So, if you aren’t following the Bruins every move like one of their fanatical fans…let me explain.  The Bruins landed a young gun named David Pastrnak who is from Czechoslovakia.  #88.  He is one of the youngest NHL players and about 22 years old.  He is known for his incredible offense as a sniper, he knows how to shoot the puck with deadly speed and accuracy. And he scores a lot.  Watch out. I mean it.  Pastrnak’s popularity in Boston led the Bruins fans to nickname him “Pasta” and this is where our “Pasta” story begins…

So, Saturday night, October 27th, at the Bruins hockey game, bags of “Pasta’s Pasta” will be given out to thousands of lucky fans!  A combination of Bruins “B” pasta logos with the number 88 in pasta…it’s the perfect pasta mix for a “hat trick” of a hockey meal.  I mean, I’m imagining the fans making a pasta dinner when they watch the next away hockey game at home in front of the big screen. In fact, I think that is probably good luck for the team! ?

When I made Pasta’s Pasta, I decided to julienne the red peppers and dice the zucchini in bite size pieces…just to make the dish more interesting.  And I was happily surprised about the chicken!  I think I’ve been stuck in “grill mode”.  I had not pan sautéed chicken in years…and the light seasoning on the chicken breasts cooked in some olive oil….yum…I mean juicy and browned and absolutely delish!
