My goal for this assignment was to pick a yummy and nutritious pasta for an adolescent age group and make sure our food and brand attracted to their certain age group. Lily and I worked together for this assignment and we ended up choosing a pasta recipe which was a creamy chicken pesto pasta dish. We both quite enjoy this pasta dish so that was one of the main reasons why we chose it for our assignment. We first started by looking through some websites to choose a type of pasta dish that we would enjoy making and both like. This took us nearly a whole lesson to decide on one we both liked but finally we got there. When we figured out that we were doing a creamy chicken pesto pasta dish, we then chose that we'd like to aim our product at an age around adolescents. When we discovered this we got cracking on our planning for our design of our box and what we should put on it. The thing we struggled on was trying to agree on a brand name that we both agreed on. This took us a while and was actually only decided a couple days before our prac lesson of making the pasta. We called it Litana. The design of the box was a downfall i think. More effort could have been put into designing our box to make it catch a views eyes more than what we did to it, however it still turned out nice. While doing the actual practical work and making the pasta was good because lily and i worked well as a team. We cooked the pasta and cooked the chick with the cream and pesto sauce in a quick time. Everything was added together and cooked well which meant we had enough time afterward to spend cleaning up our utensils and putting our pasta into our designed box. Overall it was a fun assignment and our final product turned out looking not only great, but also tasting great. I really enjoyed doing this assignment and in the end, didn't have many difficulties that were hard to overcome.
