So, I did mention in my previous blog that I cooked two types of pasta sauces and hence we had a lot of pasta meals last week — certainly saved a lot of costs although not the healthiest. And I had some spaghetti leftover. Time for simple pasta stir fry because we had run out of the pasta sauces. Also, some different taste for goodness sake!
Aglio Olio Stir Fry with Cajun Chicken and Bacon
I popped into my freezer to see what else I got there. I still had marinated cajun turmeric chicken breast and some bacon stripes. So let's made full use them!
In a pan, I melted a block of butter and I pan fried the chicken breasts and bacon. Wow, so fragrant, my whole house smelled cajunee and baconee. Then, I took them out to be used later.
With the same with all the cajun and bacon goodness, I added in the spaghetti. Lightly mixed it around until all strands were coated with the buttery cajun bacon flavours.
I had a container of fried aglio olio flakes given by my friend which definitely helped whenever I wanted to cook fast. I dared not add so much since my eldest son seemed to have a little sore throat. A tablespoon will do. Then, cut the chicken breasts and bacons in smaller stripes, added them all into the pot too. I also added in some salt and pepper. After this, just lightly fried them all together until blended well.
Voila
Here came a plate of flavourful stir fry aglio olio with cajun chicken and bacon. Super simple yet very appetising and flavourful. We all loved this dish so much! I totally enjoyed this with a can of coffee. Like a reward to me after days of taking care and tubefeeding my son.
Thai Tea and coffee
My husband also came home with two drinks — Thai Green Tea and Thai Coffee from Boat Noodle. What a yummy mouth-watering treat!
