Master Bedroom

Good morning!

My wonderful boyfriend and good friend Dustin spent hours last night putting together all our new furniture! Yay! Thanks guys ha ha ha It looks SO good, I am in love :]


 I am super excited. I put this whole look together for under $400. Can you say I am the queen of bargain shopping! Plus I have a huge love for decorating :]

For above the headboard I think I am going to go for this kind of design :] I really love the black and white look but I was maybe thinking of going with red frames??? Not sure yet ha ha ha
 So, the bf and I are a little obsessed with this food dish from Buca di beppo. Every single time we go there we do not even think twice before ordering it...yes it is THAT good. Well my friends I FOUND THE RECIPE! I will paste it below :] I found it on Tastebook.com.

The only thing I do differently is substitute the chicken for shrimp and I leave out the crushed red pepper(If you leave it in it is a verrrrrrry spicy dinner) and I just put the crushed red pepper on the table if anyone wants to add it to their own plate.

Spicy Chicken Rigatoni

This is a recipe from the menu at Buca Di Beppo. It is very spicy, but you can cut the crushed red pepper in half to cut down on the hot.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1/2 Tbs crushed red pepper
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbs chopped garlic
  • 6 oz chicken, sliced
  • 3/4 cup. Marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup Alfredo sauce
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 1/4 cup peas
  • 1 lb Rigatoni pasta, cooked according to package directions
  • additional 1/2 t crushed red pepper (for garnish)

Directions

1) In a sauté pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add crushed red pepper, salt, black pepper and garlic and sauté just long enough for garlic to caramelize and red pepper to release flavor into the oil(I USE OLIVE OIL). Add sliced chicken (I USE SHRIMP) and sauté briefly to coat in spices and garlic.

2)Add Marinara Sauce first and then Alfredo Sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook until sauce thickens slightly and chicken(OR SHRIMP) has reached an internal temperature of 165°. Turn off flame, add butter(I DO NOT USE BUTTER) and peas and incorporate into sauce.

3)Drop cooked pasta in boiling water for 3 seconds. Let drain for 15 seconds. Toss with the sauce. Place pasta and sauce in pasta bowl, reserving the majority of the chicken to be placed on top of the pasta. Using a rubber spatula, scrape any remaining sauce from the pan to the pasta. Garnish with crushed red pepper and serve.

I hope you enjoy!

Please dont forget...
