  4. 04

    Add the pecorino cheese.

  5. 05

    Let simmer, stirring often, until the milk reduces a bit. About 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile start cooking your pasta.When your pasta has about 1 minute left, heat a large skillet, add a bit of olive oil.

  6. 06

    Add your greens, scallions, sun dried tomatoes, and a pinch of salt. Cook until just barely wilted.

  7. 07

    Add a big squeeze of lemon.

  8. 08

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
