Plain ol’ pasta doesn’t have to be plain at all
I really don’t know what to call this dish. After all, it *is* simply rigatoni with sauce and cheese.
Then again, for whatever reason, turning all the noodles upright after cooking and then baking them this way made this dish way more fun….both to make and eat.
It didn’t take very long, but it did take longer than I thought it would. I figured I could do more than one noodle at a time, laying them in bulk, but not a chance. Each one had to be stacked individually.
Doesn’t it look cool when they’re ready, though? And then comes the sauce and cheese. And then more sauce, ‘cause hey, why not?
And then hey, why not some more cheese to melt on top of that?
Yum. Now the tricky part was actually serving it. You see, with all that sauce, the pasta couldn’t exactly stick together, could it?
Notice it going everywhere? (Oh, and those cheese biscuits in the lower left? Also really, really good)
Yeah…. So it might’ve been a little messy….
But it still looked cool in the pan and tasted so much better than just “plain ol’ pasta.”
Incredible edible Harry Potter cakes
With all the hype around Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 2 currently going on, I’ve seen some really awesome HP cakes popping up, too.
Now most of them seem to be from previous years, previous movies, previous books….but whatever. They’re cool regardless. The sources are all linked below the pictures and some of them even have how-to tutorials.
The Sorting Hat from The Quirky Confectioner
Mike’s Amazing Cakes (Yes, that’s a cake, and yes, that’s the last line of the book)
Snitch from Cake Nouveau
Mandrake from Chotda
Deathly Hallows graves cupcakes from The Party Animal

And here’s a video from College Humor feature Guy Fieri at Hogwarts. :P
