I developed this for a friend’s birthday hosted at my home. It works well with large groups of all ages. I brought it in as a potential menu item during the initial recipe-testing phase of Tabella. It didn’t have a name, but – as a joke— I listed the temporary, tongue-in-cheek title as “Pasta Roberto,” assuming that we would find a better name before we opened. As we were getting the restaurant ready to open in the weeks before the launch, I cooked it often for the manager and staff lunches. They called it Pasta Roberto too. We never came up with an official name, and it still on the menu as Pasta Roberto.
