This Italian classic is chicken, potatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, a few sprigs of fresh rosemary from the yard and some parmesan.
I grew up on a bigger version of this. Once it’s almost done baking you add a can of peas and toss a pound of spaghetti in the rendered chicken fat. Serve it all together. Perfect for growing kids. Adds like $2 to the batch but gives you substantial more food. Between the pasta, potatoes an peas you aren’t just fully loaded on carbs but you have a full amino acid profile too and are getting all your protein aminos even without any of the chicken.
But as an adult I like simple classic. It’s also less work.
Cost per person: $1.84


We called the version with pasta “peasant food.” While yours looks tasty it feels too fancy for this humbleness of this. Like I’d have gin up the chicken to match.
