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.

Tetrazzini for Two

This is my favorite dish for leftover turkey. It is decadent. It is loaded with calories. Sometimes a diva just doesn't care. This diva cannot resist all that cheesy creaminess. Diet tomorrow.

Tetrazzini for Two

1/2 package wheat spaghetti, cooked

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup wheat flour

1 clove garlic, minced

1 1/2 cups chicken broth

1 cups cream

pepper

3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cups cooked turkey, chopped

1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs

Melt the butter in a saucepan.
Add the flour and garlic.
Add the broth and the cream.
Sprinkle with pepper.
Bring it all to a boil.
Add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese and remove from heat.
Grease a casserole dish and put the cooked pasta in.
Top that with the chopped turkey.
Pour the cheese mixture over it all.
Top with the rest of the cheese and the bread crumbs.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour until it is lightly browned.

Make it a meal: Serve with wine.

Wine: Chardonnay
