1. Pasta
"I love to cook pasta. It's an easy thing to make when you don't want to spend all night in the kitchen—whether it be a garlic and olive oil sauce or a quick tomato sauce with basil, it's always easy and delicious." –Alain Allegretti, La Promenade des Anglais Canada Goose

"Depends on the time of year. In July I'm dreaming about pasta and tomato sauce. There isn't anything much better than that in the middle of the summer." –Dan Barber, Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns

"I like making pasta and salads. You can use simple and fresh ingredients to create dishes with amazing flavors. You can do so many things with them. You can create a new pasta dish just by incorporating different ingredients. There is always a new combination to try." –François Payard, François Payard Bakery.Canada Goose Jakker

"Simple udon noodles." –Masaharu Morimoto, Morimoto Canada Goose Norge
