We tried Audrey Hepburn's personal pasta recipe

Here at Allrecipes we love getting a peek into the home lives of our favorite celebrities—or rather their kitchens. Whether it’s an NFL legend a country music icon or even a former first lady finding out what our favorite A-listers love to cook and eat can make you feel a lot more relatable. Even when it comes to old Hollywood stars as iconic as Audrey Hepburn. Her brilliance and charisma made her one of the most untouchable actresses of her time but when you discover the “lazy girl” meal she made when life got too chaotic you’ll realize she’s just like the rest of us.

Thanks to her son Luca Dotti and his cookbook "Audrey at Home" we have a fairly complete picture of what went on in Audrey Hepburn's home kitchen. The actress fueled her prolific on-screen career with one food group in particular: pasta so much so that Dotti has claimed to have a "serious pasta addiction."

She was especially fond of pasta al pomodoro which she made with vegetables grown in her backyard. But for times when she didn’t feel like going all out with her signature homemade tomato sauce she relied on a similar but simpler version with an unconventional ingredient: ketchup.
