Ingredients
- 10 oz. can diced tomatoes with green chiles
- 6 oz. can tomato paste
- 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
- 16 oz. box of pasta (any kind)
- 1 small or medium onion, halved and slivered
- 15 oz. can black olives, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves
- 5 or 6 slices of deli sliced turkey
- 3 to 4 cups mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- Spices, to taste: thyme, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, italian seasoning, chili powder, marjoram, sage, tarragon, onion powder, fresh ground pepper
Directions
- Prepare pasta according to box directions.
- While pasta is cooking, mix all tomato ingredients into a medium saucepan, heating the pan on moderately low. Slice the black olives and add them to the sauce.
- Slice and sliver the onion, chop the garlic, and add to the sauce. Then add all the spices, to taste.
- Stir in a cup or so of mozzarella cheese into the sauce, and cook it until cheese is starting to melt, and onions are just beginning to get done. They'll continue cooking while it bakes.
- After the pasta has finished cooking, pour it into a 9x13 dish, and pour the sauce over it. Stir it until the pasta has been thoroughly coated in the sauce, adding another cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Bake covered for 25 minutes at 350º F.
- Cut and dice the deli-sliced turkey. Mix the parmesan cheese together with italian seasoning and fresh ground pepper.
- After the dish is finished baking, lay the deli meat in a layer over top of it, then sprinkle one cup mozzarella cheese and the parmesan cheese mixture over top.
- Bake uncovered for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Guys in the Kitchen – Episode 1, Popcorn
It's geniuses at play. Well, almost.
It's actually just guys in the kitchen — which can be dangerous at times.
Dominic recently got a Canon EOS 7D, a dSLR which also happens to shoot full HD video. We've been wanting to do some tests with it to see whether or not we'll be able to use it on some paying projects we're working on. One of those projects is along the lines of a cooking show, so we had the brilliant idea of making our own cooking show for testing purposes.
Since Geno doesn't know how to cook anything other than popcorn, we thought we'd get him out of the way first. So, here's episode one, in which Geno explains how to make real popcorn. Not the dumb bagged microwave stuff.
