This week on Chewed Up, the crew tackles one of the biggest kitchen debates: is fresh pasta actually worth the time?Michael Symon brings a deeply personal dish to the table — ricotta cavatelli, a pasta he grew up making with his grandmother. As he walks through the process step-by-step, what starts as a cooking demo quickly turns into something more meaningful: a conversation about food, memory, and why cooking is about connection as much as it is about technique.Carla jumps in to help shape the pasta (with a debatable level of success), while the conversation bounces between unpredictable spring weather, fitness realities, travel stories, and what it really means to cook “well.”The dish itself is a celebration of the season — tender homemade pasta tossed in a bright, silky brown butter sauce with peas, asparagus, lemon, and fresh dill. It’s simple, vibrant, and packed with flavor.By the end, the verdict is clear: fresh pasta isn’t just about the final dish — it’s about the experience. And yes… it’s absolutely worth it.👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: https://www.chewedupshow.com/recipesTimestamps:00:00 – Cold open + spring weather chaos01:00 – Spring cooking debate (comfort vs fresh)05:30 – Is fresh pasta worth it?06:00 – Making ricotta cavatelli dough10:00 – Letting dough rest + pasta tips13:30 – Shaping cavatelli by hand15:30 – Building the brown butter spring sauce20:00 – Cooking pasta + finishing in sauce27:00 – Final plating + taste test30:00 – Verdict: is it worth it?31:30 – Fan mail + cooking origins34:00 – Best trips + food memories39:00 – Fan giveaway41:00 – Chews Wisely game (spring edition)43:00 – Wrap up🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors:Frontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon’s collection featured on the show.https://frontgate.comFreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door.https://www.freshdirect.comProduced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/About Chewed UpThree lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.
