Boring Menu Changes

It's only Wednesday, and since my menu is so boring, I had to change it up a bit.  Tonight we had Italian sausage boiled, then browned with onions and covered with Paul Newman's cabernet sauce.  I served it with sliced browned potatoes (my husband made pasta and ate it over that because well, he's a really big pasta fan and disappointed that we didn't have spaghetti).  Tomorrow I am going to try a mixed up crazy crockpot pork recipe because I really just want dinner done when I get home.  I'll post the recipe if it turns out to be good.


RECIPE REVIEW
The creamy chicken pasta was good according to the family.  I prepared it the way that I thought the recipe meant.  I used a frying pan with nonstick coating to boil the pasta with the milk and it does thicken up to a sort of sauce just about the time that the pasta is tender.  I only simmered the pasta as opposed to a full boil so that the sauce wouldn't curdle.  I also stirred the mixture frequently and stood by the stove during the cooking process.  After the sauce thickened and before adding the chicken, I added 3oz cream cheese and stirred that into the sauce.  I also added some leftover broccoli.  Immediately after stirring in the chicken, (previously cooked) I added approximately 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese.  I guess it was good...I ate it.  I can't decide if I liked or will ever make it again.  Maybe it was the whole wheat pasta, I dunno?!?
