That’s why I feel duty bound to share this new discovery. So I was surprised to come across something new that also managed to blow me away. I have tasted almost every pasta sauce imaginable in restaurants around the world and from the dozens of cookbooks I have collected throughout my life. It wasn’t particularly fancy, but it managed to compete quite favourably with the Kraft Dinners and Hamburger Helper meals my friends would serve up. I started cooking in my early 20’s and liked to show off my culinary skills with a very basic spaghetti and tomato sauce with basil. I loved my mom’s pasta dishes, especially her lasagna which my siblings and I (and many friends) still consider world class. Eating pasta on a regular basis was just part of life growing up in an Italian family. I live my life with passion and I do love my pasta. Famed Italian director Federico Fellini once wrote, “Life is a combination of magic and pasta.” I couldn’t agree more.
