Made the Chicken Pappardelle with sun dried tomatoes and the Tomato-Broccolini Salad on Thursday. This was a rich meal with the bacon & cream compared to the skinny meatloaf the night before. Cooked the Broccolini with the pasta and that made for less pots on the stove, but lost some broccolini flowers in the process. Next time I would blanch the broccolini separately. It wouldn't have occured to me to put the salad on top of the pasta dish. It was a very nice tangy complement to the rich, creamy sauce.
The calorie count is off because we didn't think 1 cup was a serviing size. The pappardelle pkg was 10 oz instead of 8. Anyway, I'd say it serves 4 for a main meal; so it is a near doubling of the calories - 341 -> 600 +/-, and add 70 for the salad.
So, for the first week with this issue, we've tried the meatloaf, buttermilk mashed potatoes & cauliflower, Chicken papparedellle with broccolini tomato salad, sirloin steak stir fry, Italian chili and the Italian "nachos". Enjoyed every single one! Still to try... braised pork shoulder dinner- need to find some banana leaves - and the cupcakes. This is a very good issue!
