FEBRUARY 2018 Penne, Parmesan & Party Politics ho’s in for a night of Italian cuisine and political discourse? In a third season of Pasta & Politics with Nick Acocella, the Politifax editor combines his two passions in a delicious talk show that will have viewers salivating for what’s on the stove as well as the juice of the conversation. W WIn the first few episodes, former State Senators Ray Lesniak and Joe Kyrillos show off their culinary skills in the kitchen. Lesniak, the second longest serving state legislator in history, dives into creating a meatball lasagna and recounts his involvement in the panorama of progressive issues like marriage equality and environmental protection. Kyrillos brings some flavor from his own family to the program — his brother’s summer marinara rigatoni recipe — and wittily observes his own political career history and motivation. Between debating beach replenishment and Superstorm Sandy relief, Congressman Frank Pallone whisks eggs, pecorino and pepper and sautés pancetta for a hearty take on spaghetti carbonara. To combat the rich creaminess of that dish, Congressman Donald Payne, Jr. whips up a heart-healthy no-carb pasta with roasted cauliflower, while speaking of his admiration and respect for those he has served with while representing New Jersey’s 10th Congressional District. A sure-to-please Italian meal of seared scallops over linguine with capers and lemon juice is prepped by Congressman Leonard Lance. After tasting his creation, Nick Acocella asked him about the instances when Lance defied his party leadership in both the State Legislature and Congress when his principles demanded it. SEASON 3 PREMIERES WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7 AT 8PM Finally, Acocella invites NJTV News Senior Political Correspondent Michael Aron Preview videos and more at to the kitchen. The two of them cook “calamari a` la Aron,” while Aron anecdotally njtvonline.org/programs/pasta-and-politics recalls the night President Bill Clinton yelled at him.
