VOODOO BRUSCHETTA
I used to order this all the time at the Red Devil Restaurant, but then it was taken off the menu. They gave me the ingredients, though, and I came up with this incredibly yummy spicy bruschetta. It's even better after steeping overnight in the fridge. For the pizza dough, try Basil & Garlic Pizza Dough (ABM), recipe #368470. Enjoy!!

Steps:
- In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir, lightly frying for about a minute, removing before the garlic gets too brown (it can be golden). Pour the garlic and oil into a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
- Add the red and yellow tomatoes, balsamic and basil to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and then taste and add more basil if needed, and more salt if needed (don't over salt, though!) Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two if you have the time.
- Cut the baguette into diagonal slices to allow for the most surface area possible. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet and grill half the bread on both sides, making sure they're nice and buttery. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the other half of the bread.
- To serve, give the tomato mixture a final stir, and then spoon generously over the slices of bread. Serve on a big platter as a first course or appetizer.
VOODOO PASTA
Even if you don't have a lot of time to spend getting dinner together, you can still charm your family with this clever meal idea. In less time than it takes the fusilli to cook, you can conjure up a spicy Alfredo sauce with blackened Smoked Sausage. When the pasta is done, just toss with the sauce. It's pure magic.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are red, plump, and free of blemishes.
- Roast the tomatoes before using them. Roasting intensifies their flavor and makes them sweeter.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is the key to great bruschetta bread. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is flavorful and has a fruity aroma.
- Don't overload the bruschetta bread. You want each bite to have a balance of flavors, so don't pile on too many toppings.
- Serve the bruschetta bread immediately. Bruschetta bread is best when it's fresh out of the oven. If you're making it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator and reheat it before serving.
