Q: @fabioviviani I’m trying to limit pasta from my diet, but it’s hard being italian. Ugh. What other options/subsititions can you suggest?
A: Suicide- that’s what I would do if they took pasta away from me !! But if that’s too extreme then do rice OR just like we do in Italy, have some pasta but not a lot. Or you could do pasta with a lighter sauce and using veggies. A little bit of fun is better than no fun

Q: Just made Pasta with whole wheat flour. It needed more moisture. Whats best way besides more eggs to add moisture to pasta dough.
A: Why not add more eggs ? What’s wrong with them ? Eggs would have been my answer. You can use egg yolks for whole wheat pasta- this kind of pasta needs a lot of fat since it’s not elastic like white pasta. If you want to be heallthier and avoid eggs, you may want to drop the pasta all together

Q: Any special tips for freezing pasta or preparing it ahead of time without it sticking? My batch of fresh gnocchi is more than I can eat alone. Will it keep well frozen and for how long?
A: Yes, gnocchi is perfect for freezing !! Freeze them on a flat sheet when they are raw. Once frozen, you can put them in a bag all together. Don’t put them in a bag together before they’re frozen or they will stick together !! Once frozen, you can toss them straight into boiling water without letting thaw first.

Q: What is your favorite and most used kitchen tool other than a chef’s knife?
A: My hand and a spoon.
I am new to this but it looks great.
Thanks Linda !!
Dear Fabio,
hello it’s me again, Marian, did I tell you I live in Seattle (Renton) Washington? I am soooooo glad to hear that you will be publishing another cookbook. I think it’s your 2nd or so. I can’t think of the title just now but I’m sure I saw it at Amazon.com which is where I buy all my books, books NOT eBooks on Kindel(?) call me old fashionesd but I love REAL books. Well anyway, I will be looking for your new book.
Ciao Fabio!
Asked a dietician how much pasta I could have as I love it also. She stated 5 oz would not be a problem.
