The Newest Great Bakery in New York: Trois Pommes
Had to comment on this so I joined. Trois Pomme has the most amazing mini peach-raspberry pies, tart without being obnoxiously sweet and the crust crisp and delicious. Beware the ones made with white peaches - that should be outlawed. Their key lime pie is deliciously sour.
That is all.

Goodness. Too many things to read. I think that you're just not comparing apples with apples here. Fresh pasta itself is perfect, needs very little flavoring, etc. So Batali makes sense. Especially if you've had his cacio e pepe pasta.
Bittman is discussing what's good for your health. It's definitely an American school of thought. Pasta as one of many ingredients in a dish. Still, there are lots of delicious dishes w/ pasta that aren't pasta-focused.
