Seafood Spinach Pasta delight

I love it,very delicious---I took courage and ate the octopus--which looked like calamari,it tasted like seafood. This is an incredibly healthy meal.

It was very inexpensive and easy to make--I made my own Alfredo mix sauce with spinach and great Northern beans with olive oil.


The pasta I used was spinach fettuccine--boil it in a medium large pan, on medium heat with sea salt for about 3-5 minutes.

For the seafood it was a mixed combo that was already in a package---It included shrimp,squid,octopus ans surimi;I removed it from the package,drain all the seafood frozen water---deveined the shrimp--make sure it was all clean and "rinsed" it in medium hot sea salt water for about 1 minute.

Then I let it sit to make my Alfredo mixture in a blender.

I added 1/2 cup of water,spinach,the Northern beans,the Alfredo mix package and olive oil--then I proceeded to blend.

        I only blended the beans,but I added the mushrooms with the seafood later.

I used a detachable hand blender it's really good.

Then I used a non-stick large pan,added 1/2 stick of unsalted butter,let it melt,then added the seafood mix,stirred and added the mushroom and 1/2 cup of water and let simmer and saturate for 4 minutes on medium heat. Then I proceeded to add my Alfredo spinach mix and I added grated Parmesan cheese;I let it boil and simmer of 8 minutes. you can add salt,pepper,garlic powder or any seasoning of your choice. After the sauce was ready I added it in a large boil---and prepared my plate and topped it with crumbled blue cheese and sprinkled grated Parmesan cheese all over it.

                               I topped it with crumbled blue cheese and 
                              sprinkled it with grated Parmesan cheese.

Something was different: The Hero by abandon

He walked the dirty streets. Famous for nothing.
He said “come follow me” and they came.
A face like all the rest.
But something was different.
The Son of God would lead the way.
And soon they all would say.

There He goes - a hero. A savior to the world.
Here He stands with scars in His hands.
With love He gave His life so we could be free.
The Savior of the world.

I must say,I truly enjoyed cooking this meal.

I cut the All natural Boneless chicken into small medium size pieces then I seasoned it with seal salt,pepper and olive oil---you can always get creative and add extra.

After I took care of the chicken,I heated my cooking pan and added olive oil--chopped onions,green peppers,parsley,tomato and garlic.

Then I added the fresh cut lemons,dried mango's,ginger,mixed peppercorn and a pinch of turmeric and let it cook on medium heat for another 6 minutes or until fully cooked.
