First Up: Garlic Chicken Prosciutto Pasta!

I started this blog in order to share recipes with my friends and, possibly, total strangers. I love to cook, and since in real life things don't always turn out as planned, I promise to post the flops too. I don't consider myself to be a great chef. I don't even know all the proper techniques. When I cook, I usually dirty every pot in the house. But it is all about having fun and good food. If only I can figure out how to get someone to clean up after me.

This recipe I thought would be the perfect start to a blog. When I first got married, I knew how to cook the regular stuff: spaghetti, roast, tacos, etc. So I started searching for new and different things to try. This was the first recipe that my husband and I really enjoyed. I hope you enjoy it to.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup minced garlic
5 tomatoes chopped
3 oz prosciutto chopped
3 chicken breasts cubed
2 tbl. butter
1/3 cup basil
8 oz bag Linguine
1/3 cup Parmesan Romano grated cheese
Salt and Pepper

Directions:
Cook Noodles. Don't overcook them as you will add them in the skillet at the end. Heat oil in large skillet. Salt and pepper your chicken to taste and then saute chicken and garlic until chicken is cooked through. Add tomatoes, prosciutto, and butter and saute 5 to 10 minutes. The tomatoes will cook down and form a sauce. Add basil and cook another 5 minutes. Add drained Linguine and toss. Add cheese and toss.

Enjoy.
