Go Cook this

It’s fast (you really can have it finished in thirty minutes).  It’s easy.  It’s cheap.  And oh my, does it taste yummy.  

You might have to give up an email address to get to the recipes, but they’re both free recipes that were on America’s Test Kitchen on PBS recently.  In the show, they suggested that the garlic-shy could use as few as three cloves of garlic, but seriously, you want to use all six.  The house will smell fantastic for hours. 

Ziti

This one uses a bit of cream.  Which I did not have on hand.  So I used milk with a dollop of butter.  I also used 16 ounces of pasta and increased the water to four cups—in a bigger pan of course.

  

Ziti with Putanesca Sauce

This is a variation on the theme, using some anchovy and olive, and substituting red wine for the cream.  I’ll do this one next time.  Side note, I can’t read ‘Putanesca’ without thinking of the scene in the first Lemony Snicket book, where Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are forced to cook dinner for Count Olaf and his troupe of ‘actors.’  

You know you wanna.
