So, they import the flour, make the pasta, and export the pasta. Makes sense, doesn't it.<br /><br />There was recently a tasting of pastas in NY Mag - Trader Joe's brand,Mitch Weinsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850791614629022256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432673176555220097.post-71470040877382663212009-05-13T11:12:00.000-04:002009-05-13T11:12:00.000-04:00Yeah I understand you are too busy to use a coland...Yeah I understand you are too busy to use a colander, but then you got that big pot of hot water on the stove right in your face.

I need that extra time because I've spent all afternoon picking out the condiment.<br /><br />Didn't disclose the pasta because it was the first time I used the brand...but, for you, it was Setaro Brand, from Naples, in between the price of DeCecco, which I pay around $1.99 for, and some of the "artisanal" Mitch Weinsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850791614629022256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432673176555220097.post-60900574283876600142009-05-11T19:05:00.000-04:002009-05-11T19:05:00.000-04:00Lovely, my dear boy.

If it's all about the 'macaroni', then how about mentioning what kind of 'pasta' you used for this dish? And why you have a fetish for not using a colander? I mean, in the kitchen?<br />Thanks!Miami Dannyhttp://www.dailycocaine.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432673176555220097.post-45853468935493008692009-05-11T15:09:00.000-04:002009-05-11T15:09:00.000-04:00Looks delish.
