What's cookin', good lookin'? Part II

I cannot cook bacon on a stovetop at all. I have some in oven, too. Fingers crossed that turns out less burnt.
 
I've posted my microwaved bacon recipe here, didn't I?

Yeah, you have. It's been a while though, so there are plenty of people who haven't seen it.

I usually do my bacon in the oven, too. It's very rare I cook with bacon, though. How did yours turn out, cookie?
 
I don't know. Between dreaming of my ex and waking up crying, relative dying from Covid within a week, other family issues due to Covid, the GOP thinking it can get away with sedition, life is like a fucking dystopian plague.
 
I must admit, I’ve been converted. I made a lasagna with bechamel sauce and it was fantastic! I’ve gotta critique my tomato sauce though, next time it needs to be thicker. 10/10 would do again.

Oven is a little wonky - didn't heat evenly. But was much better than in a pan.



Will try this next time.
 
Mussels with pasta, tomato, garlic. Bought from the farmers' market yesterday, absolutely delicious.
 
I steam them until they open in white wine and butter. Mmmmm.

I just steam them until they open as they are. Then some olive oil, a bit of garlic, a bit of peperoncino, white wine, parsley and pronto to devour. :devil:

If I have to choose one dish. Spaghetti with clams is the one. And has to be vongole veraci (Venerupis decussata). That's the best.
 
Today I'm in the mood for Bucatini all'amatriciana. One of my favorites and specialties'.

The four classical Roman pastas have become my favorite this year. Especially as I can prepare and eat them during my 30 minute Corona-home-office lunch break.

Awwww. I'm glad we have a lover of them here. I prepare some fantastic amatriciana and carbonara. I am not good with caccio and pepe though. I've tried many times, in various ways but the result is just above average. It seems so simple but it's the most difficult.

I've never been to Rome, I have no idea if my pastas taste the way they would when I would get them served in Rome. So my feedback is only my own sense of taste and the opinion of non-Italian family.

This actually does trouble me, not just for Italian food, but basically any foreign dish that I've never eaten in the country of origin.

And this raises the question, if ignorance isn't a bliss in such a case.

Ahem...sorry for the random blurt.
 
Oven pasta with butternut squash, chickpeas, chili, spinach, pistachios and whatnot.
