Ayesha Curry knows what your day needs—a healthy serving of pasta. "I have to say, I can't think of anything in the world more comforting than a big bowl of carb-loaded
pasta," she tells ELLE.com from inside her kitchen. "Any type of pasta, you name it, I love it. It's what makes me feel like I'm getting a warm hug. It's what brings the family together around the table."
It's certainly what's leading us to her table—where she's whipping up a favorite in the Curry household, her roasted red pepper pasta. Curry is an expert at crafting recipes that are both delicious and easy to make (cc: her new cookbook, The Full Plate). Watch this episode of Mama I Made It to see her sing pasta's praises, explain the virtues of store-bought products, and sprinkle cheese in a way that is nothing short of magical.
