Hi Patricia-I’m sure yours look gorgeous! I think I just lucked out getting the spaghetti twirled on the plate.

Hi Y-Funnily enough, my husband has had this twice since, he’s a fan!

Hi reemski-I should pick up Cook’s Companion more often but I’m more often lured by photos! I’ll definitely give that a try though!

Hi snookydoodle-I like desserts too, there’s more allowance to being pretty This is really easy though and delicious, especially if you add the vermouth or wine (it makes a big difference).

Hi Maria-Yes coincidence indeed. Blue cheese and pasta is a great combination!

Microplanes are amazing, you’ll be amazed at how you managed to survive with a regular grater!

Hi Cakelaw-My husband would prefer it your way, I think he likes getting more rather than 4 forkfuls of it (which is the size I prefer)

Hi Christie-Thanks so much!

Hi Lilia-I can imagine it would be very expensive and I can put up with some splatter instead

I almost fogot, your answer to no splatter is conductive stove from LG which is used by Tetsuya. He told the audience that you can cook milk in the pan without angry splatter around when you try to pour it on the side of the pot with LG new stove, the conductive stove. However, it may be very expensive.

Gorgeous presentation Lorraine. The best I’ve seen of pasta in a long time – including in restaurants!

What a gorgeous way to serve spaghetti – I made spaghetti on the weekend (which I rarely do!), and just plonked it unceremoniously on the plate – hence you will never see a photo of it!

You didn’t mention in your blog comment last night that you’d made carbonara yourself?

I made my Weight Watchers recipe Saturday night and posted it Sunday arvo.. what a surprise to come here and find that you did your version. And right now.. as I type, I happen to be eating spaghetti with a blue cheese sauce in it.. too many co-incidences!

Looks yummy!
I’m yet to own a microplane. I keep ‘visiting’ them in kitchenware stores.
