How about this? Boil pasta, make a sauce like you described, fry up some chicken strips in a pan. Oil a round corningware dish. Layer noodles, sauce, chicken and some mozz cheese in the dish. Do it with any pasta. Repeat layering and make the cheese thick on top and cover it, put it in the oven (350) for 30 - 45 minutes. Ta da! Take it out and enjoy a fun, easy and impressive enough food that doesn't take a Michelin-star chef to cook.

If u really want to impress here's this really fucking quick and nice spagehtti guide I'll tell you

Ingredients:
Garlic
Carrots
Dried italian seasoning mix(or basil,thyme, parsley and sage)
1 can San Marzono (the expensive kind)
Noodles
Salt
Peppers
1 large spanish onion
Fresh basil
Step 1. Get enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan and maybe 1 glug more
Step 2. Boil water, season water with a lot of salt
Step 3. Heat oil, put in onions,let transparent, then add garlic until the garlic almost ends up crispy.
Step 4.add the tomatoes but to get extra penis points, use your hands to catch each tomato and crush each tomato before you put it in the pot. Like crushing a hamster and tossing it's corpse in the pan.
Step5. Cut carrot into large chunks and put in sauce but remember ur gonna fish this out later.
Step 6. Put about 2 tablespoons of italian seasoning into the sauce along with the sauce.
Step 7. Let it simmer for as long as u want, put tomato paste but if u wanna but it doesnt matter.
Step 8. Finish cooking the noodles. And let drain.
Step 9. If the sauce has boiled down, add salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve bitch

Alright anon remember marinara and the red sauces don't go so great with chicken. But chicken or fish, or shellfish, are the move for this pasta. Remember no cheese with seafood. Make ARANCINI. Bitches love this shit. Don't try to get the melty moz in the middle, that's too extra. If she likes bacon, get a small amount of cut up bacon in there. Use proper rice. Use parmesan or peccorino and some other cheese. Moz does NOT melt as well. Do not forget the eggs. You have to chill the rice, PARSLEY, egg, and cheese mixture in the freezer so it can be made into balls. I use Panko Japanese style breadcrumbs for a lot of deep frying, it's my favorite. Good luck frogposting babyman

I wanted to hang out with her and going to restaurants it's hard to be intimate because you are sitting across from the table from her the whole time. Just thought it would be nicer and comfy.

>> No.13446204

Reminder that if she likes you enough to come to your house, she won't really care how the food is unless it's truly horrible. Your goal is to make something that's just at least decent, rather than something spectacular or impressive. Just make something that's not gag inducing then give her the fugg.

not the poster but garlic bread isnt as strong and smelly as typical garlic
you will probably have onions in your pasta sauce as well and you two wont smell like onion either
you can just use bagged lettuce but if it feels unsafe, just buy fresh one and chop it yourself. it's just a side dish so it doesn't need much except for a slight dressing with seasoning

>> No.13446343

>>13446273
You know, some decent lettuce (I like a mix of iceberg and romaine), a bit of spinach, some tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, maybe some button mushrooms if you like them, and a nice vinaigrette for dressing.

As for garlic, if you want to be with her, that won't stop you.

>> No.13446349

>>13446328
When you chop lettuce, you kinda peal it back and then wash it right? Like you chop, and then wash?

>>13446343
Do you have to cook spinach to put it in a salad or can it be raw?

I can just buy vinaigrette dressing, right?
