Diva Cooking 101

Divas cook gorgeous things that are fabulous enough to share with friends and family. They just don't cook much. Every diva needs a few, easy signature dishes to get by. Are you a diva cook?

Divas cook while listening to Billie Holiday, Muddy Waters, or the Rolling Stones.

Divas cook while sipping Champagne, Chardonnay, or a martini.

Divas cook with a feather boa draped around their shoulders.

While cooking, divas nibble gin-soaked olives or Champagne-saturated strawberries.

Divas cook while wearing an apron that says, "Tomorrow is another Chardonnay."

A diva's favorite breakfast is last night's appetizers.

Divas don't stress over particular amounts in any recipe. Glugs, plops, and handfuls are accurate enough.

Divas can cook with boas because diva recipes do not require many steps. Still, the food is fabulous.

Chili Chicken Pasta

Kids will love this depending on how much chili powder you put in. Spice it up for your man, divas, or tone it down for the kids. This is everything comfort food needs to be--it's cheesy, spicy, creamy, and garlicky. And EASY. Put it all together while the pasta cooks. That’s all the time it takes.

Chili Chicken Pasta

1 lb. chicken breast, cubed

2-3 garlic cloves, sliced (I use 3)

½ onion, chopped

1 can cream of chicken soup

½ cup milk

a few sprinkles Parmesan cheese

at least 3 oz. cheese, cubed or shredded (I like Gruyere)

chili powder to taste

4 cups cooked pasta (I use corkscrew-shaped)

Sauté garlic and onion in olive oil.
Add chicken and stir often.
Add soup, milk, cheese, chili powder, and garlic.
Stir until heated.
Serve over pasta.

Options: Chop up green and red peppers; add them to the sautéing onions and garlic.

Make it a meal: Serve with steamed broccoli.

Wine: Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc
