Favorite Kitchen Item #2

Hey guys!
It has been one crazy week! I can't believe Wednesday is here already! It has been a week full of planning, studying, writing papers, doing laundry, and attempting to clean the house....ugh! I will be so happy to relax this weekend!
Favorite Kitchen Item number 2 is....the PASTA BOAT!               Click HERE to CHECK IT OUT!

I am sure many of you have seen the ads on tv for it. When I first saw it I wanted it, but didn't want to have to pay shipping and handling and wait for it to come in the mail so I said forget it, but then when my grandma brought over some Easter presents, I opened them up and found that she had got me one! She is so thoughtful!
So far I am really enjoying it! It usually takes me forever to make spaghetti seeing as I only have one burner, I have to cook the meat, once that finishes, I can boil the water to cook the pasta, then I have to drain the pasta, then I can add the sauce....but now with the pasta boat I can do the pasta and the meat all at the same time and then just mix them all together! It has saved us A LOT of time!!

Here are some pictures of us putting it to good use!

all filled with pasta and water

ready to cook!

Cooking!

All finished!

Yum! It even has a built in strainer!!

So, as I said, so far I am LOVING my pasta boat! It can also be used to steam vegetables and make some other things! And best of all, it came with this nifty little directional/cookbook that has some great ideas and recipes in it!

If you are looking for a quick way to save time making a simple pasta dish, I would go out and get a Pasta Boat! They are available online, on tv, and in stores like Walgreens or others that sell "as seen on tv" items!
