fresh pasta

Fine, I told him - go ahead and make it.

++does he know how much work it is to make fresh pasta?

Re Marcella Hazan--she is one of the few chefs that the RG likes. He knows all those people from Jacques Pepin to Emeril to Bobby Flay et al, and very few get a positive comment from him. But Marcella is another story. He adores her and we have a number of her cookbooks. He likes Jacques, too. For some strange reason they often get seated next to each other on airplanes.

I like to watch his face when cooking shows are on. Such scorn (Bobby Flay, Emeril). But when Marcella is on, he looks like he could melt.
