“In the land of carb counting, a pasta advocate can be hard to find. Look no further than Dr. Alfredo Trento at the Smidt Heart Institute, who did Cedars-Sinai’s first heart transplant in 1988 and has loved Italian cooking a lot longer than that.
Dr. Trento grew up in Italy, and the love of his life, Robin, spent much of the first year of their marriage learning about one of his other great loves: his mother’s cooking. Versions of those recipes—now with Robin’s own flair—still form the staples of their meals today, drawing inspiration from what’s in season.
A great meal doesn’t necessarily require a trip to the farmers market. Chat with Dr. Trento for a few minutes, and he’ll have you scouring your kitchen cupboards for the makings of a mouth-watering meal that’s as kind to your heart as it is to your palate.”
