FETTUCCINE WITH THREE CHEESES
Steps:
- Cut the tomatoes in 1/2. In a large mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt, freshly ground black pepper and olive oil with the tomatoes and massage them lightly with your hands. Boil 1 gallon of water in a large pot, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the fettuccine, and cook to al dente. Drain well. Next, add the hot cooked pasta on top of the tomatoes in the bowl, then add Parmigiano and pecorino. Toss gently until the cheeses melt evenly around pasta. Add smoked mozzarella and toss. Add fresh basil and toss.
DRUNKEN WATERMELON
Steps:
- With a knife, shave off the stem end of the watermelon, just enough so that it sits flat. Cut the top off the watermelon, about 3 inches down. Scoop out half of the watermelon with a melon baller and set aside
- Scoop out remaining watermelon, leaving the rind-bowl. This will be your punch bowl. Transfer scooped out melon (not the melon balls) to a blender and puree; may be done in batches. Push watermelon puree through a strainer to remove pulp and any seeds. Return watermelon water to the watermelon punch bowl. Stir in tequila, triple sec, and melon balls. Top off with lemon-lime soda. Serve cold over ice.
PASTA WITH FOUR CHEESES
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, add noodles and cook until done about 6 to 7 minutes or according to package directions. Meanwhile, finely dice your cheddar and brie into 1/4-inch cubes. Combine the cheeses with the white wine and ricotta in the top of a double boiler or in a microwave proof container that is large enough to accommodate the cooked pasta. If you are using a double boiler, melt the cheese while the pasta is cooking, if you are using a microwave you can wait until the pasta is done. When the pasta is done, drain, pat dry, and toss it with the melted cheese. Or is you are using a microwave oven, heat the cheese for 1 minute. Whisk it vigorously and return it to the microwave for 20 seconds. Add the drained pasta to the melted cheese, right in the microwave dish, and toss. Season with lots of freshly ground pepper and scallion.
