Kievs and pasta?!?!?!?!

[Ragevibration]

DP was tasked with picking up an easy tea for tonight so we can have an early night after a busy couple of weeks.

AIBU to be aghast that he got chicken kievs (yum.) AND PASTA?!?!?!

They don't go together, right?

Kievs and chips, yes. Kievs and pasta, abomination.

Love them individually, but together seems so so wrong.

We have Kievs with new potatoes and green beans.

We use pasta in a tomatoey sauce as an alternative ‘carb’ all the time
So yes kievs, pasta and some kind of veg is a bog standard meal round here
Bloody love kievs

Sounds tasty to me.

No.
You either have an oven dinner or a hob dinner IMHO. We had kievs tonight with tinned sweetcorn and oven chips. (bit of a beige dinner but it gets eaten)

Ooh sounds yum

But I love pasta love it

But kievs, oven chips and tinned sweetcorn is a mix of oven and hob MERLYPUSSEDOFF

Tell that to the Italians. A breaded chicken escalope and spaghetti with tomato sauce is often gone found in the menu in Italian restaurants. And very tasty it is too.

Kiev's and baked beans is a regular feature in our house.

My mum eats Chicken Kiev with rice. Says it's like garlic rice

It is! That’s a lovely combo too, beats pasta probably.

Kiev's and pasta here too especially spaghetti with a bit butter, parmesan and black pepper. Yum

I think I've worked out the problem here...

I don't see pasta as an accompanying dish... pasta is it's own meal worthy of a side of say... garlic bread I love carbs

But apparently a popular choice on MN so I must BU!

I found some oven chips anyway so all's well that ends well

I tried a Kiev for the first time last week and it’s was so gross. So yabu for the Kiev
I think it would go with tomato pasta though?

I ALMOST resorted to this tonight as so wanted Kiev but thought I had chips in, and didn't.

I ended up with tuna pasta. Couldn't bring myself to do it.

Now I think I should have tried it.

We have Kiev’s with rice too, a little extra butter at the end added to the tray to add to the garlicky yumminess on the rice.

I think Kiev and pasta is fine. If dh complained about it, I’d tell him to cook tomorrow. (Kiev easy bit of protein for dinner, pasta, probably the quickest carb to cook and healthier than chips).

I have been known to give the family left over roast meat, pasta, veg and its delicious, but dh didn’t really think so (although didn’t complain).

Say what?

That's a completely normal dinner in at least two European countries - and it would be a big hit in this house. (Well, mainly with DS - and we'd have salad on the side, hugely so in my case)

I don't get why Kievs plus potatoes isn't stodge, but Kievs plus pasta is stodge? The tomato sauce of the pasta works an absolute treat with the Kievs!

I love pollo Milanese -breaded chicken- with pasta in garlicky butter. I also love schnitzel with noodles (basically pasta). YABVVU!!

Yes that's it, pollo milanese! I knew there was a name for it.

Anyway kiev (or other forms of breaded chicken) with pasta is always a total winner here with the DC. DS will have some ketchup tomato sauce with his pasta but DD prefers to eat the pasta plain with some grated cheese. Served with cucumber and red pepper on the side.

Easily pleased they are!

In my book anything goes with pasta. To the horror of my DH.

My ex started out as a terrible experimental chef and put together some appalling meals. Pasta and Kievs would have been mild compared to his concoctions.

He'd always blame the ingredients or the kitchen facilities. It takes years of sly demonstrations, watching cookery shows, cookery books as presents and praise to get a positive change.

Quartz2208 chicken parmigiana yuk, wth!

Dear God, Milanese should never be served with pasta!

My DS’s favourite meal.

Always serve chicken Kiev with pasta and salad - yum
