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!

Sunday Brunch with BAE: Bacon Avocado Egg Sandwich

Sunday Brunch with BAE: Bacon Avocado Egg Sandwich I’m a huge fan of breakfast sandwiches, not that I actually eat them at breakfast. I actually fail at adulting because I don’t do breakfast, except for coffee and sometimes medium-soft boiled eggs. Usually, Mike and I will have something around 10 or 11, or even just start our day with lunch. It’s not that we wake up really late – on the contrary, Mike gets up insanely early (around 6) and I wake up between 7 and 8. I’m not quite sure when I started not eating breakfast on the regular because I have really vivid memories of eating cereal as a kid. It was always Corn Pops or Cocoa Pebbles. As a teen I’d make myself a slice of dry white toast to eat while walking to school. Somehow breakfast eating fell along the wayside. But, I’m pretty sure I can get into eating breakfast on the regular, especially if these breakfast sandwiches were on the menu. I mean, you really can’t go wrong with bacon, egg, and avo...

Welsh Rarebit Recipe

Welsh Rarebit Recipe Yesterday Mike and I had a little midnight snack! We aren’t really midnight snackers, but I had just finished watching Blue is the Warmest Color and was feeling peckish – there are a lot of spaghetti shots in the movie. Which is very long and very French and very much full of sexy lesbian scenes . It won a Palme D’or in 2013 and is very highly regarded, except on Netflix, where it has a rating of one star. When Mike suggested it I was a little skeptical but was very quickly drawn in. Mike not so much because he fell asleep. The acting was excellent so I recommend it if you like foreign films about the exquisite ecstasy of falling in and out of love. Anyway, when I finished the movie and woke Mike up, we decided we’d have a little bit of fun and shoot a post, casual style. I’ve always wanted to make Welsh rarebit and we magically had all of the ingredients in the fridge, so we went for it! Welsh rarebit, or rabbit, as it’s cal...

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 ...
