This is the story of how one of my favorite inventions, Copycat Bertolli Chicken alla Vodka and Farfalle, came to be. Once upon a time, when I was newly married, I bought the Bertolli meals for two in the freezer aisle. You know the ones. They look so yummy on the outside of the package and cost an arm and a leg. Seriously! It was $9 for the bag that served two people! It didn’t take me long to figure out that a bag of pasta costs $1-2 and is WAY more than two servings. So I started experimenting with some of their flavors.
I spent $6 to make the whole thing and it was 8 servings. That breaks down to $0.75 per serving compared to $4.50! My recipe even uses a jar of pasta sauce so you don’t have to spend all day over the stove to fill your freezer. So you have a meal that is economical AND convenient!
