by Dimitri Bianco
8oz Chicken
1-2 lbs Fava beans (before husked)

Salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbl Olive oil

some water and blanch the fava beans.
2. Strain
and run under cold water. Then peel the fava beans out of their pods.
3. Boil
water for the pasta and cook as directed.
4. Defrost
and cube the chicken. Cook the chicken in olive oil for 5 minutes and then add
the onions and cook for another 2 minutes.
5. Add
the fava beans and white wine and cook for another minute.
6. Add
the evaporated milk and mozzarella stirring until the cheese has melted all the
way.
7. If
the sauce is too thin, stir in a little flour.
8. Strain
and plate the pasta. Pour some of the sauce over the pasta and serve.
As for the dessert everyone knows it must be chocolate for
Arielle. I have been thinking about either chocolate cake, bonet (chocolate
custard), or making cupcakes with Arielle. Whatever we decide to do I will post
some pictures.
How to stop a burn: I also wanted to post an interesting way to help stop a burn. I
get burned fairly often in the kitchen and came across this method for stopping
a burn. Once you get burned put mustard on the burn and leave it on for at least
a few hours. The mustard will actually dry on but it does an amazing job at
stopping a burn. I usually pick off the edges of the dried mustard and then later run it under
cold water to help loosen the rest of the mustard. You will not want to scrub it
off since your burn will still be tender.
