I Cooked With Stanley Tucci!

That headline is what you would call “clickbait”. Because Stanley wasn’t anywhere near me...THIS was, however:

I am a huge fan of Stanley Tucci: as an Actor, as a TV Host and of course as a great Chef who shares stories and recipes from his family and their food culture. That led me to do this:

I made Stanley’s family recipe for Ragu with Meatballs…delicious and fun to make!

You see, while I have a separate site for nothing but recipes and food news, this two-part recipe took so much time I had to share it here!

The entire process was close to 4 hours, but so worth it!

It was all part of a great “cooking with the stars” cookbook club event – click here to see the entire recipe and how you can make it yourself!

It’s all part of a great cookbook club I belong to – run by Jo Tracy! I shared the recipe on Jo’s cookbook club site – see all of the recipes submitted here, beginning with her delicious entry:

I love taking part in these cooking efforts, and I have cooked a number of Tucci’s family recipes before, like this one:

I made his family’s great Chicken Cacciatore recipe and you can see it here:

My wife had Tucci on her talk show and showed him this montage of photos:

That’s me cooking his incredible Timpano recipe – and he approved!

See what an undertaking this dish is – and why it is so worth it! Click on the story for the recipe and process to make your own “pasta pie!”

I became obsessed with Tucci’s cooking when he made a dish on his CNN travel series.

How obsessed?

THIS OBSESSED!

I made “Spaghetti alla Nerano” with some added “Zoodles” as well – click here for this amazingly delicious recipe!

I previously shared the meatball recipe from “Goodfellas”, which included the legendary “Goodfellas Garlic” process as shown here by the great character Actor Paul Sorvino – see it here:
