hey dudes I'm Hilah and today on Hilah
cooking we're making a pasta caprese
salad it's like a caprese salad but with
pasta added I just realized I've done
that sound anyway it's good I promise
so let's get started I've got my pasta
cooking over there and the first thing
we'll just whip together a quick little
vinaigrette of olive oil and then I'm
gonna use some white wine vinegar and I
really love to use balsamic vinegar on a
caprese salad but I don't want the color
of balsamic vinegar interfering with my
tricolor a salad looking thing going on
here somebody is some champagne vinegar
and then add a little bit of sugar I
know that they make white balsamic but I
never tried it and honestly seems a
little bit like sorcery to me so use it
if you want to but I'm scared of it for
some good reason
okay and then I'm gonna add a little
sugar and just sweeten it up like
balsamic vinegar is just like a teaspoon
really not very much and if you're on a
low sugar thing then just leave it out
but if you're on a little sugar thing
you're probably not eating a bunch of
pasta either so maybe just find a
different recipe I'm gonna add a little
crushed red pepper cuz the lightest
Fassett and some salt just get that
stirred to get the sugar dissolved
and then I've got some cherry tomatoes
when I use the one food hack that I've
ever tried from like one of those
articles or whatever that actually works
get a plastic lid to hold them in place
and then you just get your knife and
like a sharp knife super sharp knife
guys it does work as you can see
whatever you can also just do it by hand
it really doesn't take that along add it
to the vinaigrette cuz I get just coated
and then we're gonna tear up some basil
so chef baby tear this up for me please
Thanks so while he's working on his
basil I'll work on mine and then we'll
compare and see who does a better job so
I don't want to add this in until the
very end but we can go ahead and tear it
up while we're waiting for the pasta to
cook because time is like waste not why
not time is perhaps the most important
resource of all
wisdom hashtag it okay so I've got my
pasta here it's cooked it's drained and
then I rinsed it with some cold water
and kind of smooshed it around to chill
it and then we can add in some
mozzarella so this is fresh mozzarella
diced up that's the reason I chilled the
pasta was just so it doesn't melt too
much and turn into like a real stringy
cheesy mess and then the basil do you
have the basil back there chef baby
it's totally fired never mind good thing
