James' Comfort Pasta (San Francisco, based on a dish from Lazio) I created this dish as an answer to a cold and foggy San Francisco night. It is inspired by the famous pasta sauce made with vodka, tomato and cream. It's incredibly simple and yet evokes praise and admiration from all.
Pasta cacio e pepe (Lazio region) This is one of the most simple pasta dishes in all of Italy and yet it is also one of the most difficult to construct properly. I will show you the techniques for bringing this together in a flawless manner.
