Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side.

Easy Three-Cheese Pasta Recipe

Carmina has a best friend she has been asking what I have been eating. I had informed her I have been cooking pasta noodles in the rice cooker.

She was curious how it is possible to cook pasta in your rice cooker. I said, it is easy just add water in the pot where you normally add water and press the bottom by plugging the plug to the socket.

The water begins to blow add enough pasta inside for example our packages is by kilo. I only add half kilo to the pot and set my timer for fifteen minutes.

I stir it with my rice spoon nothing metal, so it doesn't scratch the rice cooker pot.

I don't add any oil, but you can if you want too.

Once in a while I check it and open the lid slightly open prevent the water to overflow. Stir it so it doesn't stick the pot next you know it is already cooked. I use the steamer that comes with the rice cooker to strain the pasta noodles.

Transfer the cooked pasta in a plastic container and prepare the sauce and toppings to your pasta.


In any country there are instant pasta sauce that are premade all you need to add whatever ingredients you want to eat along with your Three-Cheese Pasta. I had added fresh spinach. I had also cook it inside the rice cooker with the same process add water, press the button on rice cooker and wait until the water was boiling to add the spinach. 

How do you know when the spinach is cooked?

The color will change turning green.

Strain the spinach and add it to your cooked pasta noodles that is already mixed into the three-cheese pasta sauce.
