Wow… I am impressed by your passion and time spent on the review for La Maschera, but I am surprised to hear that you critiqued an Italian restaurant without trying the most important thing which is the pasta!.. I actually did try the Lasagna and my husband had the spaghetti with the crab meat and we both agreed that besides the food being delicious it was different than the other italian options in Pasadena. Also what you reffer to as “canelloni bean” is actually “Canellini Bean Dip” which is an Italian white bean, but ofcouse you being a food critic already knew that, you probably just forgot.

Hey there!
I’m not really sure exactly how much I used, probably 1-2 tsp? I used the smallest ice-cream scoop that they have most commonly available in stores like Bed Bath and Beyond… and also, yes I think the butter stiffening after a while will have an effect… if the butter has a chance to become room temperature and solidifies a bit as opposed to melted.. then it will not spread out as much since it has to first melt before it can spread. I hope that made sense… and that it helped a bit. Sorry if it didn’t!! Good luck if you are trying again.

Thanks for the review–I too am often disappointed by Pasadena’s offerings. But, my husband works there, so it can be a convenient place to catch a bite or a drink. We’ll have to check this place out. One place in Old Town that I like is Sol y Azul, it’s a light-filled space with a killer happy hour menu–very yummy snacks for cheap.
