After 3 years of sweat, tears, minimal blood, and lots of carbs, the time has come to announce the publication of my FIRST COOKBOOK! One-Pot Pasta, coming October 20 via @workmanpub and @hachetteus! Inside you’ll find a collection of 45 freaking delicious pasta recipes that come together in a single pot.

This book has been a labor of love, a testament to the whole “it takes a village” thing, and a representation of what’s so cool about tradition, recipes, and cooking.

* PREORDERING is CRAZY IMPORTANT FOR SALES! IF THE BELOW GETS YOU PUMPED, YOU CAN SUPPORT AND PREORDER AT THE LINK IN MY BIO. *

The origin story of the book is kinda loco: 15 years ago, during a break between seasons as TV chefs on The Martha Stewart Show, @smastracco and I traveled to a small seaside village in Puglia. We dined at a quintessential hole in the wall, ate the best pasta of our lives, and nudged our way into the restaurant’s kitchen after all the other diners had long gone home. It was there where I learned how to make pasta in one pot— throwing raw spaghetti into a skillet with all the ingredients of the dish and barely enough water to cook the noodles. The technique yielded an infinitely more luxurious, perfectly-sauced plate of pomodoro, due precisely to the fact that the pasta is NOT boiled in a separate pot, thereby retaining all of its starch. Back in the States, I showed @marthastewart48 the technique. The recipe was published in her magazine and the craze took off from there. This book has been sitting inside me ever since… just waiting to be written.

There’s a lot more to say about all of this which I’ll be doing in the weeks to come but if I may end by shouting out ALL the cookbook authors in the world: this shit ain’t easy and I SALUTE YOU! I feel humbled to be a part of the pack.

Thank you to the amazing team at @workmanpub and @hachetteus, designer @ninasimoneaux, my agent @noragonzales, my editor @morrisseykohnhorst, and my World Famous (to me, at least) photo team, @pennydelossantos @alyssaalwayshungry @maeve_sheridan @palora @ainhoahardy @cspearnak @sortedbyschwartz

And thank you to about a million people more, but I’ll get to all of them soon enough. by @norasingley

In Feb 2021, I wrote a wacky want ad looking for love, took a shot of tequila, and sent it out to 94 friends. The premise: you might not know someone for me yourself, but you probably don’t realize that you know someone who knows someone for me. Forward this email with abandon and hook a sister up, I instructed, and check out these prizes for any successful matchmaking. Turns out my idea wasn’t so wacky after all, and the wide net I cast caught me a fucking incredible fish. ❤️And whatdyaknow, @drewbarrymore caught wind of my story and had me on @thedrewbarrymoreshow with dating expert @thematthewhussey to talk about it. And to my matchmaker extraordinaire @picklesfrank I owe you much more than a lifetime Edible Arrangements. by @norasingley

Say it with me… LABOR DAY CASSOULET. I’ve turned this wintery number into precisely what you want to close the summer out with. Beans and breadcrumbs plus a million aromatics and every herb you’ve got growing… and bonus, you get to cook something that has a pretty sweet rhyme scheme.

I neglected to promote my Triple Tomato Jam-fit (jam + confit) to the level it deserves. But it’s never too late. Nevah!

It’s one of the most hands-off (prep-wise) kitchen power plays in my book: concentrated, rich, and full of uncompromising tomato essence.

There are a trillion things to do with this jam-fit (and I’ll give you some ideas in the link.) But the obvious template for the stuff is atop pasta. (Don’t forget the ricotta.) What may not be obvious is my favorite way to noodle: MIX THEM ALL UP.

Techniques and recipes for all of it at NOODLE (it’s no coincidence), my recipe newsletter. Link in BIO!

So… it’s March. It’s a wretched time of the year for tomatoes. Do you miss them?!! You don’t have to!!

Get yourself some out-of-season plum tomatoes (they’re at bargain basement prices now, too) and GET YOUR JAM-FIT going. That’s right… it’s a jam. It’s a confit. It’s a TRIPLE TOMATO JAM-FIT, fortified with tomato paste, sun-dried tomatoes in oil (time and a place— trust), anchovies, herbs, sugar, chile, garlic, sherry vin, and mucho olive oil. Say buh-bye for 4 hours as it melts down in the oven into the the richest, most concentrated, and spunky sum of parts you’ve had all winter. Use it on everything, everywhere. Fish, steak, carbs of all kinds, chicken, tofu, dips, schmears, sandos, salads, pastas, pasta salads.

Lasts for more than a month in the fridge so… it’s there when you need to amp somethin’ up in a pinch. In short, I LOVE THIS STUFF.
