Last year’s edition of Super Bowl Gluttony — chicken parmesan and ravioli — taught me that you can indeed over- do something. Too much food, too much time, too much money, too much cleaning. This year, we’re simplifying the game plan: cheeseburgers. Not just any cheeseburgers, but an inside-out cheeseburger. The best part about this year’s experiment is that it’s cheap and relatively easy to pull off in time for Sunday’s matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In 1930, when the great Edouard de Pomiane addressed the topic in his cookbook “French Cooking in Ten Minutes: or, Adapting to the Rhythm of Modern Life,’’ one of his first instructions was to start a pot of water boil- ing — “What’s it for? I don’t know, but it’s bound to be good for something.’’ Well, I wouldn’t presume to one-up de Pomiane, but I can definitely tell you what that pot of boiling water is for in my kitchen: cooking dried pasta, the greatest friend a DON BARTLETTI/Los Angeles Times weeknight cook has ever had.
