If you aren't familiar with Pinterest or haven't tried it yet, I should warn you... It's addicting! I have been "pinning" since August/September 2011. I have amassed quite a few pins! I have multiple boards full of stuff that I will probably never attempt or get done in my lifetime! But, it's fun to dream! And I have tried a few things.

| Spaghetti Algio, Olio, E Peperoncino |
The last couple of nights I have tried a couple of recipes I found on Pinterest. The first one was Spaghetti Aglio, Olio, E Peperoncino (you can find it here). If you like spicy food, you will love this! It was super easy and fast to make too! I will definitely make this again. And, it's one of those recipes that you probably already have the ingredients at home. I added some cut up boneless, skinless chicken breast too. I wanted some protein in it to keep me fuller longer. I also doubled the garlic (can't have too much, right?!?!). I put garlic in with the chicken while it cooked and then added more as the recipe calls.

| Linguine with Garlicky Breadcrumbs |
Last night I tried another pasta recipe, Linguine with Garlicky Breadcrumbs (you can find it here). Again, very simple and quick. I did make a few changes/additions to this one too. (I can't ever make a recipe just like it says... I'm the substitution Queen!) I used spaghetti in place of linguine, store bought Italian bread crumb instead of making my own and I added chicken too. I was less pleased with this recipe. I didn't think it had enough flavor, it was pretty bland. So, I added crushed red peppers to my serving.
Maybe I will get a chance to accomplish or try some more of my Pinterest pins soon! Until then I will "just keep pinning, just keep pinning..."
