Spaghetti with Chicken, Mushrooms and Zucchini

A few weeks ago the friendly folks from Paperkutz (laser cutting geniuses) dropped an exciting box of goodies off. It was a set of cute little wooden dice, engraved with a variety of ingredients to make meal time, fun time.

We started playing #GooiandEnjoy immediately, and I soon discovered that finding inspiration for dinner became much more entertaining than usual.

You see, these wooden dice consist of a variety of seasonal ingredients like meats, how to actually cook these meats, a selection of starches, a herb selection and seasonal vegetables dices. Get ready to be entertained and creatively inspired…

So today I am sharing my #GooiandEnjoy experience, and I wanted my dish to be as close to the original “gamble” I threw out on the table. This is what I got. Pretty cool, hey? I didn’t cheat, I promise…

This recipe consists of perfectly cooked spaghetti with buttery fried chicken, smothered in a creamy, garlicky mushroom, roasted zucchini and parsley sauce.

Your life will not be complete without a set of these super cool meal dices, it comes in a branded enamel mug for safe keeping and it only costs R190 – the perfect gift for Christmas! Check outPaperkutz online and be sure to give their facebook page a like! Enjoy!

Mealtime = funtime!
