Last-Minute Mother's Day: Fresh Pasta

By JULIETTE ROSSANT So, you got Mom a copy of Finding Betty Crocker (see previous article) for Mother's Day -- but what do you serve her when she comes over to pick up her well earned spoils? More from Betty Crocker? Why not surprise her with something like... fresh pasta! I just dug into the first batch of an order I had overnighted from 1-800-Gourmet -- lemon-pepper fettucini -- and it was superb, light and smooth-textured the way only fresh pasta can be. The maker is Ohio City Pasta; 1-800-Gourmet does the rest. I added grated cheese and ollive oil and fed my family. Mom may be expecting a meal that you have slaved over, but why not update her a bit on 21st Century lifestyles by serving her fresh pasta that you ordered rather than made? Yummy!
