I’ll try this one again. Ps: Great show! Hi,

The umming thing was just funny. How much is bothered Waz. The slight comedy injected into your shows makes them all the more enjoyable. I have to comment on this dish - the colour looked beautiful and Fresh! xx I love your shows.

Kate, I haven’t tried it with brown sugar, but maybe I will next time to see what difference it makes. Mr W, what’s dececco pasta and where can I buy some?! Sounds yummy. And I know Italians eat their pasta with a lot less sauce than us (and probably with yummy fresh pasta, too). But there’s something you should know about Aussies: nary a one does not drown their pasta in lots of sauce. However one day I promise to make my herbey/herbie?? pasta for you – definitely a dish where the pasta shines. Laura! I’ll not hear a bad word about Ready Steady Cook!! Good old Ains and his mates entertain me regularly (I am a food show junkie, though – the only ones I can’t stomach are Floyd’s, although Waz is a fan - Lenny Thanks for your responses, everyone.

Your sidekick was a total tool in this episode. If he keeps (as we say in the southern US) "cutting the fool", you might think about finding someone a little more interesting to umm...taste your food.

It was a good show as always. MMm, looks tasty, and me heap big pasta fan. :-)

Try mixing pasta and sauce together in large bowl with less sauce, a pasta sauce should lubricate the pasta not drown it. Also, a good tip is too cut the cherry tomatoes in half and squueze out the juice and seeds before adding to the pan. Dececco pasta is probably the best commerial brand of pasta available in the uk.

I was wondering whether using brown sugar could add a bit of depth to the flavor though. I haven't tried the recipe yet, but I'm looking forward to. The spaghetti looks really tastey!
