Diva Cooking 101

Divas cook gorgeous things that are fabulous enough to share with friends and family. They just don't cook much. Every diva needs a few, easy signature dishes to get by. Are you a diva cook?

Divas cook while listening to Billie Holiday, Muddy Waters, or the Rolling Stones.

Divas cook while sipping Champagne, Chardonnay, or a martini.

Divas cook with a feather boa draped around their shoulders.

While cooking, divas nibble gin-soaked olives or Champagne-saturated strawberries.

Divas cook while wearing an apron that says, "Tomorrow is another Chardonnay."

A diva's favorite breakfast is last night's appetizers.

Divas don't stress over particular amounts in any recipe. Glugs, plops, and handfuls are accurate enough.

Divas can cook with boas because diva recipes do not require many steps. Still, the food is fabulous.

Pasta with Onion, Bacon, and Goat Cheese

This is a nice, light pasta dish. It is also quick to make. I use wheat rotini, but you might like something like campanelle or farafelle. And just like the recipe Gorgeous Tortellini Salad, this satisfies my love of goat cheese and my man's love of all things bacon.

Pasta with Onion, Bacon, and Goat Cheese

1 lb. of your favorite short pasta, cooked

bacon, crumbled (mine comes from a jar)

1 small onion, sliced

glug of sherry

2-3 garlic cloves, chopped

a few dashes of thyme

a healthy handful of goat cheese

salt and pepper

Saute the onions, garlic, and thyme in olive oil.
Season with salt and pepper.
Add sherry and cook until onions begin to brown.
Crumble goat cheese over pasta.
Add onion mixture and a bit of reserved pasta water.
Sprinkle with bacon and toss.

Make it a meal: Throw some green peas in.

Wine: Sauvignon Blanc
