Trust no one, question everything, and maybe think twice before picking up a mysterious manuscript! This week on The Menuscript Podcast, we're diving into the twisty worlds of Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and Verity by Colleen Hoover. We'll explore the allure of thrillers, unreliable narrators, shocking plot twists, and the unsettling question of how well we really know the people around us. Plus a tasty meal to share on cool fall nights. Spoiler-free summaries, suspicious characters, and plenty to ponder ahead! Recipe: 2 Tbsp olive oil, a large diced onion, 2-3 cloves of minced garlic, 28 oz can crushed tomatoes, a 15 oz can of tomato sauce, 6 cups of chicken stock or broth, a large can of shredded chicken, or you can use a freshly cooked and shredded chicken breast, 8 oz uncooked penne or pasta noodle of choice, a cup of milk, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. You may also want shredded mozzarella and extra grated parmesan for topping. Once you’ve gathered all your ingredients you will need to find a large cooking pot or Dutch oven. Heat the stove to medium-high and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the onion and garlic and saute for 5 minutes. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, and seasonings and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer and give it a few good stirs. Return the heat to medium-high and add the uncooked pasta, parmesan, and milk. Cook for 15-20 minutes until noodles are cooked. Ladle into bowls and top with more cheese if desired. Enjoy!
