I hadn’t realized just how much the bold freshness of their ingredients has changed since they started to prepare some of their ingredients in central kitchens. But I think it took me close to 90 minutes. Now it’s back to spaghetti.
Why? Most of the things you made can be made in volume - enough for a few meals, and not necessarily the "same meal in a bowl." While you're watching water boil for the spaghetti, you could make half the meal.
