pice up your typical Chicken Alfredo dish using this quick and easy recipe. Although we are using penne pasta, this recipe works well with fettucine as well. Ingredients • 500 grams of penne pasta • 2 pounds of chicken tenderloins, cut into cubes • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder or grate 5 gloves (minced) • 1 teaspoon of pepper or 6 scotch peppers • Seasoning cube • 3 tablespoons of oil • 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms • 2 small finely chopped red onion • 4 turkey bacon strips (chopped) • 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Parsley, chopped forr garnishing Direction Bring a large pot of salty water to a boil and drop in your penne. Fry your chicken with onion scotch or dry pepper and Maggie in a pan separately and keep aside. When the penne is cooked, but still a little firm, pour it into the colander and move the pasta immediately into the sauté pan as you want it dripping wet with the cooking ki water. Melt the butter, stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, take the pan off the heat and gradually stir in the milk or cream to get a smooth sauce in a large sauté pan. Return to the heat, stirring all the time. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes and season with salt and white pepper. Pour your pasta and diced turkey bacon and peppered chicken into the white sauce, Stir

aving a sound system in your home is definitely the best way to amp up the environment. It is the perfect way to enjoy some good quality TV time with your family, great for entertaining guests, and for all sorts of occasions. Investing in a sound system is a smart move. But it’s also important to ensure you pick out one that fits your personality and blends with the décor. These are a few things to consider to customise your living room with a sound system the right way. Map out your living room space: Finding a balance with the way you have mapped out your living room and how to strategically place your speakers is the first thing to consider so that there are less obstructions when moving about, as well as prevent echoing. Match the textures: If your living room mostly features wooden centerpieces and furniture, then going for a metallic sound system will contradict your choice. With the option of wooden, metallic and other varying colours to choose from, there’s an array of sound speakers that will fit in your living room seamlessly. Get a professional to do the set-up: DIY may seem more convenient, but getting a professional to set it up is better as he will do everything in a jiffy without a hitch. They will know exactly where to place everything without cables and wires all over the floor. Make the sound system the centre of attention: You didn’t splurge on a sound system not to make it the star of your living room. Placing it strategically, yet out in the open, will make an impression on your guests and show off your impeccable style as well.
