Patrick Le Beau
Many fake quotes go round the Internet, but we're very sure that Patrick Henry said “give me pasta or give me death.” Really, when given a bowl of cavatappi with rich mushrooms, sweet peas, and not one, not two, but three cheeses, what else are you going to say? As the patriot Nathan Hale said, “I only regret, that I have but one pasta dish to eat from Home Chef this week.” Tip: If you're looking for the right texture for the sauce, dip a spoon in and see how well it sticks to the back. If it coats, you're good to go.
