Caprese Pasta with Thai Basil

This caprese pasta is the perfect cool and refreshing summer dish. The lemon-infused white balsamic vinegar adds a really nice twist to this classic dish.

Ingredients:

1 pound spaghetti
1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon-infused white balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, chopped
⅓ cup chopped thai basil
1 (8 ounce) container small mozzarella balls in oil, halved
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Direction

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
Combine cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and Thai basil in a large mixing bowl; mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Drain pasta and top with cherry tomato mixture.

Collard Greens Ramen

Chef Todd Richards is known for his personal, globally inspired take on Southern cuisine, and his Collard Greens Ramen is no exception. Riffing on a memorable bowl of yaka mein he had as a child, Richards' soup begins with a pot of collards and a generous pour of bourbon, which cooks down into an intense potlikker. Shichimi togarashi, a Japanese spice blend of dried orange peel, ginger, sesame seeds, nori, and a mix of dried chiles, finishes off each bowl. You can find it at Asian groceries, Whole Foods, and amazon.com. As Richards puts it, each ham-hock-enriched, noodle-laced bowl is a hearty thank you to his past — with a strong Southern accent.
