As Seen on TV!

I love infomercials. As Seen on TV is my favorite kiosk at the mall. These devices are often incredible and I proudly own quite a few.

I purchased a Pasta Boat last fall. You just throw your pasta of choice into the container, add the appropriate amount of water as dictated by the cooking guide, and then microwave it! After the pasta is done cooking you attach the strainer lid and strain the water out without losing half of the pasta in the sink.

I received a Ninja Master Prep for Christmas. This blender and food processor extraordinaire pulses ingredients with ease. I can chop, dice, purée, and blend with one device and cleanup is superfast. It can even turn ice into snow!

I made this pasta dish using my Pasta Boat and my Ninja. I cooked whole wheat fusilli. I then put an onion, three garlic cloves, and some chopped walnuts into the Ninja. I took those ingredients and put them into a saucepan. I added olive oil, a little pasta water, and mushrooms. When this became saucelike I added some sugar snap peas to heat them through but keep them crisp. I poured my sauce over my pasta, applied viscous lidocaine to my mouth, and then sat down to enjoy House repeats on my couch.
