Do you have an absolutely perfect pasta dish?
Oh, God. There are so many, but lasagna bolognese is probably one of the greatest things in the world.
Would you ever open your own restaurant?
I want to, and then my wife looks at me like I’m an idiot. But I really would. It would be very small, tiny and seasonal, practically no menu. Wine on tap. Brown paper on the tables, like an osteria. Like 10 tables. That’s it.

Sounds like heaven
Right?!?!
I gained a pound just looking at the picture!
Me too!
Lasagna Bolognese is great, especially with Béchamel saue, not Ricotta.
But my favorite pastas are the ones we twirl.
Agree on Bechamel. Disagree on twirls. Stay traditional!!!!
Spaghetti or Fusilli are not traditional? Come on
Not in Lasagna. Get with Program. **** Traditional lasagna recipes typically use **flat, wide pasta sheets**, often called **lasagna noodles** or **lasagna sheets**. These can be either boiled before assembling the lasagna or used in their no-boil form, which cook during the baking process.***
I love Stanley, but I’ve never had a sub-par lasagne. (Pretty sure it’s impossible, unless someone uses that jar of sugar sauce no one talks about, Prego.😬) I agree with him, though, about sweatpants!
Me too on Lasagne!!
My copy is coming. And thanks for the link to the interview I loves me some Stanley!
Let me know what think of it. It’s had great reviews!
I was just looking at my posts (since I’m working on my Walktober) and I fell on the post that I did an à la DK “Walking, With Stanley”. I talked about how much I loved his Book “Taste” that I listened to and then ended up buying the hardcover. I have zero doubts I will love it.
Good!
Mmm… I’m so hungry!
Laughing. I just ordered pizza!!!! Lasagna would take too long!
Ahahahahahah!
I love Stanley Tucci and I loved his show, Searching for Italy.
He’s good!
Are you serious? Explaining lasagna to me?
Laughing….
No boil form is not good.
I had an aunt that made the best beef lasagna and spaghetti bolognese. I’ve tried to make it the same as she did but no, it just doesn’t work!
Interesting how that is that one can never seem to replicate a Master, even with a Recipe!
Good job
Thank you
