Mixing up the traditional caprese salad with burrata is delicious... I found the burrata holds the balsamic better and has a wonderful texture. For the uninitiated, a caprese salad consists of; tomato, basil, and mozzarella with an accompaniment of basalmic vinegar, salt and pepper.

Nachos so deep that you'll need a spoon to eat them. The first time I made these it was a one pot meal sous vide which you can do, but it's easier in a pan.

Aside from grating the Peccorino I suppose its possible to make it one handed holding a baby, but it's much easier to plop your little one in a carrier. Total time about 15min. Place your spaghetti in a large flat bottom saute pan. Mine is just large enough to squeeze the noodles in stacked along the center line. (I have seen Alton Brown cut an inch off the end if they don't fit in your pan.) Then add 3 cups water (for 2 servings, if your doing more start with 4 cups). Yes, I know, the noodles aren't all covered with water) Yes, I understand this is not how you normally make pasta. Anyway. Cook pasta on high, stirring occasionally, until there is only about 1/4 cup of water left in the p...
