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!

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 ...

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...

Carrot Cake Cream Cheese Pudding Pops Recipe

Carrot Cake Cream Cheese Pudding Pops Recipe Creamy cheesecake pudding pops with chunks of fluffy carrot cake! Creamy, cold, sweet and cake-y, the best of all worlds :) There’s a very popular ice cream shop here in town that I felt never really lived up to the hype. There would be lines out the door, but the one time I tried something, it was icy and bland. After that I swore, never again. But then, they opened up a second location and Mike and I would walk by almost everyday. One sunny day, when there was magically no line, we popped in to take a look at the flavors. Carrot cake immediately called out to me. I mean, I love carrot cake . I had a taste, was sold, and was the happy new owner of a very addictive waffle cone full of creamy ice cream with fluffy chunks of carrot cake and cream cheese icing . It was so good that I was sad when it was over. Because, the truth is, it was over for good. I’ve been back so many times looking for carrot cake, but they ...
