Rigatoni Al Segreto – Dinner Together With A Movie

This Rigatoni al Segreto recipe was the most closely guarded cloak-and-dagger at Gino’s, 1 of New York City’s most famous Italian restaurants. It was equally legendary, equally their signature zebra-print wallpaper, too it won awards equally the best cerise sauce inwards town. 

While in that place were rumors that the cloak-and-dagger element was butter, no 1 actually knew for sure. Once the eatery shut inwards 2010, the recipe got out, too indeed, the butter legend was confirmed. Having never been there, I was excited to endeavour it, but in that place was a large problem. Actually, a pocket-size problem. The recipe called for merely a half-tablespoon of butter. Regulars knew this couldn’t move right, too and hence the recipe remained a mystery. Was it a typo? Was the one-time chef merely trolling people?

We may never accept known; had it non been for a documentary called, “The Missing Ingredient.” It’s a neat film, but despite the name, it’s non nigh the butter. However, there’s a scene nigh the end, where the one-time chef makes this pasta for the filmmaker, too it shows how much butter goes in.

He made a much larger sum than the published version, but I concluded that it was a typo, too should’ve been one-half a stick of butter. So, non entirely am I recommending that yous brand this delicious sauce, but I besides actually promise yous checkout the moving painting shortly (it’s on Netflix). Enjoy!
