Sara’s Weeknight Meals: Season 12
Episode 1201: Essential Pastas of Rome
I kick off a visit to Rome with a street food tour led by American Ex Pat, Katie Parla. First, we sample only in Rome treats like simple but delicious Mortadella sandwiches, Maritozzi pastries oozing with whipped cream, and Suppli, Roman deep fried rice balls. Then, we perform a Roman hat trick – three pastas starting with the same delicious base: Gricia made with guanciale transforms into Amatriciana by adding tomatoes or Carbonara by adding eggs. All are perfect, super easy weeknight meals. In my own kitchen, I make my own delicious pasta – Baked Penne with Prosciutto and Fontina cheese. Mangia!
