One Pot Pasta with Sausage, Tomatoes, and Burrata

camp one pot pasta - www.iamafoodblog.com

I’m all about the carbs, especially while camping. There’s something about being in the great outdoors that just begs to be paired with a big ol’ plate of pasta. This is an extra hearty take on a super simple one-pot pasta. Sausages are browned, tomatoes are blistered, and the spaghetti is cooked in the pan, no draining needed. I added some hand-torn chunks of burrata on top for a bit of extra decadence – not your typical camp cheese, but if you bring it with you on your first day and use it right away, I say, why not?! You’re camping, treat yourself!

One Pot Pasta with Sausage, Tomatoes, and Burrata Recipe

1 link farmers sausage, sliced

1 pint cherry tomatoes

oil, for the pan

3-4 cloves garlic, sliced

1/2 teaspoon pepper flakes

6 oz spaghetti

2 cups water

1 ball burrata

Heat up a large cast iron pan over medium high heat and fry the sausage slices on both sides until lightly browned. Remove from the pan and in the leftover fat rendered out from the sausage, blister the tomatoes until the skins burst and slightly soft. Remove from the pan.

Heat up a touch of oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and pepper flakes, stirring often, until lightly golden. Add the water and pasta to the pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil, stirring and flipping pasta with tongs until pasta is al dente and cooked through and water as nearly evaporated, about 8-9 minutes. Add the sausage and tomatoes back into the pan. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper and top with burrata. Enjoy!

Vietnamese Fish Tacos with Quick-Pickled Carrots and Daikon

Vietnamese Fish Tacos with Quick-Pickled Carrots and Daikon Sometimes it feels like everyday is Taco Tuesday around these parts. I’m not complaining though – I’ll never say no to a fluffy, soft tortilla filled with deliciousness. Especially when that deliciousness is a decidedly Vietnamese take on fish tacos. The fish here is seasoned with fish sauce, sugar, and a wee bit of turmeric for a happy yellow hue. Toss it all up with some dill, tomatoes, mint, and cilantro and you’ve got a happy mash-up of Mexican and Vietnamese flavors. Vietnamese Fish Tacos with Quick-Pickled Carrots and Daikon serves 2-4 prep time: 10 minutes active time: 10 minutes total time: 20 minutes Fish: 1 lb firm white fish, such as cod 2 teaspoons fish sauce 2 teaspoons sugar 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground tumeric 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon oil 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint 1 tablespoon sliced green onions 1...

Smoked Salmon and Avocado Summer Rolls

Smoked Salmon and Avocado Summer Rolls Happy Monday friends! Did you guys have a good one? We had a big ol’ Vietnamese eating and drinking party on Saturday. According to Mike, these parties are called “nhậu.” Basically a bunch of people get together, drink and consume massive amounts of beer snacks. It’s kind of like going to an izakaya in Japan, or maybe heading to the bar for happy hour, only we did it at home since there’s no such thing as a Vietnamese bar around here. Funny fact about that: almost all of the Vietnamese restaurants around here are unlicensed because some Vietnamese people get angry when they drink. Just so we’re clear, I have no idea if any of this is true, but considering this theory comes from Mike–who actually is Vietnamese–I’ll take his word for it. Plus, there’s this pretty crazy video of some girls throwing down in a pho restaurant that kinda sorta supports his hypothesis. No word ...

Grilled Vietnamese Pork Meatballs Recipe

Grilled Vietnamese Pork Meatballs Recipe It’s grilling season! Ever since our first mini grilling session , Mike and I have been living the patio life, grilling up anything and everything in sight. We’ve been doing a lot of vegetables, and along with those, we’ve been doing the every so classic Vietnamese nem nuong. If you guys haven’t had nem nuong, you’re missing out. Juicy, perfectly grilled pork seasoned with fish sauce, garlic, pepper, and a touch of sugar. Nem nuong, or nem, which just means sausage, for short, is a staple on most Vietnamese menus. It’s a signature pink color (from food coloring) and you’ll usually see it grilled or pan-fried and served with rice or vermicelli. It comes in patties, balls, or sometimes on a skewer. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you can order it with a ton of veggies and rice paper so you can roll up your own salad rolls. I love nem so much that it was one of the first things I learned how to say properly, instead of just sayin...
