Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

No one wine will suit every pasta dish. Pasta in a tomato-based sauce will usually work well with a medium-bodied red, such as a montepulciano or chianti. Pasta with seafood or pesto will fare better with a light-bodied white, such as a pinot grigio. Cheese-heavy pasta can pair well with red or white - you might try a sangiovese wine for hard cheeses and a chardonnay for soft cheeses. We may be able to make a better recommendation if you ask again with a specific pasta dish.

  1. Oh it is so ugly outside. Im so doggedly tired of slogging through rushing rivers of slush, teetering over shifting tectonic plates of glacial sidewalk ice, and slipsliding down MBTA stairwells onto slick platforms thick with impatient, pushy, and padded-with-winter-wear people. I couldnt even spare the effort to make it to the grocery store, even though Clayton and I walked by it on our way home from Harvard Square. Both of us were too weary to be hungry; all we had in sight was our wee warm house, and our comfy couches. But after an hour of warming up and relaxing, we realized we needed to eat but we had little to nothing in the house. BUT little to nothing in Lolitas kitchen means at least enough to throw together this easiest of simplest of delicious-est dinners! All you need is a nice pantry, a commitment to heavy cream, butt
  2. I bought these beautiful squiggly things (fuselli, I think) at the Salumeria the last time we were there, and have been waiting to use this other half package. It was the perfect serving for two.
  3. I dump the pasta into salted boiling water for about 12 minutes. I usually take a noodle out at the 10 minute mark to see how cooked it is, and then adjust my cooking time based on that. Its not rocket science, but it can be intuitive.
  4. Using my netspoon, I fish out my al dente pasta, and dump the noodles into my pan, where my butter has been melting over medium heat.
  5. I toss everything well
  6. Add my cream, and simmer
  7. And I add my cheese, and simmer, until my sauce is the thickness I want. If I want to thin it some, I add a bit of my pasta water, and stir well. At the last moment, I add some sea salt and a hefty serving of cracked black pepper, until it tastes real durn good.
  8. Once my water was aboilin, this took 20 minutes to get to my table. Springy, firm but tender pasta, draped lightly with milk and umame cheese, speckled with grains of pepper and green onion rings. This is warm, elegant, simple, yet transcendent. This is basically a macaroni and cheese, but is also oh so much more. I can see how these flavors come together in rural farmhouses all along the Italian peninsula; the yield from a healthy cow, foraging pigs digging local truffles, a backyard garden thats all one needs. And I see why it makes its way to the poshest gourmet experience in Manhattan, and why it cost $14 a plate for what I was able to cobble together from stuff in my fridge: because it is sinfully delicious, and decadently alluring like a nymphette to Humbert Humbert, or mature wo
