Settling in with You Never Can Tell starring Dick Powell as the reincarnation of a murdered dog. It’s his job to find out who killed. It’s a comedy. Or so the box says.

TOD: We have a handful of pasta dishes on our regular cooking rotation. One of the easiest is spaghettini with goat cheese, chili, and chives.

Two tomato-based favorites to cook are spaghetti with tomato, anchovies, and bread crumbs and fettuccine with a simple veal sauce.

One of my favorites is spaghetti cacio e pepe, but that is really tricky to make. It's only 4 ingredients but the technique to get the cheese even and not clumpy is not so easy. I got it just right once but only so-so since then. But I trust practice will make perfect.

I brought a jar of “wild capers” back from Kos. Want to make puttanesca with those a plenty of anchovies.

And then there's bucactini all'Amatriciana. That got hard to do during the Great DeCecco Bucatini shortage of a few years ago but the supply chain is back to normal now.

I love all pasta, from tiny, butter-hungry couscous to rustic rigatoni and on to lasagna noodles

Most of our pasta cooking comes from recipes in either Marcella Hazan's cookbooks or one by her son Guiliano. She doesn't include a cacio e pepe recipe, so that comes from a David Kinch cookbook. There was also a good YouTube video that got me close before Kinch's more precise quantities helped get me there.

Oh no, feel better soon. Hopefully it's mostly a matter of rest?

I can't really think of a pasta dish I cannot abide. But the late lamented East Coast Grill in Cambridge made a Pasta from Hell dish that I could not finish, though the first bite or two were fine.

MichaelG, I first saw Clerks at the Sarasota Film Festival right before a screening of Red Rock West. Both films left indelible impressions.

Ooh, Red Rock West does look good. I hadn't heard of that before. Thanks!
