Italian restaurant food. Why should I pay so much for spaghetti and meatballs???
Spaghetti and meatballs, the classic italian dish. If you're american
The British came up with that one.
I ate Scott Conant's lamb tagliatelle Ragu and it was really good. Fresh pasta hand made to order by a pro is worth it.
Agreed. That's why I always order something cool like gnocchi when I go to an Italian restaurant. It's much harder to make that well at home.
if you have the right kind of potato, it's very easy and it takes less time than most handmade pasta
Pasta gnocchi come from a bag. Potato fresh gnocchi take work.
This is my opinion too! Basic Italian-American stuff seems really simple to DIY, so unless a place has some really killer house made sauce it always feels like such a ripoff. If I'm going out, I typically want something that is either too hard, laborious, or messy to make at home.
Italian food in USA is warm garbage. Everyone overcooks the pasta and puts on two much sauce.
