I do have to say that things seem to be changing. I have worked with Loblaws this year as part of their #FoodLoversUnite program and what I have absolutely loved most about the experience is the creative freedom to just be me. If my girl feels like making a Chickpea and Spinach Curry good for her, if this mama goes and hangs out with an In-Store Registered Dietitian outside the Asian food aisle that’s fine too. I am going to fully confess that we did discuss Daal and Diabetes, two things that are very close to this Desi’s heart.

To be or not to be Tuscan Chicken Pasta

Names are important aren’t they? When I first tested this recipe I thought of it as Tuscan Chicken Pasta and then when I sat to type it up I realized I was so wrong. Firstly this Sun-dried Tomato & Chicken Pasta has like half the cream of most Tuscan Chicken Pasta recipes. Now this is not because I am healthy, but because I find I don’t like the heaviness that follows a surfeit of heavy cream although man does that stuff taste good sometimes! Secondly my kids don’t like random chewy things in their pasta. That’s how they described the glorious tangy sun-dried tomatoes the first time I made it. Random Chewy Things. So this Mama adapted as all mamas do and blitzed the sauce. I was so happy with the overall flavour and the kids ate it as well. Win-Win folks, Win-Win. As always if you make this pasta please rate it, am adding lots of notes with the questions I’ve gotten about it in the past. Also do share your creation with me on Instagram where you can find me @flourandspiceblog Want more pasta? How about these guys below!
