Homemade Pasta Trio

S3 E14 | JELLY ROLL, BUNNIE, LEEANN AND SUPER THICK PASTA | Something's Burning

CMA’s 2023 New Artist of the Year, Jelly Roll, and his equally impressive wife, Bunnie, come over for a double date with me and LeeAnn. I’m making some sexy homemade pasta with a trio of sauces to sample – one with scallops, one with rabbit, and a vodka sauce that’s got Jelly drooling. The obnoxiously thick pasta, however, is a different story.
