0:01
I'm so glad to be back in front of our camera
0:06
(laughs) to be with y'all.
0:08
You know, I was at Disney for a week
0:09
with Bobby and his family, and I mean,
0:15
to get these recipes done for y'all
0:19
so you won't have to be watching a repeat of anything.
0:23
So, I'm sharing with y'all.
0:25
I'm gonna make a wonderful pasta zucchini salad for us.
0:31
And I have cooked the fettuccine until it's done.
0:36
I don't like al dente pasta,
0:40
so I cooked ours good and done.
0:45
So, let that drain for a minute.
0:56
Just get that water off of there, and into our bowl
1:00
that I'm gonna serve it in.
1:01
I've got one zucchini that has been sliced real thin
1:07
with a potato peeler.
1:11
So it's hard to believe this is just one zucchini,
1:14
- [Eddie] Yeah, it is.
1:16
It's just one zucchini with a little bit of something.
1:20
I don't know what that is.
1:22
That was a real thin slice of zucchini, I think.
1:25
(laughs) Like along with that one.
1:27
I love them thin like that.
1:29
So what we're gonna do
1:32
Is we're gonna take this hot pasta
1:36
and we're gonna pour it on top of the zucchini,
1:39
because the heat will
1:44
give the zucchini just a little bit of a cooking.
1:50
This is gonna be so good.
1:52
It'd be perfect with some chicken.
1:55
In fact, you could add chicken
1:57
or anything you wanted to this.
2:01
We got the zucchini pretty much covered.
2:07
So now I'm gonna come over here
2:08
to my food processor.
2:10
This is one of those recipes
2:12
that's just so wonderful for a hot summer day.
2:17
Like I said, add a little chicken for protein,
2:22
So I've got eight ingredients that I'm gonna pulsate in.
2:29
I'm throwing onion everywhere.
2:31
Alright, so I've got an onion, red wine vinegar,
2:37
little jalapeno, put a little spice in your life.
2:43
Three cloves of garlic,
2:47
1/4 of a cup of olive oil,
2:53
and we have some cilantro.
3:00
Let's see, how much cilantro did we need?
3:03
- [Eddie] I think 1/3 cup of both.
3:05
- Yeah, third of a cup of packed cilantro.
3:12
So it's great that our machine's
3:16
gonna do all the work for us.
3:20
I'm just gonna try to pull the leaves away
3:27
1/3 of a cup of cilantro.
3:29
That's a pretty good bit, Eddie.
3:32
You know? - [Eddie] Yeah.
3:33
It's gonna pack a crunch.
3:36
So if you don't like cilantro, which my boys do not,
3:42
neither one of 'em like it.
3:44
So you just want to use all parsley
3:46
in case you don't like the taste of cilantro.
3:50
- [Eddie] Maybe some basil.
3:51
And some little parsley. - Basil would be delicious.
3:57
Well, I don't think I've got 1/3 of a cup
4:01
of packed cilantro yet.
4:05
You know, I've told y'all so many times,
4:07
your recipes, they're just there for ideas
4:11
and a starting point.
4:14
And then you add things that you like,
4:17
or things that you don't like, take it away.
4:25
There's no wrong to it.
4:26
It's all about your tongue, your taste, your preference.
4:31
Okay, so I've got some beautiful
4:33
flat leaf Italian parsley here.
4:39
Hopefully this will strip a little easier
4:45
So we needed 1/3 of a cup of each packed.
4:54
This is gonna make it turn kind of green.
5:03
You think we're at 1/3 yet, Eddie?
5:07
Because I'm tired of picking.
5:10
- [Eddie] It looks like two tablespoons.
5:13
- (laughs) I know it.
5:14
I know it, I know it.
5:16
Okay, I'll do some more.
5:17
Eddie's making me feel guilty.
5:20
I'm shrucking my duties.
5:29
And I just added a teaspoon of salt.
5:42
Yeah, I'm gonna scrape every bit of this goodness
5:48
over our pasta and our zucchini.
5:51
- [Eddie] Oh, that's a quick dinner.
5:53
- telling you what, that is a quick dinner.
5:57
And if you just happen to pick up a rotisserie chicken
6:01
from the grocery store, think how quick this meal would be.
6:06
It'd have your protein, your carbs,
6:22
Okay, getting every bit of that goodness outta there.
6:34
(laughs) It's looking good.
6:36
Isn't it pretty? - [Eddie] It is.
6:37
- I mean, it's just a beautiful dish.
6:52
Now for our grated Parmesan cheese.
7:00
you could do anything to this dish, y'all.
7:02
Wouldn't some pine nuts be delicious in it, Eddie?
7:16
The next time I make this, I might double my sauce.
7:23
You know what I mean?
7:24
Because, you know, I'm a condiment girl, y'all.
7:27
I just love me some condo-menients.
7:35
There's a drop of olive oil left in there.
7:42
(laughs) Eddie and I,
7:50
avocado toast for breakfast.
7:52
And I don't know about you, Eddie, but mine's left me.
7:55
(Eddie laughs) I'm hungry.
7:58
So I'm not gonna pretty this up.
8:04
I'm just going to come in and go for it.
8:09
The older I get, the more I love pasta.
8:13
I guess 'cause I know it's so fattening.
8:21
It is better than I remember.
8:28
Do you want some, Eddie? (laughs)
8:31
- (laughing) Mm, you are gonna love it.
8:37
Look at that beautiful green.
8:45
Mm! (utensil clatters)
8:52
A quick, easy, beautiful meal just for you.
