You might not expect the next move of a touring comedian to be writing a cookbook, but for Matteo Lane, it just makes sense. Your Pasta Sucks: A “Cookbook” is equal parts comedy and cooking, with a combination of recipes and funny stories from his life, his colorful family, and the years he spent living in Italy.
Given all the time he spends on the road, Matteo needs to find great food wherever he’s performing, so he’ll be the first to tell you: he’s passionately opinionated about what he eats. We asked about the New York pasta palaces you’ve been overlooking, plus a few other gems he keeps in rotation when he’s in town. Check out his new special, Matteo Lane: The Al Dente Special, on Hulu now.
