No wonder you remember it — I will too.

Fifteen years ago I saw some Italian woman on PBS and I’ll always remember what she said:

“In Italy, we have pasta with-a sauce, not sauce with-a pasta!”

Tell ‘em Molto said so! I do love his line about pasta and a little “stuff.”

I agree completely with you and Mario on oversaucing pasta. When I cook pasta for others (Americans), I’m always accused of undersaucing.
