Pasta with Cherry Tomatoes

August 11, 2020August 30, 2020cooking, Uncategorized2 Comments

I love YouTube and spent one evening searching through new food channels and stumbled on Lidia Bastianich’s page. I must have watched 15 of her videos’ in a row because she is so confident and approachable about cooking. During the pandemic I have been making all my meals. Where is my award??? But seriously, thanks to Lidia I have added new meals into my rotation.

This spaghetti dish requires a handful of ingredients and is still extremely flavor. I highly recommend making this dish while tomatoes are in season. So now, run don’t walk to your garden or the nearest farmers market.

Recipe via Lidia Bastianich website and watch her video below.

I can’t wait to make this again, hopefully for a group of people. Feel free to substitute the ricotta salata, if you can’t find it in store, I used parmigiano-reggiano. This recipe goes fast so get organized and be ready to sit and eat once you add the tomatoes and cheese. Don’t clean any dishes, go eat.

Mangia bene!

2020 has been the longest year, Period. I still feel stuck in March, do you? While trying to keep safe, it has become increasingly monotonous. I wanted to feel more creative and in the process of brainstorming activities, I remembered Hello, you had a blog, maybe you should get back to posting. I am excited to be more active on my site and in light of everything that is going on in world, I look forward to positive changes.

I have been baking a ton over the course of the pandemic, but if you happen to come across these Kit Kat ice cream drumsticks buy it #yummyyummy

I finally finished season 4 of HBO’s insecure and to fill the void, I discovered they have an official podcast insecuritea; listening has been great in terms of hearing all the observations and makes me feel like I am at work chatting with my co-worker 😢

Looks like some airlines are stepping up and requiring every passenger has a mask on, no excuses

Speaking of masks, I love these from Athleta for shopping/walking/leisure activities and Adidas for the more humid days and outdoor workouts

Looks like Bon Appetit has lost three test kitchen video food creators for failing to pay them equitably

Maybe its because the weather isn’t done flip flopping that I’ve had more luck looking racking up a list of home decor items rather than fall clothing items, but I am sure that once Veteran’s Day sale alerts begin rolling into my inbox, I’ll have better luck.
