Nancy's Kitchen

You will need a pot to boil water, a fry pan, a ladle, and a small 1 1/2 cup bowl.

ingredients:
Chuck eye steaks marinaded and grilled. Cut into small pieces.
6 ounces pancetta or bacon diced.
12 ounces pasta

1/2 lbs Asparagus cut each piece into 3 pieces diagonal lines with the ends cut off and discarded.  The end is usually harder the the tip and has a rough texture.
Fresh Parmigiana-Reggiano Cheese.

Boil enough water to cook pasta. Add pasta and boil for 2 minutes and add cut asparagus. Cook both till the pasta is cooked. Remove with ladle about 1 cup of the pasta water in the 1 1/2 cup bowl. Drain pasta now.

Cook bacon or pancetta till done. (I like mine crispy) Remove meat from the fry pan and reserve 2-3 TBSPs grease. (I know this sounds awesome!)

Now in the pasta pot add your pasta, asparagus, bacon or pancetta, grease, chuck eye and 1/2 cup of reserved water. Mix all together till hot. If mixture seems dry or sticking to pan add more water. You will most likely need more water. Once hot add some fresh grated parmigiana-Reggina cheese. Mix and serve hot!
Once on plate add more fresh cheese! Eat!

Above is before microwaving.

After microwaving. I added chocolate syrup to the middle after 30 seconds. Put back in the microwave for 1 minute and it was done.
Add ice cream or whipped cream and enjoy.

Tools:

1 Fry pan, 1 spoon, measuring cup, and 1 tsp
1 medium cooking pot for stew
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups rice n 2 1/2 cups water
cook your rice. I use a rice cooker.
When cooking rice on your stove top  you will need to cook with equal parts rice to water and  dash of salt.
1 medium onion sliced to chopped
1 tsp oil
1 pat of butter
3 cans of any type of red beans
1 TBSP cumin
1 tsp salt n pepper
1/2 TBSP paprika
2 tsp beef bullion
1 1/2 cups water
2 lbs sausage.
Cook your onion in oil n butter for about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix. Cook for 15-20 minutes while you cook your Keilbasa or smoked sausage. Cook sausage until it Browns but no burns.

Add cooked sausage to bean mixture and cook for 5 more minutes on low while you set table.

It is  not this dark but it is very good.  Enjoy!
