Chicken Tarragon with Pasta

Posted by lilacvalley on April 23, 2008

This is probably my favorite dinner. Simple, but so delicious!

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
1-1/2 c. lemon juice
2 tbsp. dried tarragon
12 oz. spaghetti or linguine
4 tomatoes

Put the chicken in a glass baking dish. Pour the lemon juice over the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken with the dried tarragon. Cover the dish with foil- bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink. Meanwhile, cook and drain the pasta. Toss hot pasta with butter and salt to taste. Remove chicken from oven and transfer to serving plate- discard lemon juice. Serve chicken with buttered pasta and cold sliced tomatoes.

Linguine with Tomatoes

Posted by lilacvalley on April 2, 2008

This is super easy, but it tastes like something from a nice Italian restaurant. It’s great for company. Of course, you need a fresh green salad and some hot garlic bread to go with it.

8 oz. uncooked linguine
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
6 green onions, sliced
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
4 tsp. dried basil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 tbsp. butter

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large serving bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, Parmesan cheese, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Drain pasta and toss with butter. Add to tomato mixture; toss to coat. Serves 3 or so.
