GUY COOKS WITH KIDS: DUNCAN'S PESTO AND MOZZARELLA SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the pestos together thoroughly with a fork until combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the pesto mixture on 1 side of both pieces of the bread and spread evenly with a butter knife.
• Preheat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Place the slices of prosciutto flat on the griddle to heat through and until slightly brown at the edges. Place 2 slices mozzarella on 1 of the slices of pesto bread. Top with the tomato slices, the cooked prosciutto and the remaining 2 slices mozzarella. Finish by topping with the other slice of bread, pesto side down.
• Spray the sandwich on 1 side with the olive oil spray. With a spatula, place the sandwich, sprayed side down, on the griddle. When sandwich is on the griddle, spray the other side.
• When the cheese begins to melt on 1 side, use the spatula to flip the sandwich. Cook about 5 minutes on the other side.

GRANDPA GUY'S PASTA

Steps:

• 1. Cook pasta el dente, I use shells but any type is fine. Drain and set aside
• 2. Cook bacon in large enough pan to add all ingredients including pasta. (I didn't make it clear and one of my nieces used 4 pans)Remove Bacon nd set aside to chop later. Use olive oil if you want to omit bacon
• 3. Add green pepper & onions to pan, saute until onions are clear but not browned. Add garlic toss and then add pasta. Toss to warm pasta and then add oregano and tomatoes making sure tomatoes don't get mushy.
• 4. Plate and top with chopped bacon. I also sprinkle with parma cheese, but my husband doesn't.
