Chicken Parmesan Over Spaghetti

Chicken Parmesan Over Spaghetti

The last couple of days I have been craving spaghetti.

I have a lot of pasta on hand but that was not what I wanted.

I wanted old fashion spaghetti. I don’t know what you think but I

 think that different shapes of pasta contribute to the final taste.

I also did not have anything to make sauce or any ready made sauce on hand.  Everything else I did have.

One of the problems was that it’s the end of the month and I had only six dollars to see me though to next month in my grocery budget.

The other issue is my hip. It is fractured and I am getting it replaced in Aug but right now I have to face causing more damage by walking on it and of course there is the pain. So I did need time to work up my courage and of course come up with an excuse to go out .

Today when I got up I realized I needed to take the kitty  litter over to the dumpster. Since I pride myself on never having a home that spells like cat urin and I have extremely fussy cats this  was a good excuse to get me out the door and to do something.

I decided to go to Gabriel’s IGA my favorite store and also because it is a small store .

My shopping went well because I  only spent four dollars and had two fifty  left over.

When I got home from the store I decided to get the spaghetti made. While the spaghetti was cooking I decided to make some sauce from a small can of sauce I had found at the store that was about one quarter of a cup of sauce in a can unflavored. 

To the sauce I added some home grown rosemary, and parsley, then some dried Italian spices, fennel, salt, pepper, wine and a pinch of sugar.

It turned out great.

Next I took out two fully cooked chicken patties made by banquet because I knew I would make Chicken Parmesan over pasta.

When the spaghetti was cooked I added some of the sauce to the spaghetti and tossed together.

Next I topped the spaghetti with the two patties of chicken and placed a  generous handful of  Italian shredded cheese on top.

When I am ready for dinner all I have to do it put the Chicken Parmesan in the microwave for a few minutes and dinner will be ready.

Once the main course was ready I made a quick toss salad to serve on the said of main course.

Perfect! I can not wait to enjoy this great old fashioned meal that is satisfying right down to the toes!
I did make this for dinner and it was great!
I was only able to eat one patty combine with the spaghetti it was just too filling to eat more. The good thing about this is I can either have another meal out of this one or I can freeze the other half and have a ready made and delicious meal ready to go.
Either way it is win win!
Enjoy this meal I know I did!
