chicken penne.

i've been on a hellofresh hiatus because of the move, and i can say that i'm so excited i opted for a delivery this week! it gets me more inspired to cook, and definitely something to look forward to for the weekend. it cuts out the guessing-and-grocery-shopping game for me.

thursday night's dinner was a chicken penne dish. D loves pasta, and this was the only dish in this week's box that is carb based. i timed myself again, and no fail, as promised, in 30 minutes, i served up two bowls of piping hot pasta.

chicken penne pasta with tomato-spinach cream sauce.

one comment on their pasta portion size is that...it's huge!! the dish was designed for two people; even after two healthy servings each, we still had enough leftover for a light lunch the day after! also, i thought it was very start for them to cut the calories and fat by substituting heavy cream with sour cream. it allowed the dish to have that creamy texture, without the fattiness. bonus is that the sour cream does not alter the taste of the whole dish! i've never cooked with sour cream before, and was hesitant about the ingredient, but after trying it in a few of hellofresh's pasta dishes, i have to say that it's a winner.
