Thank You Michael Smith…
Yesterday, once again faced with the issue of having to cook for myself, I began plotting my dinner options. I really had a craving for General Tao chicken but decided against it. I had just came back from a 2 hour gym session and felt guilty eating such an unhealthy dish (although what I ended up eating might not have been the healthiest thing…lol). Then I thought about eating Subway but decided against it as I didn’t like the fact that I would be eating a sandwich for dinner.
Still unsure what I would eat, I decided to watch the Food Network while I decided what I would feed my now noisy stomach. Micheal Smith’s Chef at Home show was playing. It was an episode where he made his own smoked salmon. Towards the end of the episode, he made Smoke Salmon Penne. It was a very basic recipe with ingredients that most households have. I knew I had most of the ingredients in my house but smoke salmon I had not. I was lucky enough to have canned salmon and used it as a substitute for the smoked stuff.
These are the pics of my Salmon Penne à la bonne franquette!

Cooking the penne...
Once the penne is cooked, add all the ingredients together with a splash of pasta water...
Make sure the cheese is all melted before serving...
I served the pasta with a side of uber ripe tomatoes with a drizzle of EVOO, salt and pepper...
that pic makes him look gay
OHhhhh Gabb is bringing sexy back!!!
I remember that dude! He used to do those Chef at Large shows where he’d cook for a huge group of people… I couldn’t watch too many of those episodes though cause it’d cause me to get stressed. haha
