Angela takes on the ‘assassin’s method’ for our rock-star guest
Serge Pizzorno is musician, songwriter, record producer and co-founder of Kasabian. The band, who release their latest album, Act III, on 4 September, have been together since the early ’00s, with Serge taking on frontman responsibilities in 2020. He joins us after a huge gig at London’s Finsbury Park, in front of 50,000 people - so the Fast Food Quiz in front of the Dish crew should be a doddle. 
Serge’s palate has been on quite a journey, from bread with no butter to taking on big hitting flavours, including today’s spicy pasta. Angela serves bucatini all’assassina, with burrata & ’nduja crumb, using spaghetti instead of bucatini. It’s a pasta cooked like no other we’ve made on Dish before, using risotto-esque techniques and producing spaghetti with a dark, smoky char. It’s served with focaccia from Angela’s range, and paired by the Waitrose wine experts with a bottle of Araldica Barbera D'Asti Superiore. 
It was so much fun getting to know Serge off-stage. From his Italian roots, to his loyalty to Leicester, and his life-long passion for bread, he is welcome back anytime. And not only are we confident you will want to try the recipe after this episode, but you might go in search of a runner’s high too.
