Ed's Review
In Greek Mythology, Narcissus was a hunter, deeply in love with his own beauty. Nemesis took note of this self-admiration and led him to a pool of water, where he was so taken by his reflection that he drowned.
Sure, most Italian males have learned nothing from this little tale, but I'm here to write about pasta, not psychology. Thus, all I can say is that If Narcissus were this bowl of pasta, he'd really be in love with himself. And who could blame him? Take one look the mushrooms, cream, prosciutto and Parmigiano, and it will be impossible to look away.
So here's the moral of this story: Be your own nemesis: lead yourself to this beautiful bowl of pasta and fall in love!
Buon Appetito!
