141.4…Lemon-Herb Pasta

As promised, here is the Lemon-Herb Pasta recipe that I served with the Chicken Cacciatore Friday night.

Lemon-Herb Pasta (Serves 4-6)

Recipe Courtesy: Cuisine At Home

Malfada pasta looks like small lasagna noodles. If you can't find it, use farfalle (bow-tie) pasta instead.

Ingredients:

12 oz. dried mafalda or bow-tie pasta

2-3 Tbsp. minced lemon zest

4 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

4 Tbsp. unsalted butter

2 Tbsp. chopped fresh oregano

Directions:

Cook mafalda in boiling salted water according to package directions.

Drain pasta; transfer it to a serving bowl. Toss pasta with lemon zest, lemon juice, and butter. Add oregano.

So…last night we went to a “Murder Mystery” party at the El Cortez in downtown San Diego. My husband’s character was a Russian dancer. Mine was a super model.

Notice our serious faces. 

We arrived to a beautiful cheese platter.

We were seated for dinner and the show began. Our meal started with a salad.

My entree was seabass, rice and carrots.

Sorry about the dark photos…I didn’t want to bring attention to myself with a flash.

Dessert rocked. Check out this platter of goodness:

I had a s’mores bar and a carrot cake cupcake. Both were delicious! Oh and by the way….neither my husband and I were the murderers. :)

Breakfast this morning was an egg beaters sandwich in between a toasted English muffin with cheddar cheese. I had some strawberries as well.

Then I got my bake on and made my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Lunch was tuna salad on top of a bed of greens.

Tonight we are headed over to a friend’s house to celebrate Father’s Day. They are having Phil’s BBQ cater it. Need I say more?

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

Have you ever been to a Murder Mystery party?
