Celebrity Chef Giada de Laurentiis Never Orders This Dish at a Restaurant

For celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis, lemon spaghetti is something she said you'll never find her ordering in the U.S.

Why? It's simple. "Because I can make it better at home," she said. "Sorry."

"I only eat it at my restaurant, or if I make it," De Laurentiis told The Messenger in an interview around the launch of her e-commerce pasta line called Giadzy.

In fact, the restaurateur said there's no point in ordering pasta of almost any kind while she's out because it's something she enjoys making — or when the cooks at her own restaurants make it.

"Lemon spaghetti or just angle hair or spaghetti with Pomodoro — no thanks."

And pasta with truffles? That's an absolute "no" for her.

She said the tubers are "just a way to charge more money" and have become so popular that they're sometimes consumed outside of their naturally occurring peak seasons.

She will, however, order a stuffed pasta like ravioli or tortellini. The chef said she understands how much time and skill those take to create, and likes to see what each chef has to offer.
