If you missed his show (travel channel) try to see it.....it is fantastic. it's all in black and white and his suits are great,,,,my oh my ....the FOOD!!!!! here goes....i made caponato....eggplant, green olives, onion, garlic, tomatoes capers, simmered til done.....added sherry vinegar, basil, toasted pine nuts......delish...served on baquette slices...
we also had CACIO E PEPE (cheese and pepper pasta) i used only pecorina romano (it calls for grated CACIO de ROMA also) put LOTS of freshly groung black pepper into evoo in skillet...heat until fragrant....have pasta cooking meantime then add 3/4 cup pasta water to skillet.....drain and add pasta to skillet.....add cheese....stir vigorously until sauce forms ...add more water if dry.......serve immediately......sprinkle with more cheese and black pepper......very yummy......wish i could have been in rome
