New Rigatoni Al Segreto – Dinner In Addition To A Movie

This Rigatoni al Segreto recipe was the most closely guarded underground at Gino’s, 1 of New York City’s most famous Italian restaurants. It was every bit legendary, every bit their signature zebra-print wallpaper, together with it won awards every bit the best scarlet sauce inwards town. 

While in that place were rumors that the underground constituent was butter, no 1 actually knew for sure. Once the eating theater shut inwards 2010, the recipe got out, together with indeed, the butter legend was confirmed. Having never been there, I was excited to drive it, but in that place was a large problem. Actually, a pocket-size problem. The recipe called for simply a half-tablespoon of butter. Regulars knew this couldn’t last right, together with then the recipe remained a mystery. Was it a typo? Was the quondam chef simply trolling people?

We may never convey known; had it non been for a documentary called, “The Missing Ingredient.” It’s a neat film, but despite the name, it’s non almost the butter. However, there’s a scene close the end, where the quondam chef makes this pasta for the filmmaker, together with it shows how much butter goes in.

He made a much larger total than the published version, but I concluded that it was a typo, together with should’ve been one-half a stick of butter. So, non exclusively am I recommending that y'all brand this delicious sauce, but I besides actually promise y'all checkout the moving painting before long (it’s on Netflix). Enjoy!
