½ t. olive oil

2 t. pressed garlic                      ½ large sliced onion

½ lb. Sliced fresh mushrooms    1 c. cream

¾ c. fresh parmesan cheese       Fettuccini noodles

½ lb. Bacon sliced thin and browned

4-5 julienne cut small zucchini squash

-Saute 3 minutes:  oil, butter , garlic, onion and mushrooms.  Add squash and bacon, cook just a few minutes.  Don’t overcook.  Add cream and cheese, stir and blend.  Serve over cooked noodles.

*  I always add my noodles to the finished dish and stir it together.  Let it sit for a few minutes, too.  It thickens up a little bit. It's even better the next day :)

Chicken Marsala

Every Italian restraunt I go to I have to try their Chicken Marsala, it's one of my favorites. Well I have found a recipe that I enjoy just as well, so now I can make it at home.

For all you other Chicken Marsala fans, you have to

give it a try, its really easy and yummy.

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
2 cloves chopped garlic
3 tbsp butter or margerine
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dry marsala or dry sherry

Hot cooked pasta - (I love angel hair)

FIRST- In a shallow bowl stir in flour, marjoram and a little bit of salt and pepper, press in thawed chicken and cover with flour mixture.

SECOND - Melt butter in a skillet, add garlic and mushrooms and saute for a few minutes. Then remove from pan and add your chicken.

THIRD- Cook chicken on both sides until cooked. When chicken is cooked add your chicken broth and marsala/sherry and simmer uncovered for 2 minutes. Return mushrooms and garlic to chicken.
