You Speak, I Listen
I’ve been aware of a few people who weren’t happy about the basil broth that our eggplant fettuccine swims in. I like this broth as a broth – thin and delicate rather than thick and sticky. But folks don’t seem to be getting it. They expect pasta to be served in a thick sauce, like a tomato sauce, rather than in a broth like ramen. So about a month ago I changed the broth so that it’s thicker and richer. I also decided to stop making the eggplant fettuccine vegan. We still serve vegan eggplant fettuccine on request, but vegan pasta is something of an acquired taste. I like it, but some people who aren’t used to it find it a little soft.

So now, our fettuccine is non-vegan (unless you’re a vegan, in which case, no problem) and our basil broth is more of a sauce. The dish tastes great: much richer and with a few more layers of flavor and people seem to be loving it. See? Dirt Candy listens to you.
