Bella’s Burrata Pasta

It all starts with fresh pasta, with a blistered fresh garlic tomato sauce, crispy prosciutto, lots of freshly grated parmesan, baby basil leaves, EVOO and of course burrata.

I love when I give myself the time to be creative. That means knowing when I am pulled in too many directions and recognizing I need to slow my s**t down and get down to the core of what makes me creative and happy ❤️

For those of you in my Holiday Appetizer class this month you will remember the shrimp in the wonton cups… well using the glaze and salsa from that recipe I created a new dish.

Blackened Salmon with pomegranate tangerine glaze and pomegranate tangerine & avocado salsa. Flavors are crazy on the salmon. Yumm!

If potato gnocchi was easier to make, would you give it a try? Nothing is better than braised short ribs with potato gnocchi.
I tried a new technique this afternoon using a piping bag. Piping the potato dough straight into the boiling water. This technique makes more of a lighter gnocchi (because you don’t have to use as much flour) and a little more uniform in size and not a big mess to clean up.

I bet my Saturday breakfast tastes better then yours 😍 I found the cutest little squash at Sprouts. Was not completely sure how I was going to use them this week but I had to buy them.
I cut two squash rings and then cut a circle in the center to remove the seeds. I sautĂŠed the squash in a skillet with olive oil, seasoned with sea salt, oregano and crushed red pepper. During the cooking process I flipped a few times. Once the squash was feeling tender I cracked an egg into each ring once the egg was setting underneath I flipped to finish cooking the egg.
Served with a kale salad with apple, butternut, bacon, pepita seeds and EVOO
Apple, bacon & butternut were left over from cooking class this week. I never let anything go to waste.

There is a fig, blood orange and cranberry balsamic vinegars perfect for the holidays. The Ascolano “Best Friend For Life” EVOO and California Estate “Backyard” EVOO produced from imported olive trees from Crete.
