“Some stores charge a premium price for the delicate texture of angel hair pasta and its super-short cooking time. Save money by substituting thin spaghetti or vermicelli, which are widely available.”

6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (4 ounces each)
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons prepared mustard

An easy way to separate eggs is to crack them into a funnel placed over a bowl. The egg yolks stay in the funnel while the whites slip into the bowl.

Making your own pie pastry is quick, easy and considerably less expensive than purchasing pre-formed frozen pastry. Be sure to make a dozen extra and freeze them for future baking needs.
