"For me, the broth is quintessentially the expression of the dish," Iron Chef Mario Batali explains of tortellini en brodo, which a hearty, warming Italian soup he likes to order from New York City hot spot Osteria Morini. He's also a fan of the hearty gramigna pasta with meat sauce (pictured above). This slow-cooked ragu boasts pork sausage and a splash of cream, and it's rounded out with bold garlicky oil just before serving.
