When the alarm went off at four in the morning, Patrick Aller was quick to jump out of bed. He was not groggy, he did not complain. He was elated. In part, his eagerness to be awake at such an early hour may have been because he was only in elementary school. The bigger reason? It was time to cook. His grandpa would be waiting for him at the stove heating up the burners and gathering ingredients. The pair set out to make pasta with red sauce, just like his grandpa would make back home in Sicily. Aller would chop, stir and mix all day until it was cooked to perfection.
