Stay hungry, be smart
How else am I supposed to describe this pasta? Just Aglio e Olio? BORING. I know that’s technically what it is, but I don’t care. I’ve had a hard day and this was quite literally the only thing that went right. Fuck, it may be the only thing of 2020 […]
I don’t know about you guys, but the craving for pasta lately has been off the charts. I guess it’s the whole “comfort food” thing, or maybe it’s the fact that it’s shelf-stable so we’ve all been stocking up. I’ve been trying my hand at different recipes and brands, and […]
Sometimes the best ideas are right in front of you. In the current state of the world, we are being forced to stay inside and “self quarantine”. In MY world, however, that means “eat, cook, and eat what you cook”. Since there’s a lot of pasta in my cabinet right […]
Another social media “holiday” is upon us. Everyone rejoice! Just kidding I don’t really understand them but it gives me a lot of inspiration for #content, so let’s do this thing. National Pasta Day is October 17th evidently, so in order to celebrate accordingly, here is a list of some […]

Editor’s note: updated post for 2018 Once again, I will use another made up social media holiday as an excuse to give you some of my favorite pasta recommendations. The below are in no particular order, but you should know that my personal faves are the pomodoro pasta from Scarpetta, […]
Avocado in pasta? YESSSSS. Ok, taste is definitely subjective, but I happen to really like it. I add in little bits of cold avocado on top of the hot pasta and it sort of melts right in, adding a creamy texture without the use of butter or cream. It’s healthier […]
This pasta is one of my favorites to make. It’s so easy, but it does require a certain amount of attention to detail. For example, when making the sauce, be sure to reserve a little bit of pasta water – the starches in it from cooking the pasta help to […]
So I know I’ve talked about this before, but I really, really love this marinara sauce recipe from the NYT Cooking blog. I’ve gotten feedback from a couple of you that it was a little watery for your taste, but here’s the issue: YOU HAVE TO LET IT REDUCE A […]
When friends come into town, you gotta celebrate. Our friend Jen of @indulgenteats was visiting NYC from Hong Kong, and we braved one of the coldest damn days of the year to feast at Don Angie. I’ve been wanting to get here for a while now, if only for that […]
