| No images? Click here  Cooking Projects to Do When You're Home All DayThe days of self-isolation cooking are upon us, and that means lots of deep-dive cooking projects, the kinds we used to actively avoid during the week because they simply took too long. But now that our home is also our office and gym, it's not too difficult to step away from the computer midday to proof dough or check on a slowly braising chunk of meat in the kitchen. We welcome a distraction from the craziness of life, and oftentimes, that distraction comes in the form of an elaborate recipe. Without further ado, here are our favorite cooking projects to keep you busy during social distancing.

What to do with your ramen noodles
| No images? Click here  Bacon and Egg Mazemen  What if you took pasta carbonara but made it with alkaline noodles instead? That sounds great! But what if, instead of just subbing in ramen for spaghetti, you took the idea further, offering a carbonara-ish flavor profile but added in some flavors that are more identifiably Japanese: soy sauce, mirin, and the savory, smoky shaved flakes of fermented, smoked, cured, and dried bonito? Well, then you'd be some kind of ramen genius. Ingredient rec  Katsuobushi (Shaved Dried Bonito Flakes) Katsuobushi is a Japanese pantry staple, but it isn't strictly necessary for this recipe. However, it does add a smoky, savory complexity that makes the dish especially delicious. More uses for those ramen noodles

Easy pasta with spicy tomato sauce
| No images? Click here  Pasta With Spicy 'Nduja-Tomato Sauce  The best weeknight pasta recipes are ones that call for just a handful of pantry ingredients, involve very little prep work, but still come with a big flavor payoff. This recipe more than fits the bill. It's essentially a tomato-based meat sauce, but there's no raw ground meat to brown or cured pork to slowly render over low heat. Instead, this sugo gets its meaty richness from one of our favorite salumi: 'nduja. Nduja's high fat content, which gives it a soft, spreadable texture, also allows it to easily emulsify and meld into a quick tomato sauce made with just a couple of shallots (perfect for those of us who don't love ending up with a fridge full of forgotten half-onions), and a bottle of tomato passata, an Italian pantry favorite of puréed but not cooked-down tomatoes, which is used as a cheat code for quick sauces. The kitchen essential  Minimize splatter as you combine your pasta, sauce, and 'duja with a straight-sided sauté pan, like this one by Tramontina. More quick and easy dinners
