I made my last post before sitting down to eat...I think when I do cooking posts I will also do a follow up regarding my overall thoughts on a dish so that I can keep the post containing the recipe rather short. I will include my thoughts as far as cost, ease, taste, and anything else that comes to mind. So here it is:
As far as cost, this is definitely a budget friendly dish (costs will vary and I'm not including the price of milk, spices, or anything else I used a tiny fraction of a container of)-
- Chicken= $4.99
- Asparagus= $2.99/ lb.
- Pasta= $1.50
- Cheese= $1.50
For just over ten dollars I was able to make a full dish. For me this dish will yield at least three meals and is well within a college student budget. This would also be ideal for a small family.
It was relatively easy to make. I did get confused/ overwhelmed for a minute which I think could have been avoided if I had planned better. Doesn't require a lot of cooking knowledge beyond how to tell when noodles are done.
Taste-wise this isn't the tastiest dish I've ever had but it is good. It doesn't really taste like asparagus...it reminds me more of a chicken casserole containing green beans with a hint of cheese.
Next time I make this I will add more of the sauce. It's a little bit on the dry side for my tastes.
If you try this recipe out let me know! Let me know if you did any variations and overall what you think of this recipe!
