Good Taste with Tanji - Wine, food and fun with Tanji Patton.

Taste a little bit of Italy all week long here at Goodtaste.tv! Our week begins with celebrating Columbus Day and continues as we peruse through the priceless advice – and recipes – of Mary Martini, the head of Central Market’s Cooking School in San Antonio. We’re talking everything from kneading your own dough to create the perfect pasta (a dying art), to quick and easy entrées that you can dress up or down for practically any saucy season or occasion. Simply put, the holidays wouldn’t be complete without pasta…here we go!

Pasta is…soft, silky and sexy according to Mary! As a big fan, I agree. Fresh pasta cooks much quicker than dry pasta…that’s just a tip. And one of many from culinary maven Mary. Click here to see this amazing meal develop in mere minutes. Feel free to embellish with protein!

Mary turns the science of pasta creation into a real no-brainer. Watch here as she guides you through making the perfect pasta dough. Recipes for fresh egg pasta, creamy herbed pesto & ‘no-cook’ Puttanesca sauce to follow!

These tools help you get the job done right – and are made for helping you prep pasta from scratch! Watch this short video to see which instruments Mary makes a point to keep in her repertoire…
