These days there is a lot of regional Italian food in the U.S., but that wasn't always the case. The more experience I have with cooking, the more I appreciate the no-nonsense approach Mrs. Hazan brought to her books. When I first read through them, I was a little put-off by the "you must make it this way" tone of the recipes. But now I value having her books as a reference, and know enough to make the dishes work for me, like you did in your suggestion for adding some pasta water for part of the cream.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
