"Matteo Lane is a liar. In the pages of Your Pasta Sucks, he repeats that he has no business writing a cookbook, all while masterfully (and hilariously) weaving an intricate tale of food and family and schooling the reader in the flavors, traditions, and techniques of Rome, Sicily, and his own Italian-American kitchen."-Katie Parla, author of Food of the Italian Islands
Your pasta sucks, but it doesn't have to. Matteo Lane, the comedian behind The Al Dente Special on Hulu, shows you how in his bestselling book of 30 delicious recipes and laugh-out-loud stories..
Organized by the most important places and people in his life-from Chicago and New York to Rome and Sicily-comedian, actor, and YouTube sensation Matteo Lane's first cookbook features recipes rooted in serious pasta knowledge but presented with his signature snarky and sassy wit. Turn these pages to find:
-
A conversational recipe (definitely not an argument) with his bestie Nick Smith on their versions of Mac and Cheese.
-
A short rant over the validity of "alfredo" that turns into a delicious recipe for Penna alla Vodka.
-
Matteo's foolproof Homemade Pasta recipe.
-
Lots of hardworking, handy tips-like a treatise on how to not f*ck up your pasta-so you can learn while you laugh.
And that's not all-the book's jacket folds out into a centerfold-style poster that redefines "saucy"!
For fans of Matteo Lane or readers looking for a humorous take on Italian culture,
Your Pasta Sucks will satisfy all.
