Some chefs do not think that the pasta dishes offered in restaurants are worth the price. “Pasta dishes that have basic pasta and sauce are surprisingly expensive for a dish that is really inexpensive to make,” said Nina Savasdikiati, owner of Ping Pong Thai in Las Vegas. She prefers to look for more intriguing and complex pasta dishes with unique ingredients and flavors.

For example, a classic Italian pasta dish, Cacho a Pepe, which is actually a cheese and pepper sauce made with minimal ingredients – pasta, parmesan, peppercorns and butter. True, Italian Parmesan is not cheap, but this pasta dish may be more expensive than you would expect when served in restaurants. “I often hesitate to order this dish in a restaurant because of its relatively high price,” he said Ryan Jones, the founder and executive chef of Free Reign Restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina. He claims that the pasta is usually made from dry pasta instead of fresh and that he encounters high prices that reach up to 38 dollars per portion (about NIS 140). When he has a craving for pasta, he makes it himself: “A well-made cacio e pepe is a dish that I really enjoy and enjoy making at home or sharing as part of a family meal,” Jones said.

“If I plan to spend my money, it will be on something memorable and unique. Not on something I can make at home every night of the week,” she added Amber Williamsthe head chef of Le Rouge Cuisine Food Co.
