Tucci’s mother was all about the antipasti, even if there’s a big meal ahead. “There’d be cured meats like prosciutto and salami, cheeses, olives, roasted peppers; there might be raw seafood, almost like a ceviche,” Tucci recalls.What’s on Tucci’s table? Turkey, of course, and stuffing with water chestnuts and hunks of bread. The cranberry sauce is homemade and the sweet potatoes are baked with butter, honey, brown sugar, and maple syrup .
“Italians are very, very, very particular about what pasta goes with what sauce. Only certain salse complement certain paste and vice versa. This is why in any worthwhile Italian cookbook there will be at most three different types of pasta suggested to accompany a specific sauce. There have been times when someone in my household made a traditional family sauce and served it with a completely incompatible pasta. I cannot describe the feeling I have when confronted with this.
“My suggestion to anyone who eats pasta either with or without gluten is, please pair it with the appropriate sauce and vice versa, because you never know who might be watching. Here are a few wonderful and, for me, acceptable combinations of paste and salse.”
His book “Taste: My Life Through Food” is terrific. His new series, “Inside Man” is fun, and of course his CNNOriginals “Searching For Italy” is magnificent. tucciofficial
🍸 cheers mate
These are all givens. Just like the content in his show. Not clear on the entitled, smug, Tucci hype.
Is there JIN ?
Like him a lot too bad it’s on CNN
He needs a better platform or show. We want more Tucci.
