Q&A:
1. What’s your go-to “I only have 15 minutes” dinner?
Eggs and noodles- It's the first dish I learned how to cook when I was 10 years old- it's my great grandma's recipe- it's like a carbonara for kids. Here's the recipe!
Cook Linguine al dente. In a frying pan add olive oil, some minced garlic, and the pasta, add 3 eggs and scramble the eggs into the pasta- add salt, pepper, parmesan cheese and top with crushed red pepper- easy and delicious!
2. If your kitchen had a theme song, what would it be?
Fly Me To The Moon- Frank Sinatra
3. What’s the most “oops” cooking moment you’ve had on camera or off?
Once I knocked a full glass of champagne over on live TV, but my personal "oops" moment- I over cooked chicken parm during a dinner party I was hosting because I didn't time the dishes correctly- lesson learned! Luckily, I always cook too much and we had plenty of homemade fettuccine, meatballs, and other apps and sides!
4. Choose between pasta tacos and dessert for your entire existence.
Pasta!
5. Which ingredient would you smuggle onto a deserted island?
Parmesan cheese.
Food is the universal language of love—every shared dish is an invitation to connect and belong.
